Age, experience and certificates

Age, qualifications and experience are counted on the closing date. SC/ST, Central-List OBC, PwBD, ex-servicemen and other specified concessions follow the Central Government orders adopted by DU. The general instructions also give a service-based concession of up to five years (or completed service, whichever is less) subject to at least three years’ regular service in the stated organizations, and separate provisions for DU/college contract, daily-wage or ad hoc staff (at least one year of service; project-based and outsourced staff excluded). Read the general instructions for individual cases.

OBC-NCL claims need the Central List and a certificate issued from 1 April 2026. EWS certificates must be issued on or after 1 April 2026 and by the closing date. PwBD claims need at least 40% relevant disability with a certificate. Government/PSU employees must give an NOC when required.

PwBD reservation is included within these totals, not additional: Senior Assistant – 1 LD and 1 HI; Assistant – 1 LD, 2 HI and 1 OBD (labels as printed in DU’s vacancy sheet). PwBD vacancies are open to applicants of any category. The University may change the vacancies, category or recruitment mode, or leave posts unfilled.

Fees are non-refundable. The fee exemption for earlier applicants is only a fee exemption; a fresh application is still required.

Extra examination time is provided for the specified disability groups. The preliminary qualifying cut-off is 50% of the average score of the top 5% of test-takers (top two if that group has fewer than two), with the stated SC/ST and PwBD relaxations – it is not a fixed 50% of maximum marks. Shortlisting is 30 candidates for one vacancy plus 15 for each additional vacancy, with candidates tied at the cut-off included.

A special provision gives up to 10 service marks in preliminary screening and final merit to the specified DU/college contract, ad hoc or temporary employees covered as on 25 March 2021. It does not apply to every current temporary employee.

1. Read all five official documents linked on the DU listing for Advt R&P/323/2026.
2. Check your experience, typing route (Assistant), category certificates and age on the closing date.
3. Use the online application link on that official listing once DU makes it available (scheduled from 23 October 2026). Do not use older DU application forms.
4. Pay the applicable fee online and save the submitted form and payment receipt.

Keep ready: degree certificate, experience letters showing post, pay level/equivalence, dates and employer, category/PwBD/EWS certificates within the stated dates, and an NOC if you are a Government/PSU employee.
