Jamia Millia Islamia Non-Teaching Selection 2026 — Examination and Skill Requirements

Scope of the announced selection process

Under Advertisement No. 01/2026-27 (NT), selection is based on performance in the written test, skill/trade test and/or interview as prescribed for the individual designation. The Assistant Registrar role expressly requires a Written Test and Interview. Other positions are governed by their separate recruitment rules. The notice does not provide a universal paper pattern, number of questions, subject-wise marks, negative marking, exam centre, exam date or admit card publication schedule. Candidates must check the university's official announcements and their registered email rather than assume a common test format.

Administrative and language/typing roles

Assistant Registrar: Master's degree (55%, where applicable subject to advertised relaxations), three years of specified Level-7 Section Officer service; written test and interview are expressly stated. Section Officer and Assistant have distinct office-service pathways and computer/noting/drafting requirements. UDC requires at least 35 wpm English typing or 30 wpm Hindi/Urdu typing. Hindi Typist requires 30 wpm Hindi; Urdu Typist requires 30 wpm Urdu. These are official eligibility skills — the PDF does not assign any particular typing test duration or marks.

Finance, land, engineering and trades

The land-record positions require Patwari/revenue-related training or experience as specifically notified. Finance positions require accounting/public-institution service, with a separate deputation structure for Internal Audit Officer. Civil engineering roles at Superintendent Engineer and Executive Engineer levels are deputation/tenure assignments, not general engineering fresh-graduate examinations. Electrician, Plumber, Carpenter, Mason, Wireman, Beldar and Mate each have different School/ITI/certificate/experience conditions; there is no common announced trade-test paper, practical timing or qualifying score for them.

Library, horticulture, hospital, dentistry, media and support roles

Professional Assistant has Library & Information Science degree/experience pathways and needs computer-applications knowledge. Horticulture positions use B.Sc./M.Sc. with the individual supervision/experience thresholds. Pharmacist and Store Keeper have B.Pharm plus three years’ qualifying hospital experience; Dresser and Medical Attendant require 10+2 Biology with two years in ward/OPD/OT; Chair Side Attendant has Senior Secondary and two years' relevant experience. Photographer requires recognised photography diploma and film-processing experience; Video Editor requires a relevant diploma and five years' specified editing experience; Caretaker, Cook and Sanitary Inspector each have designated occupational criteria. These published requirements help applicants assess suitability but are not an officially notified chapter-wise test syllabus.
