| Application Fee | Not mentioned in the notification |
Because this is a walk-in, the whole process happens on one morning at one place. You do not need to wait for any call letter, because the notice invites eligible candidates to appear directly. That also means there is no second chance if you miss the day, so mark 7 October 2026 in your calendar now.
How Many Vacancies are in MANUU Recruitment 2026?
| Post | Break-up | Vacancies |
|---|---|---|
| Caretaker (Female) | 3 Day Caretaker + 3 Residential Caretaker | 6 |
| Cook (Male/Female) | – | 3 |
| Helper (Male/Female) | – | 4 |
| Total | – | 13 |
Please note that the Caretaker post is only for women, while Cook and Helper are open to both men and women. The notification does not give any category-wise split of these 13 posts, so we have not made one up. The registration form does ask for your category, so carry your caste certificate if you have one.
The 6 Caretaker posts are split into 3 Day Caretaker and 3 Residential Caretaker positions. The notice does not explain the duties of each, so if you have a preference, mention it politely at the interview.
What is the Eligibility for MANUU Caretaker, Cook and Helper 2026?
Educational Qualification
| Post | Essential Qualification |
|---|---|
| Caretaker (Female) | Graduate from a recognised University / Institute, proficiency in Computer Operations, and knowledge of Urdu |
| Cook (Male/Female) | 10th Pass from a recognised Board and knowledge of Urdu |
| Helper (Male/Female) | 10th Pass from a recognised Board and knowledge of Urdu |
For the Caretaker post you need to be a graduate. For Cook and Helper, 10th pass is enough. Knowledge of Urdu appears in the essential qualification for all three posts, and the instructions also say Urdu-knowing candidates will be preferred. The registration form asks you to say Yes or No and to name your proof, so bring something that shows it, such as a marksheet with Urdu as a subject.
Experience
| Post | Experience |
|---|---|
| Caretaker (Female) | 2 years in managing Hostel / Canteen / Guest House related affairs |
| Cook (Male/Female) | 2 years of cooking in the kitchen of a Hostel / Canteen / Guest House; preference to those who can cook North Indian, South Indian, Vegetarian and Non-Vegetarian dishes |
| Helper (Male/Female) | Preference to those with experience in maintenance and cleanliness of Hostels / Canteens or other large eating-houses |
For Helper, experience is written only as a preference, so a fresher with 10th pass can still walk in. For Caretaker and Cook, two years of experience is listed, so carry an experience certificate.
Age Limit
| Category | Age |
|---|---|
| All posts | Preferably below 32 years |

The notice says “preferably below 32 years”. It does not give a cut-off date and it does not mention any age relaxation for any category. If you are a little older but strong on experience, read the notice yourself before deciding.
What is the Salary for MANUU Caretaker, Cook and Helper 2026?
| Post | Remuneration (Consolidated) |
|---|---|
| Caretaker (Female) | ₹25,200 per month |
| Cook (Male/Female) | ₹25,200 per month |
| Helper (Male/Female) | ₹20,675 per month |
This is a consolidated amount, which means one fixed monthly figure. The notice does not mention any allowances, pay level or increments.
The engagement is purely short-term, initially for 89 days. It can be extended based on your performance and the needs of the University. Renewal depends on both, so it is not automatic.
One thing stands out here. A 10th-pass Cook gets the same ₹25,200 that the University pays a graduate Caretaker. So if you have two solid years in a hostel, canteen or guest house kitchen, your experience is being valued at par with a degree. Do not undersell it at the interview.
What is the Selection Process for MANUU Walk-in 2026?

The notice names only these steps. The University also keeps the right not to fill the posts, or to cancel the walk-in interview, without giving any reason. So check the official website once more before you leave home.
How to Apply for MANUU Caretaker, Cook and Helper Walk-in 2026?
There is no online application and no postal application for these posts. You apply by walking in on the interview day with the filled form in hand.
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Download the notice (link in Essential Links). The Registration Form is on its last page (page 3) |
| 2 | Fill the form by hand: post applied for, name in capital letters, father’s name, date of birth, category, qualifications, experience, Urdu knowledge, address, contact details and two references |
| 3 | Sign the declaration and attach one set of self-attested photocopies of your education, age proof, experience and caste certificates (if applicable) |
| 4 | Paste or attach one passport-size photograph |
| 5 | Reach the University Guest House, MANUU Campus, Gachibowli, Hyderabad, and register your name before 9:30 AM on 7 October 2026 |
| 6 | Hand over the filled form by hand at registration, show your original certificates for verification and attend the interview at 10:00 AM |
For the two references, give people who are not related to you, with their contact numbers and email IDs. MANUU uses them to verify your work experience.
A few practical tips for the day. Keep your photocopies in the same order as the form, so the person checking them can move quickly. Carry a pen, and keep your originals in a separate folder. Gachibowli traffic can be slow in the morning, so plan to reach the campus well before 9:30 AM, not at 9:25.
