How Many Vacancies Are There in MSSC Office Assistant Recruitment 2026?
The 10 direct posts are split across three groups. Abhiyan has the most seats. Finance needs an accounting background and Tally knowledge, and selected candidates may be moved between departments.

|---|---|---|
| Finance (वित्त) | 2 | 2 |
| Abhiyan (अभियान) | 6 | Combined with other departments (8) |
| Other Departments (इतर विभाग) | 2 | 8 (combined with Abhiyan) |
| Total | 10 | 10 |
The waiting list is not a job offer. It is a ready panel, and MSSC will pick from it in merit order when a post falls vacant in the next one year. The advertisement says the number of posts may increase. It does not give any category-wise reservation, so none is shown here.

What is the Salary for MSSC Office Assistant 2026?
The advertisement fixes the pay for the Office Assistant post at ₹25,000. It does not list any pay level, allowance or other benefit, and it does not say whether the amount is paid per month, so check this at the interview before you accept the offer.
Remember the job is on contract for 11 months. The notice says reappointment depends on the Corporation’s needs, and on the employee’s ability, knowledge gained and other criteria. It is not automatic. A selected Office Assistant may also be moved from one department to another as the office requires.
What is the Selection Process for MSSC Office Assistant 2026?
