Hi, I am Praveen from Karnataka. I am 35 year old and right now working in software industry. I would like to do M.Tech and join as lecturer. If I start now, by the time I complete my M.Tech I will be 37-38 year old. I want to know whether there is any age limit to join as a lecturer?

Age of the candidates should be between 21 to 40 years of age to join as a Lecturer in engineering colleges. Though, age restrictions apply to candidates who fall within specific categories.*

To be eligible for this position, you would need a master's degree from an accredited university with a grade of at least*55%. After clearing the selection test and earning the UGC NET Certificate, you*can apply for lecturer positions at prestigious universities around the nation.

The upper age limit for the post of lecturer in Engineering College appear to be 35 years of age as on the last date of application. Sometimes the upper age limit is relaxed up to 37 years in case of candidates having outstanding record in academic and research in the relevant field.

In the case of SC/ST applicant's there is age relaxation of 05 years.
