NIT Agartala Non-Teaching Recruitment 2026: 51 Vacancies, Eligibility, Pay Level and CBT Pattern
The National Institute of Technology Agartala has opened direct recruitment for 51 non-teaching posts spread over eight post codes, from Lab Attendant right up to Technical Assistant and Junior Engineer. This is a centrally funded Institute of National Importance, so the job carries 7th CPC Pay Level 1 to Level 6 and the security of a regular appointment. If you have finished 10+2 in Science, or hold an ITI certificate, a diploma or a B.E./B.Tech, there is very likely a post code here written for you. Anyone hunting for government jobs in Tripura should read this one closely.
The online form opens at 10:00 AM on 20 September 2026 and shuts at 05:00 PM on 20 October 2026. The apply link exists on the institute website only inside that window, so there is nothing to click before it opens or after it closes. Your age, your qualification and every other eligibility condition are judged as on 20 October 2026. Below you will find the post-wise seats, the category split, the pay level, the fee and the exact Computer Based Test pattern — keep GovtJobsAlert.in open while you fill the form.

How Many Vacancies in NIT Agartala Non-Teaching Recruitment 2026? Post-Wise Details
The reservation split changes completely from one post code to the next, so find your own row before you decide anything. Three post codes carry no SC seat, five carry no ST seat and five carry no OBC-NCL seat. If you were planning to apply against your own category, that zero is the first thing to check.
| Post (Code) | Category-wise Vacancies | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Technical Assistant (1) | UR 4, SC 1, ST 0, OBC-NCL 2, EWS 0 | 7 |
| Junior Engineer, Civil or Electrical (2) | UR 3, SC 1, ST 0, OBC-NCL 1, EWS 0 | 5 |
| Library & Information Assistant (3) | UR 4, SC 0, ST 0, OBC-NCL 1, EWS 0 | 5 |
| SAS Assistant (4) | UR 2, SC 0, ST 0, OBC-NCL 0, EWS 0 | 2 |
| Pharmacist (5) | UR 1, SC 0, ST 0, OBC-NCL 0, EWS 0 | 1 |
| Senior Technician (6) | UR 4, SC 1, ST 3, OBC-NCL 0, EWS 1 | 9 |
| Technician (7) | UR 6, SC 2, ST 5, OBC-NCL 0, EWS 1 | 14 |
| Lab Attendant (8) | UR 3, SC 2, ST 2, OBC-NCL 0, EWS 1 | 8 |
| All eight codes | UR 27, SC 7, ST 10, OBC-NCL 4, EWS 3 | 51 |
No PwBD seat count is published anywhere in the notification. It says only that reservation for PwD and Ex-Servicemen follows the Government of India rules in force, and that at least 40% disability is needed to claim it — a certificate below 40% will be rejected. A tentative department-wise split for four post codes is in Annexure C of the PDF.
What is the Eligibility Criteria for NIT Agartala Non-Teaching Posts 2026?
NIT Agartala Non-Teaching Educational Qualification 2026
| Post | Essential Qualification |
|---|---|
| Technical Assistant | First Class or equivalent grade in B.E., B.Tech or MCA in the relevant subject, or a First Class Diploma in Engineering in the relevant field with an excellent academic record, or a First Class B.Sc., or an M.Sc. with at least 50% marks or equivalent grade |
| Junior Engineer (Civil or Electrical) | First Class B.E. or B.Tech in Civil or Electrical Engineering, or a First Class Diploma in the same branch with an excellent academic record |
| Library & Information Assistant | First Class Bachelor’s degree in Science, Arts or Commerce, plus a Bachelor’s degree in Library and Information Science |
| SAS Assistant | First Class Bachelor’s degree in Physical Education, plus a strong record of participation in sports and in drama, music, films, painting, photography or journalism event management, or other student or event management activities, during college or university studies |
| Pharmacist | 10+2 in Science, plus a First Class two-year diploma from a Pharmacy Council of India recognised institute with two years of hospital or pharmacy experience, or a B.Pharma degree; registration under the Pharmacy Act 1948 is compulsory |
| Senior Technician | 10+2 in Science with 60% marks, or 10+2 with 50% marks plus an ITI of one year or more in the appropriate trade, or 10th with 60% marks plus a two-year ITI, or a three-year Diploma in Engineering |
| Technician | The same four routes as Senior Technician, from a Government recognised board, polytechnic or institute |
| Lab Attendant | Senior Secondary (10+2) in Science from a recognised board |
| Every post, where First Class is not printed on the certificate | At least 6.5 CGPA on a 10-point scale or 60% marks in aggregate; your own institute’s CGPA-to-percentage conversion is not allowed, and where both a CGPA and a percentage appear only the CGPA is read |
A desirable qualification is not an essential one: the library-automation diploma, PGDCA or equivalent for Library & Information Assistant, and the Bachelor’s degree for Senior Technician, are preferences and not bars. Engineering and diploma holders should note that only the Pharmacist post asks for work experience, and even there the B.Pharma route needs none.

Take relaxation and you are considered only against the reserved seats of your own category.
What is the Salary for NIT Agartala Non-Teaching Posts 2026?
Pay follows the 7th CPC pay levels. The notification prints the level for each post plus the pre-revised scale from the Recruitment Rules 2019, but it does not print an entry basic pay in rupees, so treat the level itself as the figure to look up in the pay matrix.
| Pay Level | Posts at this Level |
|---|---|
| Pay Level 6 | Technical Assistant, Junior Engineer, Library & Information Assistant, SAS Assistant |
| Pay Level 5 | Pharmacist |
| Pay Level 4 | Senior Technician |
| Pay Level 3 | Technician |
| Pay Level 1 | Lab Attendant |
| Pay Level | Pre-revised Scale (RR 2019) |
|---|---|
| Level 6 | PB-2 ₹9,300 – 34,800, Grade Pay ₹4,200 |
| Level 5 | PB-1 ₹5,200 – 20,200, Grade Pay ₹2,800 |
| Level 4 | PB-1 ₹5,200 – 20,200, Grade Pay ₹2,400 |
| Level 3 | PB-1 ₹5,200 – 20,200, Grade Pay ₹2,000 |
| Level 1 | PB-1 ₹5,200 – 20,200, Grade Pay ₹1,800 |
The notification does not itemise DA, HRA or any other allowance, so we will not put an invented in-hand figure in front of you.
What is the Selection Process for NIT Agartala Non-Teaching Recruitment 2026?
Selection runs on a Computer Based Test. The notification records that under the DoPT Office Memorandum dated 29 December 2015, an interview is not conducted for any Group B or Group C post, and the final merit list is drawn solely on the CBT marks, subject to qualifying the prescribed skill test wherever one applies.
| Stage | What it involves |
|---|---|
| Computer Based Test | 100 marks, MCQ based, 60 minutes |
| Skill test | Only where prescribed for that post, and qualifying in nature |
| Document verification | Originals plus one self-attested set, with the application printout and fee receipt |
| Medical fitness | Examination before the District Medical Board after selection |
| Police verification | Carried out on the selected candidates |
| CBT Detail | What the Notification Says |
|---|---|
| Part I subjects | English, GK & Current Affairs, General Mental Ability and Numerical Ability |
| Whole paper | 100 marks, MCQ based, 60 minutes — the same for every post code |
| Tie-break order | More marks in Part A (the notification’s own wording), then the earlier date of birth on the matriculation certificate, then the institute’s decision |
The Part I and Part II split changes by post code.
| Post (Code) | Part I | Part II — Subject and Marks |
|---|---|---|
| Technical Assistant (1) | 20 | Syllabus of the department related to the concerned lab — 80; Part II has Group A, B and C and you pick one |
| Junior Engineer (2) | 20 | Civil or Electrical Engineering Examination — 80 |
| Library & Information Assistant (3) | 20 | Library Information Science Test — 80 |
| SAS Assistant (4) | 20 | Physical Education & Sports — 80 |
| Pharmacist (5) | 20 | Pharmacy — 80 |
| Senior Technician (6) | 20 | Science and Engineering — 80 |
| Technician (7) | 40 | Science and Engineering — 60 |
| Lab Attendant (8) | 100 — the whole paper | No Part II. Part I alone, and for this post it also covers Knowledge of Computer |
Annexure B of the PDF carries the full syllabus for each post. The notification does not state a marking scheme for wrong answers and publishes no qualifying or cut-off mark, so treat every question as one that counts. The CBT date, the venue and the admit card are still to be announced on the institute website. Start on the subject-wise syllabus and exam pattern early, because that split is not the same for every post.
What Can Get Your NIT Agartala Non-Teaching 2026 Application Rejected?
These are the clauses people skim past, and each one can end a candidature that was otherwise perfectly good.
| Condition | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| One application per post | Apply separately, with a separate fee, for each post code; more than one application for the same post is not allowed |
| Clashing exam slots | If the schedules of two post codes coincide, that is your own risk and no relief will be given |
| Fee not received | If the fee does not reach the institute, the application is summarily rejected and no later request is entertained |
| Category once chosen | Change of category is not allowed after submission; fail to upload a valid category certificate and you are treated as General |
| Caste certificate on the wrong list | Only the community certificate in the DoPT prescribed proforma is accepted as sufficient proof, and your caste must appear in the State-wise Central list of SCs, STs and OBCs |
| Photo ID at the centre | Carry an original photo identity proof to the exam centre, failing which you will not be allowed to appear |
| Originals at verification | Without original certificates the candidature is outrightly rejected at document verification, and no representation for relaxation is accepted |
| Serving employees | Bring an NOC from your employer to document verification, otherwise you will not be allowed to appear for it |
| Pending vigilance case | If you work in a government organisation, autonomous body, semi-government body, PSU, university or government educational institution and a vigilance, criminal or disciplinary case is pending against you, the application will not be considered or scrutinized |
| False or tampered papers | A wrong declaration, unfair means or a tampered document gets the candidature summarily cancelled or debarred at any stage, without prejudice to criminal action; if already appointed, you can be removed from service |
| Gadgets at the centre | A mobile phone, its accessories or any other electronic gadget at the exam centre — in use or switched off, on your person or not — is itself a ground for debarment |
| PwBD scribe and extra time | Compensatory time of 20 minutes per hour is allowed only to candidates registered for it in the application; those not registered are not allowed the concession, and the candidature is cancelled if the scribe answers independently |
| Error found later | If an inadvertent error in the selection process is detected at any stage, even after the offer letter is issued, the institute may modify, withdraw or cancel the whole or any part of it, and may rectify any such error or omission |
| Where updates appear | Every corrigendum, addendum and recruitment update is published on the institute website only, and no separate individual communication is sent |
| Email and mobile | Keep the e-mail ID and mobile number you enter active through the whole process; messages sent there are deemed to have been read by you |
| Convicted by a court | You should not have been convicted by any Court of Law |
| Admit card is not a clearance | The admit card is issued only on what you typed in the form; no application scrutiny or eligibility check happens at that stage, so an ineligible candidate can still be rejected later |
| Canvassing | Canvassing in any form, by you or on your behalf, leads to disqualification |
| Travel cost | No TA or DA is paid for attending the recruitment test or document verification |
| Post count may change | The number of posts may rise or fall, and the institute may decide to fill only some of them, or none |
| Closing date can move | The institute reserves the right to extend the closing date for receipt of applications, and to cancel the advertisement in whole or in part without assigning any reason |
How to Apply Online for NIT Agartala Non-Teaching Recruitment 2026?
This is an online-only recruitment. Clause 27 says a downloaded form submitted offline will not be accepted, and the notification gives no postal address for sending an application. No separate application portal is named in the PDF either — the apply link appears on the institute’s own website under the Recruitment tab, and only while the window is open.
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Open the NIT Agartala official website (link in Essential Links below) and go to the Recruitment tab |
| 2 | Open the online application link for this advertisement — live only from 10:00 AM on 20 September 2026 to 05:00 PM on 20 October 2026 |
| 3 | Fill the form for ONE post code, entering your name, father’s name and date of birth exactly as recorded on your matriculation or equivalent certificate |
| 4 | Upload a colour passport photograph taken within the last three months, clear front view, without cap, scarf or sunglasses |
| 5 | Upload every supporting document, duly self-attested, as a single PDF of 10 MB maximum |

| 7 | Submit, then print the submitted form with its fee details and save the e-receipt |
| 8 | Repeat the whole process, with a fresh fee, for any other post code you want |
