CSU Non-Teaching Recruitment 2026 for 144 Posts: Apply via SAMARTH

Recruitment overview

Central Sanskrit University has invited applications for 144 non-teaching posts under Advertisement No. 02/2026. The recruitment covers direct recruitment posts, some deputation-linked posts, and posts attached to the headquarters, named campuses, specific centre locations, or wider university deployment.

The official notification makes it clear that candidates must apply through the SAMARTH recruitment link available on the CSU website. The post list includes senior administrative roles such as Registrar and Assistant Registrar, technical and engineering roles, clerical posts such as UDC and LDC, and support posts such as Driver, Library Attendant, Medical Attendant and MTS.

Important dates

The university later issued an extension notice and shifted the online deadline to 20 May 2026. All other terms and conditions of the recruitment were kept unchanged in that extension notice.

Post-wise vacancy list

This recruitment includes reservation categories, PwBD identification for selected posts, and Ex-Serviceman reservation in specified cases as shown in the detailed notification.

Eligibility and qualification range

The qualification standard changes sharply from post to post, so candidates should not rely on a single summary line. At the lower end, MTS allows 10th Pass or ITI. Driver requires 10th Pass plus a valid commercial driving licence and experience. Support and clerical posts may require 10+2, graduation, typing or computer skills, or specific certificate requirements.

At the upper end, Assistant Registrar requires a Master's degree with at least 55% marks. Registrar requires a Master's degree and substantial academic or administrative experience. System Analyst requires engineering or equivalent computer-related qualifications with programming experience. Nursing Officer has nursing-specific degree or diploma pathways with registration and experience conditions.

• Minimum qualification in the recruitment: 10th Pass or ITI for MTS
• Clerical and assistant-level posts generally move upward to 10+2, graduate or role-specific skill criteria
• Technical and professional posts require subject-specific qualifications
• Senior administrative posts require Master's level qualifications and experience

Age limit and pay level snapshot

The notification table gives age limits post-wise, with the main age reference shown against 16 April 2026 in the original table. The extension notice changed the application deadline but did not change other terms.

Candidates should still check the detailed notification carefully for relaxation, reservation-linked rules, deputation conditions and other category-specific provisions.

Application fee

The application fee has to be paid online only through the recruitment link. CSU has grouped the fee by pay level.

The fee is payable per post. If a candidate applies for more than one post, a separate application and separate fee are required for each post. The notification also states that fee once paid will not be refunded.

How to apply through SAMARTH

1. Go to the CSU recruitment page and open the SAMARTH recruitment link.
2. Register on the portal using your basic details.
3. Select the specific post you want to apply for.
4. Fill the online application form carefully with personal, academic, category and experience details as required for that post.
5. Upload clear scanned copies of the required documents.
6. Pay the application fee online for that post.
7. Submit the form and keep a copy of the submitted application.
8. Print the submitted form, sign it, attach self-attested supporting documents and send the hard copy by registered post within the prescribed timeline.

The CSU notification is explicit that online submission alone is not enough. Both stages must be completed properly.

Hard copy submission and postal address

After submitting the online application, the candidate must send a duly signed hard copy of the application along with self-attested copies of all supporting documents through registered post within 15 days from the last date of online application.

For the post of Registrar, the hard copy has to be addressed to: The Vice Chancellor, Central Sanskrit University, 56-57, Institutional Area, Janakpuri, New Delhi-110058.

For all other posts except Registrar, the hard copy has to be addressed to: The Registrar, Central Sanskrit University, 56-57, Institutional Area, Janakpuri, New Delhi-110058.

If either the online step or the hard copy step is missed, the application can be rejected.

Selection process and exam scheme

CSU has separately issued the scheme of examination and syllabus for these non-teaching posts. The detailed notification also states that eligible or provisionally eligible candidates will first undergo the written test, where applicable, and then the university will separately display the list for skill test or interview, depending on the post.

The exact pattern differs by post. For example, Assistant Registrar is through written test followed by interview. Lower Division Clerk is through written test followed by skill test. MTS is through objective written test followed by a qualifying trade test. Because of this variation, candidates should check the post-wise scheme instead of assuming one common pattern for all 144 posts.

• Written test is the first stage for applicable posts
• Skill test or interview comes later depending on the post
• CSU has already issued a separate syllabus and examination scheme document
• Exam date and admit card for this advertisement were not shown in the recruitment page listings available at the time of checking

Important compliance points before you apply

• Separate application and separate fee are required for each post.
• Upload clear and high-quality scanned copies while applying online.
• Send self-attested hard copies of the same documents later by registered post.
• Some posts are direct recruitment, some are deputation-linked, and some are direct failing which by deputation.
• Posts mapped to a specific campus or centre are meant to be filled accordingly.
• The notification states that transfer requests will not be entertained for a minimum 10-year lock-in period after appointment.
• For technical issues in online registration or submission, CSU has provided the support email support-recruitment@sanskrit.ac.in.

This recruitment is broad, but the application scrutiny is likely to be post-specific and document-heavy. Candidates should match their exact eligibility with the targeted post before paying the fee.
