A Central University job with no interview — that is what makes this notification worth your attention. Hemvati Nandan Bahuguna Garhwal University (HNBGU), Srinagar Garhwal, has invited applications for 27 Group B Non-Teaching posts across 12 roles, all at Pay Level 6 or Level 7. Track more university and central government openings.
Applications open 17 August 2026 and close 16 September 2026 at 6:00 PM, through the University’s SAMARTH portal only. Nine of the twelve posts demand prior work experience — but three do not: Senior Technical Assistant (Auto CAD), Senior Technical Assistant (HAPPRC) and Sports Coach ask only for the degree and diploma.

Category-wise the 27 posts split as UR 19, SC 2, OBC-NCL 5 and EWS 1 — there is no ST reservation in this advertisement, the ST column is blank for all twelve posts. Two posts are reserved for PwBD candidates — one Locomotor Disability seat within Assistant and one Low Vision seat within Senior Technical Assistant (ICT) — counted within the post totals, not on top. The University may also give preference to a suitable PwD candidate irrespective of whether a post is earmarked for PwD, so PwD candidates should not rule out the other ten roles.

Age, qualification and experience are all reckoned as on 16 September 2026. Relaxation for SC, ST, OBC and PwD candidates follows DoPT and Government of India rules, and existing University employees get relaxation under the University’s own Cadre Recruitment Rules. A reserved-category candidate applying against a UR post gets no relaxation in age or marks.
What is the Salary for HNBGU Non-Teaching Posts 2026?
We will stick strictly to what the notification prints: it lists only the Pay Level for each post and does not print the corresponding rupee pay-matrix figures.
| Pay Level | Posts |
|---|---|
| Level 7 | Private Secretary, Assistant Engineer (Civil), Horticulturist, Sports Coach |
| Level 6 | Assistant, Personal Assistant, all three Senior Technical Assistant roles, Junior Engineer (Civil), Junior Engineer (Electrical), AIPRO |
The notification specifies pay only as Level 6 or Level 7 of the pay matrix. The exact basic pay figures are not printed, so confirm them from the University at the appointment stage.
Being a Central University post, the appointment carries central government service benefits — DA, HRA, medical facilities, leave entitlements and pension under the applicable scheme — all as per Government of India rules.
What is the Selection Process for HNBGU Non-Teaching Recruitment 2026?
Read this carefully, because it is what candidates most often get wrong: the notification prescribes no interview for these posts. Note, though, that the same document still mentions an interview elsewhere — the Selection Committee may set its own evaluation method “in the interview, if applicable” — so treat the written or skill test as the live stage and watch the University website.
| Stage | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Screening and scrutiny | A Screening Committee prepares the eligible list on criteria it decides. Holding the essential qualification does not guarantee being called forward |
| Written or skill test | Held at the University’s discretion under its Cadre Recruitment Rules |
| Interview | None — no interview for Group B posts carrying Grade Pay ₹4,600 or less, per the MHRD letter cited in the notification |
| Document verification | Originals on demand; in-service applicants need an NOC and Vigilance Clearance in a sealed cover, deputation applicants five years of CR dossiers |
Skill test norms are already fixed for two posts: Private Secretary — dictation 10 minutes at 120 or 100 wpm, transcription 50 minutes (English) or 60 minutes (Hindi); Personal Assistant — dictation 10 minutes at 100 wpm, transcription 40 minutes (English) or 55 minutes (Hindi). Stenography aspirants should practise daily against a timer and work through relevant previous year question papers.
How to Apply Online for HNBGU Recruitment 2026?
Applications are accepted only online through the SAMARTH portal — no hard copy of the application or documents need be sent to the University. Scan all certificates in high resolution first: poor-quality uploads are grounds for outright rejection. If your claimed experience is from a non-government organisation you must also upload Form-16 to evidence your emoluments, or that experience will not be counted.
| Step | What to Do |
|---|---|
| 1 | Register on the SAMARTH portal with a valid email ID and mobile number (see Essential Links below) |
| 2 | Log in and select your post from the live vacancy list |
| 3 | Fill the prescribed format with complete personal, academic and experience details |
| 4 | Upload self-attested scans of degrees, marksheets, experience and category certificates |
| 5 | If you are already in service anywhere — not only government or university — upload the NOC or forwarding from your employer’s competent authority |
| 6 | Pay the fee online — credit card, debit card, net banking or UPI |
| 7 | Submit and save a printout of the application and payment receipt |
Applying for more than one post means a separate application and a separate fee for each. The portal closes sharp at 6:00 PM on 16 September 2026.

Five conditions in the notification are worth reading before you pay.

| University’s discretion | It may withdraw the advertisement wholly or partly, and fill or not fill some or all posts, without assigning reasons |

A reserve panel may also be drawn up, valid for one year. The University sends nothing by post — every corrigendum appears only on its website — and appointees are governed by the CCS (Conduct) Rules, 1964 and CCS (CCA) Rules, 1965.
