Recruitment for faculty positions

Ravenshaw, one of the premier educational institutions in the country, was established in 1868 in Cuttack, Odisha. After one hundred and forty years of eventful existence, it was converted into Ravenshaw University by an Act of the State Legislature on November 15, 2006. Thus, as one of the heritage educational institutions, and as a young university, Ravenshaw is a veritable blend of the old and the new.

The Ravenshaw campus with its majestic structures was set up in the year 1919 on the eastern side of Cuttack. After becoming a university, Ravenshaw has acquired another one hundred and forty acres of land on the bank of river Mahanadi to build its second campus for the new disciplines of management and applied sciences.

The old Ravenshaw campus is located very close to the Cuttack Railway Station, and is about a 45 minutes drive from the Bhubaneswar Airport.

As a young university, the old Ravenshaw is now in the throes of preservation and change. Its infrastructure, both academic and physical, is being strengthened and expanded to meet the needs to make it more contemporary, and raise the level of its excellence. For instance, Ravenshaw University is soon going to recruit a brand new faculty for its various disciplines.
