RBU Kolkata Recruitment 2026 – How to apply
Send the application and attested testimonials to the Curator (I/C), Rabindra Bharati Museum, RBU, 6/4 Dwarkanath Tagore Lane, Jorasanko Campus, Kolkata-700007. Applications can also be sent by e-mail to the address printed in this notice: rabindrabharatimuseumkolkata@gmail.com.

Should you apply for RBU Kolkata Recruitment 2026?
The coach posts suit someone who already coaches elsewhere and wants a small part-time addition, since the pay is ₹8,000 a month for adjustable duty hours. The 35 to 55 age band rules out younger and much older applicants. The Museum Trainee post fits a Rabindra Bharati University postgraduate who wants hands-on museum experience, but it is closed to outside candidates, and the notice states no stipend. The Technical Assistant post is the narrowest of the three. It requires a Master’s in Museology from this university and at least one year as a museum trainee here, so it mainly suits someone who has already worked at the museum. All three posts are temporary or contractual, with no promise of a regular appointment.
