Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri National Sanskrit University, New Delhi, has released Advertisement No. 01/2026 for recruitment to various non-teaching posts by online mode. This is a central university recruitment, so candidates should rely on the official university notification for vacancy breakup, eligibility, fees, exam pattern and application instructions rather than short summaries elsewhere.
One point worth checking carefully is the total number of posts. Some summaries describe this recruitment as 33 vacancies, but the official university advertisement table adds up to 32 posts. For anyone applying, the official post-wise breakup in the PDF should be treated as the correct source.
If you are planning to apply, the key things to verify first are the post-wise educational qualification, whether experience is required for your post, the age limit, the fee category you fall under, and whether your post involves only a written test or a written test followed by a skill test or interview. This page organizes those details in a practical format so you can quickly decide which post matches your profile.
SLBSRSV Recruitment 2026 Overview
SLBSRSV has opened online recruitment for a wide range of university non-teaching posts under Advertisement No. 01/2026. The recruitment covers Group A, Group B and Group C posts, so the eligibility level ranges from 10th pass and ITI to bachelor's degree, master's degree and experience-based administrative roles.
The official notice is issued by Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri National Sanskrit University, a Central University located at B-4, Qutab Institutional Area, New Delhi-110016. Applications are to be submitted online through the university's Samarth recruitment portal only.
Candidates should also note that the official vacancy table in the PDF totals 32 posts. Since the user-facing summaries on some websites may say 33, it is safer to follow the post-wise count given in the university notification.

Selection Process and Exam Pattern
The official notice says the university will hold written test and interview for Deputy Registrar and Assistant Registrar. For Group B and Group C posts, the university will conduct a written test and the concerned skill test, wherever applicable.
The written test is to be a single paper containing objective-type and descriptive questions. It will carry 200 marks and include the following areas:
- Reasoning Ability
- Arithmetic
- General Knowledge
- Language proficiency in English and Hindi
- Domain knowledge of the concerned post
The minimum qualifying marks for the written test are 50%. The notice also says only candidates who qualify the written test with 50% marks will be called for the next stage, which may be an interview or skill test depending on the post.
Skill Test Requirements for Relevant Posts
Several posts require job-specific skills beyond the written exam. This is especially important for candidates applying to stenography and clerical roles.
| Post | Skill Requirement |
|---|---|
| Personal Assistant | Stenography in English or Hindi at 100 wpm; typing at 35/30 wpm; dictation 10 minutes; transcription 40 minutes in English or 55 minutes in Hindi |
| Stenographer | Stenography in English or Hindi at 80 wpm; typing at 35/30 wpm; dictation 10 minutes; transcription 50 minutes in English or 65 minutes in Hindi |
| Lower Division Clerk | English typing at 35 wpm or Hindi typing at 30 wpm, with computer proficiency |
The notice states that skill tests for Group B and C posts are qualifying in nature, and the minimum qualifying marks for the skill test are 50%.
Pay Level and Nature of Posts
The advertisement mentions pay levels under the applicable pay structure rather than fixed hand-in salary figures. Candidates should therefore read the post in terms of pay level and category of post.
| Post Group | Posts | Pay Level |
|---|---|---|
| Group A | Deputy Registrar, Assistant Registrar | Level 12 and Level 10 |
| Group B | Section Officer, Research-cum-Statistical Officer, Assistant Programmer, Assistant, Personal Assistant | Level 7, Level 6 |
| Group C | Laboratory Assistant, Stenographer, LDC, Staff Car Driver, Pump Operator, Library Attendant, Multi-Tasking Staff, Laboratory Attendant | Level 4, Level 2, Level 1 |
This structure is useful because the level gives a practical indication of seniority, responsibilities and the relative salary band attached to each post.
