UGC Seeks 6 Specialists in 2026: Hindi Translation, Education and IT Roles

The University Grants Commission (UGC) has announced six contractual vacancies under Advertisement No. 46/2026, opening opportunities for experienced professionals in translation, education-related work and information technology.

The available positions include three Domain Professionals, one Senior Hindi Translator, one Junior Hindi Translator and one System Officer (Networking). Depending on the post, the monthly remuneration ranges from ₹30,000 to ₹70,000. All selected candidates will be required to work at the UGC office in New Delhi.

Unlike large-scale government recruitment drives, this notification is aimed at candidates with specialised qualifications and relevant work experience. Applicants should therefore look beyond the salary figures and carefully examine the requirements for each position.

The age limits are different, and some posts require several years of professional experience in government offices or technical fields. Another important point is that these are contractual appointments, not permanent government jobs.

The six vacancies are distributed across four categories. Domain Professionals account for three posts, while the Senior Hindi Translator, Junior Hindi Translator and System Officer (Networking) positions have one vacancy each. The monthly remuneration and maximum age limits are as follows:

• Domain Professional: 3 posts, ₹60,000–₹70,000, maximum age 45 years

• Senior Hindi Translator: 1 post, ₹50,000–₹70,000, maximum age 58 years

• Junior Hindi Translator: 1 post, ₹30,000–₹50,000, maximum age 50 years

• System Officer (Networking): 1 post, ₹35,000–₹45,000, maximum age 40 years

For the Domain Professional positions, applicants should have a postgraduate degree in Hindi with at least 60 per cent marks from a recognised university, along with a PhD qualification.

Relevant professional experience is also required. Candidates should have knowledge of education policy, teaching, education planning, management or administration, as well as good computer and communication skills.

The Senior Hindi Translator post requires postgraduate-level Hindi qualifications and the prescribed language combination at graduation level. Applicants must also possess a recognised diploma or certificate in Hindi-English translation.

At least five years of relevant translation experience in government offices, public sector organisations or other government institutions is required. Knowledge of Hindi Unicode and English typing, along with MS Word and Excel, is also expected.

For the Junior Hindi Translator vacancy, candidates should have postgraduate qualifications in Hindi and meet the prescribed language requirements. A recognised translation diploma or certificate is required, along with at least three years of experience in Hindi-English translation.

The System Officer (Networking) position is intended for candidates with technical qualifications such as B.E/ B.Tech in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or Information Technology, or an MCA qualification. Applicants should have at least five years of relevant experience in networking, LAN, WAN, network security, firewalls, TCP/IP and computer hardware management.

All appointments will initially be for one year. Based on the candidate's work performance and conduct, the contract may be extended for another year. The total engagement period will not exceed two years. Selected candidates will have to work at the UGC office in New Delhi.

Interested applicants should visit the official UGC website and look for the recruitment notification issued under Advertisement No. 46/2026. They should check the prescribed application procedure, complete the form with accurate personal and educational details, and submit the required certificates and experience documents.

The uploaded notice does not specify an application opening date or closing deadline, so candidates should check the official notification for the latest schedule.

These six positions offer a specialised opportunity for experienced Hindi language professionals, education experts and networking specialists. Applicants should confirm that their qualifications and work experience match the relevant post before submitting an application.
