Bhattadev University Recruitment 2026 is based on two separate official advertisements issued on 10 March 2026. One advertisement covers Junior Assistant, Accounts Assistant and Office Assistant (MTS), while the other covers Librarian, Assistant Librarian and Finance Officer. Taken together, these notices account for 11 vacancies at the university.
The most important update is the later official extension notice dated 17 April 2026. That notice extends the online submission deadline to 22 April 2026 and the offline hard-copy submission deadline to 29 April 2026 for both recruitment advertisements. So candidates should follow the extended schedule rather than the original dates printed in the first notices.
Applicants should also note that the process has two parts. The form is to be filled online through the Samarth recruitment portal, but supporting documents and hard copies still need to be sent to the Registrar's office. The qualification, age, fee and selection method vary by post, so it is important to match the correct post before applying.
Bhattadev University Recruitment 2026 Overview
This recruitment is being conducted by Bhattadev University through two separate official advertisements issued on the same date. One notice is for non-teaching support posts such as Junior Assistant, Accounts Assistant and Office Assistant (MTS). The second notice is for Librarian, Assistant Librarian and Finance Officer.
The topic is often described as a single 11-post recruitment because both advertisements run together on the university's recruitment page and share the same online application platform. Candidates should still read the post-specific advertisement for their exact eligibility and fee.

Eligibility for Junior Assistant, Accounts Assistant and Office Assistant
The first advertisement provides clear post-wise minimum qualifications for the three support posts. These are straightforward and should be checked carefully because the Office Assistant post has an upper qualification restriction.
| Post | Essential qualification |
|---|---|

| Accounts Assistant | Bachelor's degree in Commerce from a recognized university and minimum one-year Diploma in Computer Application from a recognized university or institution |

The same notice also says candidates must have proficiency in the local language.
Eligibility for Librarian, Assistant Librarian and Finance Officer
The second advertisement is for Librarian, Assistant Librarian and Finance Officer. For Librarian and Assistant Librarian, the official notice states that the minimum qualification and experience will be as per the UGC Regulations on Minimum Qualifications for Appointment of Teachers and Other Academic Staff in Universities and Colleges and Measures for the Maintenance of Standards in Higher Education, 2018.
For Finance Officer, the notice is more specific. It requires a Bachelor's degree from a recognized university along with at least 8 years of experience in Finance and Accounts in a university, government organization, public sector undertaking or research organization.
- Librarian: As per UGC Regulations, 2018
- Assistant Librarian: As per UGC Regulations, 2018

The Finance Officer notice also mentions desirable qualifications such as a professional qualification or master's degree in a relevant field, computer literacy, and knowledge of Tally or other relevant software.
Age Limit and Relaxation
The age rules are not identical across all posts. For Junior Assistant, Accounts Assistant and Office Assistant (MTS), the notice says candidates should be at least 18 years old and not more than 40 years old as on the last date of application.
For Finance Officer, the advertisement says the age should not exceed 55 years as on the last date of receipt of application. The Librarian and Assistant Librarian notice pages checked do not separately print a specific age cap in the same way as the non-teaching support post notice.
| Post group | Age rule |
|---|---|
| Junior Assistant, Accounts Assistant, Office Assistant (MTS) | 18 to 40 years |
| Finance Officer | Not exceeding 55 years |
For the non-teaching support posts, the notice allows relaxation of 5 years for SC/ST, 3 years for OBC/MOBC, 2 years for Ex-Servicemen and 10 years for PwD as per Assam Government guidelines. The university also states that there will be no upper age limit for its own regular employees applying under these advertisements.
Pay Scale and Service Terms
The pay varies sharply by post level. Support posts fall under lower state pay bands with grade pay, while Librarian and Assistant Librarian follow academic levels, and Finance Officer follows a higher administrative scale.
| Post | Pay scale |
|---|---|
| Junior Assistant | Rs. 14,000 to Rs. 49,000 plus Grade Pay Rs. 8,700 |
| Accounts Assistant | Rs. 14,000 to Rs. 49,000 plus Grade Pay Rs. 8,700 |

| Finance Officer | Rs. 30,000 to Rs. 1,10,000 plus Grade Pay Rs. 14,500 |
The Finance Officer advertisement additionally states that the term of office is 5 years and that reappointment may be possible under the relevant university provisions if conditions are satisfied.
Application Fee for Each Post
The fee is not the same for all 11 posts. It depends on which advertisement the candidate is applying under.
| Post group | General fee | SC/ST fee |
|---|---|---|
| Junior Assistant, Accounts Assistant, Office Assistant (MTS) | Rs. 1,000 | Rs. 500 |
| Librarian and Assistant Librarian | Rs. 3,000 | Rs. 1,500 |
| Finance Officer | Rs. 2,000 | Rs. 1,000 |
The notices say payment is to be made through the online payment gateway available in the portal, and proof of payment should be enclosed with the hard copy of the application.
How to Apply Online and Send Hard Copy
This recruitment uses the Samarth portal for online submission, but the process is not complete unless the hard copy and supporting documents reach the Registrar within the deadline. Candidates should treat both steps as mandatory.
- Open the official Samarth application portal linked by Bhattadev University.
- Select the relevant advertisement and complete the online application form carefully.
- Pay the required application fee online.
- Download and print the submitted form.
- Attach proof of payment and supporting documents.
- Send the hard copy to the Registrar, Bhattadev University, Bajali, Pathsala-781325, Assam before the applicable deadline.
For Junior Assistant, Accounts Assistant and Office Assistant, the notice asks for 2 sets of photocopies of the application and supporting documents. For Librarian, Assistant Librarian and Finance Officer, the notice asks for 3 sets.
The envelope should be superscribed with the name of the post applied for.
Selection Process and Important Conditions
The university has left room for screening and shortlisting at multiple stages. The support post advertisement says written tests may be conducted for shortlisting purposes, and only shortlisted candidates will be called for interview and or computer test wherever applicable.
For Librarian, Assistant Librarian and Finance Officer, the notice says only shortlisted candidates will be called for interview. Candidates will have to appear in the test, computer test or interview at their own cost as applicable to the post.
- Applying for more than one post requires separate applications and separate fees
- Late applications are liable to be rejected
- In-service candidates must apply through proper channel or submit a no objection certificate
- Original certificates will be verified at the interview and again at appointment or during service if required
- The university reserves the right to amend, withdraw, fill or not fill the posts
What Candidates Often Miss Before Applying
The most common mistake in this recruitment is assuming that an online form alone is enough. The official notices clearly require hard copy submission too, and the university later extended both the online and offline deadlines separately.
Another important point is that the Office Assistant (MTS) post does not allow higher qualification beyond Class 12. Candidates with graduation or higher qualifications should not apply for that post unless the university issues a separate clarification.
Applicants for Junior Assistant and Accounts Assistant should also make sure they have the required one-year Diploma in Computer Application, because the official advertisement lists it as an essential qualification rather than a preference.
