Delhi University Non-Teaching Recruitment 2026 currently has three major University-level recruitment advertisements open for applications, covering a combined 344 administrative and professional vacancies. The University of Delhi has notified Senior Assistant, Assistant, Junior Hindi Translator and Legal Assistant positions under R&P/323/2026, R&P/325/2026 and R&P/326/2026. These are different advertisements, with different closing dates, eligibility rules and reservation tables. Candidates must check the advertisement number before submitting an application.
Of the 344 vacancies in these three notices, 295 are Assistant positions (80 in Advertisement 323 and 215 additional posts in Advertisement 325), 46 are Senior Assistant positions, two are Junior Hindi Translator positions, and one is a Legal Assistant position. The earliest published closing date is 9 November 2026 for advertisement 323; the later notices list 19 and 20 November respectively. Each advertisement also contains wording that may allow a later deadline if its Employment News publication makes that applicable.
Scope of this guide: This article covers the three currently open central University of Delhi non-teaching direct-recruitment advertisements listed above, as checked on 31 October 2026. It does not combine expired college advertisements, separate short-term research-project engagements or the University’s TGT/Primary Teacher recruitment (Advertisement 324), because those are different kinds of opportunity.
