💡 Expert Tip

There are TWO separate application portals for this recruitment — do NOT submit your form on the wrong link or your application will be rejected outright. Post Doctoral Fellow, Project Fellow, and Guest Faculty (Yogic Science) must apply at https://csu.co.in/cntpt/, while all other posts (Young Professionals, Office Assistant, Technical Assistant, System Analyst, Account Officer, Video Editor) use https://csu.co.in/cntpnt/. Also note: part-time, daily wage, visiting/guest faculty experience will NOT be counted for shortlisting. If currently employed, arrange your NOC from your employer before the interview — missing it will disqualify you at document verification stage. Interview schedules are communicated ONLY via registered email, so monitor your Spam folder regularly after the last date.
