MBSPSU Teaching and Non-Teaching Recruitment 2026

Maharaja Bhupinder Singh Punjab Sports University (MBSPSU), Patiala, has opened recruitment under Advertisement No. 04/2026 for teaching and non-teaching positions at the university and its constituent colleges. The vacancies cover academic, sports, physiotherapy, library, technical and administrative roles, so applicants should check the qualifications and language conditions for their chosen post.

The notification announces 122 vacancies across three institutions. Online applications and fee payments are due by 4 December 2026, and applicants must also arrange for four printed application sets to reach the university by 9 December 2026. Applications are submitted online, followed by hard-copy delivery; selection depends on the post and may include shortlisting and interviews, a Punjabi qualifying test, a written examination or a skill test.
