NSUT Group A Recruitment 2026: Campus Director and Assistant Registrar — 2 Vacancies

Netaji Subhas University of Technology (NSUT), Government of NCT of Delhi has advertised two distinctly different Group ‘A’ non-teaching officer appointments under Recruitment Notice No. NSUT/GROUP ‘A’/2026/04, listed on 10 November 2026. One Campus Director vacancy is reserved for OBC and is a three-year tenure appointment. One Assistant Registrar vacancy is unreserved and is a regular appointment. These are not interchangeable positions: a doctoral academic leadership record is essential for Campus Director; the Assistant Registrar route is a qualifying Master’s degree plus specified administrative/service experience.

The application is not complete merely because the online form and fee are submitted. Every applicant must confirm the final online submission after fee payment, then ensure that the signed hard copy with self-attested annexures reaches the Registrar, NSUT, by 30 December 2026, 5:00 PM. The online portal closes on 15 December 2026 (midnight, as worded in the notice). Candidates applying for both positions require separate online applications, separate fees and separate hard-copy submissions.

📌 Vacancies, status and 7th CPC pay

The number of vacancies may be increased, reduced or left unfilled at the University's discretion. These seats are attached to a single recruitment notice, but the academic eligibility and service benefits need to be checked post by post. NSUT has a main campus at Dwarka, East Campus at Geeta Colony and West Campus at Jaffarpur; selected officers may be posted or transferred between present or future NSUT campuses.

🥧 Advertised category distribution — two Group A vacancies

This chart shows advertised vacancy categories, not a general 50:50 reservation formula. The disability categories listed separately in the notice describe suitability for PwBD applicants; no additional PwBD seat count is advertised.

📊 Starting basic pay compared — Level 14 versus Level 10

The pay-matrix figures are basic pay, not confirmed take-home salaries. The Campus Director post states that pay may be protected as per rules for a person already drawing Level 15, and special allowance may be admissible under the cited regulations. This does not establish a universal additional allowance for every selected candidate. The Assistant Registrar post is covered by the University's stated New Pension Scheme (NPS) policy; Campus Director has an expressly time-limited three-year tenure.

🎓 Campus Director — doctoral leadership and research thresholds

The advertised Campus Director seat is OBC 1, maximum ordinary age 60 years. The applicant must satisfy the following together, not choose just one of them:

1. A PhD and First Class or equivalent in Engineering & Technology at either Bachelor’s OR Master’s level. The word either matters: the first-class condition can be met at one of those two levels; it is not advertised as a requirement for first class in both.
2. At least two successfully guided PhD scholars whose degrees have actually been awarded, as supervisor or co-supervisor. Merely registering scholars, supervising unfinished research or reporting submissions without degrees awarded does not meet the stated wording.
3. At least 10 research publications in SCI/SCIE/SSCI journals. The notice specifies the journal-indexed publication threshold; conference presentations cannot simply be counted as substitutes for those ten.
4. A total of 15 years’ teaching, research or industrial experience in regular scale, including 5 years at Professor level in regular scale in Engineering/Technology. The five years are within the required fifteen, not an additional five years producing a fabricated 20-year minimum.

Desirable: leadership qualities in academic administration and research. This desirable quality supports evaluation but is not a replacement for PhD guidance, journal publication or regular-scale experience.

Evidence that can decide eligibility: doctoral award certificate, documents showing first-class results at the applicable Engineering/Technology degree level, university confirmation for two PhD degrees awarded under the applicant's supervision/co-supervision, ten qualifying journal bibliographic records, detailed appointment/promotion/pay-scale orders and service certificates establishing both total regular-scale experience and the Professor-level component. A bare resume listing academic achievements without evidence can fail verification.

🏛️ Assistant Registrar — postgraduate qualification and Level 6 service

The one Assistant Registrar position is UR and regular, with normal maximum age 40 years. It requires a Master's degree with at least 55% marks or equivalent grade, and three years of relevant experience in at least Pay Level 6 (₹35,400–₹1,12,400) or an equivalent level in Central/State Government, local bodies, autonomous bodies, PSUs and comparable notified institutions.

The Level 6 reference is the level of the qualifying prior experience, not the salary of the new Assistant Registrar position. The appointment itself is in Level 10 (₹56,100–₹1,77,500). Experience certificates must show the actual designation, whether employment was regular/contract/ad hoc, dates of service and pay scale/remuneration; an unspecified three years of general office work cannot automatically be treated as qualifying Level 6 service.

NSUT will determine its shortlisting criteria; meeting minimum degrees and service conditions alone does not guarantee an interview. The notice specifies at least three candidates are to be called for interview for the Assistant Registrar post, subject to its recruitment process; it does not disclose a test paper, questions, marks, qualifying cutoff or interview weighting.

📊 Age limits and exact birth-date boundary

📊 Normal maximum age by advertised Group A post

The crucial date is 15 December 2026, the online application closing date. The published age table states that Campus Director applicants born before 15 December 1966 and Assistant Registrar applicants born before 15 December 1986 are not ordinarily eligible. A candidate born on the stated boundary date is not excluded by that wording. NSUT refers applicable age relaxations to DoPT guidelines, but the notice does not give a separate category-by-category age increment; do not assume a fixed relaxation without the applicable rule and supporting certificate. Class 10 (Matriculation) certificate is the specified age proof.

⚖️ OBC (Delhi) certificate rule: critical for the Director seat

Only Delhi-recognised OBC eligibility carries the advertised OBC reservation benefit. The University explicitly says that OBC (Outside Delhi) is not treated as OBC for this purpose. For the Campus Director's OBC vacancy, confirm that the community is covered by the cited Government of NCT of Delhi lists and that the valid non-creamy-layer certificate for financial year 2026–27 was issued between 1 April 2026 and 15 December 2026.

The notice provides two specific acceptable certificate situations:

A certificate naming an OBC community in another state's list by itself does not establish the Delhi reservation entitlement. The OBC declaration is fixed when applying: later category changes are not entertained. The notice requires the applicable category, NCL and PwBD certificates to be held by the closing date; missing original evidence at verification can cancel candidature.

The Assistant Registrar is one UR seat. Eligible applicants from reserved communities can compete for this unreserved post in accordance with the rules, but should not mistake UR for a reserved vacancy. The fee notice expressly states that SC/ST/PwBD candidates applying for a General-category post still pay the SC/ST/PwBD fee level.

♿ PwBD suitability is post-specific, not another vacancy count

The notice lists eligible types of benchmark disability against each post. Abbreviations are provided below so applicants can identify the exact category in their valid certificates; listed suitability is not a promise of reserved vacancies.

LV low vision; D deaf; HH hard of hearing; OA/BA/OL/BL/OAL specified upper/lower limb conditions; CP cerebral palsy; LC leprosy cured; Dw dwarfism; AAV acid-attack victims; SLD specific learning disability; MI mental illness; MD multiple disabilities. Candidates should cross-check their certificate's precise disability description against the University's classification, rather than treating any disability certificate as automatically covered for both posts.

💳 Application fee — pay and then confirm final submission

📊 Non-refundable total application fees by applicant category

These are the figures stated for each application. Paying once does not cover applications for both positions. SC/ST/PwBD candidates applying for a General-category seat are charged ₹1,000, as expressly clarified by NSUT. After paying, candidates must complete the final online submission confirmation—the University says that payment without final submission will not be entertained.

🗓️ Dates that must not be confused

No separate fee-payment deadline, correction window, written-test dates or interview dates appear in these nine pages. The phrase “midnight” is reproduced as in the advertisement rather than inventing a different clock cutoff.

✉️ Online application plus registered hard-copy process

1. Open the NSUT official Non-Teaching Recruitment page, find Recruitment Notice NSUT/Group ‘A’/2026/04, study the detailed advertisement and select the corresponding Apply Online link.
2. Fill the chosen post's form in capital letters, with correct category, address, mobile, valid email and accurate qualifications/experience. The online portal issues an Applicant ID. Keep the email valid through the recruitment process.
3. Pay the applicable non-refundable fee. Confirm final online submission after payment, and retain the submitted form and receipt/confirmation. No subsequent correction to category, gender or other application particulars is promised.
4. Print the completed application. Arrange self-attested certificate copies annexure-wise, number the pages and fill the checklist described in the notice. Claims not entered in the original online form are not considered merely because a supporting document is enclosed later.
5. Put the packet in an envelope marked “Application for the post of ______ in NSUT”. Also write the applicant's Name, Applicant ID, Category, Address and Mobile No., as the notice requires. Send it with enough delivery margin to arrive by 30 December 2026, 5 PM. NSUT expressly disclaims responsibility for postal delay.
6. If applying for both Campus Director and Assistant Registrar, submit two different online forms, two fees, and independently prepared hard-copy sets addressed to the Registrar.

Hard-copy destination:

The Registrar, Netaji Subhas University of Technology, Azad Hind Fauj Marg, Sector-3, Dwarka, New Delhi – 110078.

The notice does not establish a correction window. The online closing date is not a substitute for the hard-copy receipt deadline, and merely mailing a packet by 30 December does not meet a requirement for timely receipt.

📁 Annexure-by-annexure hard-copy checklist

The checklist occupies pages 7–9 of the detailed advertisement. Use the indicated sequence and record page ranges for each enclosure.

For experience, the University expressly asks for pay scale/remuneration, dates of service, designation, full-time/part-time status and regular/contract/ad-hoc type. For applicants already employed in relevant services, NOC may be filed with the application or produced in original at interview, but without the original NOC the applicant will not be allowed to attend. Keep original qualification, category and service documents ready for verification.

🎯 Selection: what is confirmed, what remains conditional

Interview is the selection method for both advertised posts. Before interview, NSUT may scrutinise degrees, regular-scale work and category evidence, and may establish shortlisting criteria. For Assistant Registrar only, where applications are numerous, the notice provides for an All-India open written competition for shortlisting. That possible test is not described as a confirmed examination with an announced date or question paper; no syllabus, subject distribution, marks, negative marking, qualifying score or admit-card release is given.

Candidates will be informed through email, official website and/or SMS about interview arrangements. NSUT has not committed to a date for the interview or to a particular written-test pattern. No TA/DA is payable for attending document verification or interview. Misstated qualifications, category or employment particulars can cause rejection even after shortlisting or appointment.

✅ Position-specific decision checks before spending the application fee

Campus Director: Do you have a PhD and documented First Class at the required Engineering/Technology degree level? Can you prove two completed PhDs awarded under your guidance, ten specified indexed journal papers, fifteen qualifying years on regular scale, including five at Professor level? Is your Delhi OBC/NCL eligibility supported under the two explicit documentary situations? If any one of those mandatory conditions fails, a distinguished research CV alone is not enough.

Assistant Registrar: Does your Master's meet 55% or equivalent grade? Can your certificates show three years of relevant duties at Level 6/equivalent or higher in a qualifying organisation? Is your date of birth within the advertised ordinary limit, and can you provide an original employer NOC if presently in service? If the University invokes written shortlisting, only its subsequent official notice can establish the question pattern and schedule.
