Key Facts
- Employer: University of Delhi (DU), for non-teaching posts in its departments.
- Posts: 126 in total, 46 Senior Assistant and 80 Assistant, under Advertisement No. R&P/323/2026 dated October 19, 2026.

Why It Matters
For graduates who already have a few years of office experience, a university job offers stable central-scale pay, regular hours and a public employer. Non-teaching staff run the administration of a university: admissions, examinations, accounts, records and student services. Pay Levels 4 and 6 are slots on the central government's pay matrix; the take-home salary at each level also includes allowances such as dearness allowance, which the official advertisement and the university's rules set out. The selection has three stages: a written test, a skill test (typing for the Assistant post), and verification of documents, so candidates need to prepare for more than one kind of test.
The requirement for experience shapes who can apply. These are not fresher posts. Assistant applicants need two years of relevant work, and Senior Assistant applicants three. Typing speed is tested for the Assistant post, so candidates who rely on dictation or slow typing should practise before the skill test.
Some details vary across job websites, and applicants should not rely on them. Listings give different upper age limits, with one site saying 32 years for Assistant and 35 for Senior Assistant and another giving 35 for both, and one site gave a different total for the posts. The official advertisement on du.ac.in is the only reliable source for age limits, reservation, fees and the exact closing date.
What to do next: download the official advertisement from du.ac.in, check your degree, experience certificates and age against it, prepare scanned documents in the required format, and apply between October 23 and the closing date. Keep an eye on Employment News, since the final date depends on when the advertisement appears there.
| Post | Vacancies | Key requirement | Pay level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Senior Assistant | 46 | Graduate plus 3 years' experience | Level 6 |
| Assistant | 80 | Graduate plus 2 years' experience and typing | Level 4 |
Impact
Short-term: Eligible candidates have a short window from October 23 to apply; coaching institutes may see demand for clerical and typing test preparation.
Long-term: Filling 126 posts should strengthen the university's administrative capacity in its departments.
Who is affected: Graduates with office experience, especially in Delhi and nearby states; Delhi University's departments; and students who rely on smooth administration.
Key Takeaway
Delhi University will take online applications for 126 Senior Assistant and Assistant posts from October 23 to November 9, 2026, open to graduates with two to three years of experience.
