How to Crack GNDU Exams
For faculty aspirants, achieving a high API score through publications in UGC-listed journals is the primary hurdle. For non-teaching and clerical roles, proficiency in Punjabi (Matric standard) is mandatory and often tested during the written or interview phase. Clerk-cum-DEO candidates should practice typing daily in both English and Punjabi to meet the 30 w.p.m. benchmark. Always check the 'Career with Us' section on gndu.ac.in for specific 'Advertisement Numbers' as multiple notices (e.g., Advt No. 1/2026, 2/2026) may be active simultaneously for different departments.
