JNU Non-Teaching Recruitment 2026

About This Recruitment

JNU Non-Teaching Recruitment 2026 is a university recruitment drive for administrative, library, engineering, technical, laboratory, hostel, office support and other non-teaching posts. The notification covers Group A, Group B and Group C posts with different pay levels, qualifications, experience requirements and selection stages.

The recruitment is useful for candidates from a wide range of backgrounds. Graduates can check posts such as Junior Assistant, Assistant, Stenographer and administrative roles, while candidates with technical, library science, engineering, hotel management, laboratory, trade or 10th/12th level qualifications can check post-wise eligibility carefully.

Because the notification contains 35 different post names, candidates should not rely on one common qualification for all posts. Read the post-wise eligibility, age, fee and exam scheme before filling the online form. Applicants can apply for more than one post if eligible, but the advertisement states that a separate fee is required for each post.
