DU non-teaching jobs: 215 more Assistant vacancies, apply by November 19

The University of Delhi (DU) has issued a recruitment notice for 215 additional posts of Assistant, a non-teaching administrative job, under Advertisement No. R&P/325/2026, dated 29 October 2026. Online applications opened the same day and will close on 19 November 2026, or two weeks after the notice appears in the Employment News, whichever is later. The posts are open to graduates with two years of relevant experience who meet the typing and computer requirements.

Permanent non-teaching jobs at a central university are sought after by graduates because they come with central government pay scales, job security and a clear path to promotion. Pay Level 4 is the band used for many entry-level administrative posts in central government institutions. For a graduate in their twenties who has spent two years in an office job, a role like this can be a step towards a stable public-sector career.

This notice comes soon after DU's earlier advertisement this month for 126 Assistant and Senior Assistant posts, so candidates who missed or were not eligible for that round have a second chance. Applicants should read each notice separately, since the eligibility, number of posts and dates are not the same.

The experience requirement is the main filter. Fresh graduates without two years of relevant work experience will not qualify, so this opening suits young professionals who have already worked in offices, accounts or administration. The typing test means candidates should practise to the stated speeds before the skill test. Because the selection has three stages, candidates should prepare for the written tests as well as the practical typing round, rather than relying on experience alone. Details of the age limit and fee differ between unofficial job portals, so applicants must check the official notification on du.ac.in before paying any fee. What to do next: download the official notification from du.ac.in, check the age limit, fee and reservation details for your category, keep scanned documents ready, and apply well before the closing date.

Short-term: Eligible graduates have about three weeks to apply. Dates for the preliminary and main tests were not given in the reports reviewed.

Long-term: The recruitment will fill administrative vacancies at the university and its offices, which affects how smoothly student services, admissions and examinations run.

Who is affected: Graduates with two years' office experience looking for government jobs, current DU staff who will gain colleagues, and students who depend on the university's administration.
