UDD Uttarakhand Recruitment 2026: Lead Consultant, GIS Planner, GIS Manager & GIS Technical Specialist Vacancies
The Urban Development Directorate (UDD), Government of Uttarakhand has invited applications for 14 contractual posts under its GIS Cell. The posts are Lead Consultant, GIS Planner, GIS Manager and GIS Technical Specialist, and the monthly remuneration runs from ₹40,000 to ₹80,000. If you hold a Master’s degree, MCA or M.Tech and have worked on GIS mapping, this is a good chance to work on a real state project in Uttarakhand.
This is an offline application: you must send your form by registered or speed post so it reaches UDD by 5:00 pm on 13 November 2026. Nothing is accepted in person or by email. Read the full article, because the annexure and the advertisement show different vacancy numbers for GIS Manager, and we explain that below.
What Are the Key Highlights of UDD Uttarakhand Recruitment 2026?
The GIS Cell is preparing a GIS-based property database and an electronic Property Tax Register, built on a door-to-door household survey. Posts sit in the State Mission Management Unit (SMMU) and the City Mission Management Unit (CMMU). All engagements are purely contractual and temporary.
This is not a regular government post with a pay scale. It is a project role, so think about whether a contract engagement that may continue up to the mission period suits your plans. For a GIS professional, though, the work on revenue maps, survey data and property tax mapping is solid experience for your CV.
