NIC Scientific/Technical Assistant-A Recruitment 2026: 376 Posts, Apply Online

NIC is recruiting Scientific/Technical Assistant-A, Group B (S&T), Non-Gazetted personnel through Advertisement NIC/STA/2026/2 . This page covers all three disciplines in one place; it is not the separate NIC Scientist-B recruitment.

एनआईसी भर्ती 2026: संबंधित डिग्री के साथ सही GATE paper का valid score जरूरी है। केवल GATE qualify करना या केवल engineering degree होना, अपने-आप इस भर्ती की पूरी eligibility नहीं बनाता।

Do not assume the portal remains open until midnight. Complete the form, required payment and confirmation download before the stated 5:30 PM closing time. Clause 9.2 says the eligibility cutoff remains 30 September 2026 even if the application deadline is extended later.

NIC भर्ती की अंतिम तिथि: 30 सितंबर 2026, शाम 5:30 बजे । सिर्फ registration करके छोड़ना पर्याप्त नहीं है; application के सभी जरूरी steps पूरे होने चाहिए।

The detailed advertisement divides the 376 tentative vacancies between Computer Sciences & IT, Electronics & Communication, and Data Science & AI. Reservation figures below follow the detailed notification, not an older short-notice table.

These 19 PwBD reservations are horizontal and are included in the 376 posts , not extra vacancies. The CS multiple-disability figure includes 3 PH-MD backlog posts . Multiple disabilities are identified from the notified locomotor/hearing categories, excluding deaf-blindness.

Check the exact disability suitability codes in the vacancy table before applying. The locomotor categories include the notified OA, OL, BL and OAL conditions and listed associated conditions; a disability certificate alone does not establish suitability for every post. Vacancy numbers may change as stated in the notice.

Candidates must have passed M.Sc., MS, MCA, B.E. or B.Tech. in one of the following notified fields, individually or in combination:

The essential qualification must be completed by 30 September 2026 . The advertisement does not accept claims of equivalence to its specified qualifications. Match the actual degree and specialization printed on your documents; do not rely only on a similar course name.

MCA candidates can apply when their qualification and corresponding GATE score meet the notification. A BCA or B.Sc. alone is not among the listed essential degrees. The qualification table does not prescribe a separate 60% cutoff; do not import minimum marks from another NIC recruitment.

For distance/open-university qualifications, the notice applies its stated recognition conditions, including the applicable DEC/AICTE recognition requirements. Read the qualification notes if this applies to your degree.

Use a valid score in the corresponding paper , together with the prescribed academic qualification. If you hold more than one eligible score for a discipline, provide your best valid score as directed in the application instructions. The three accepted GATE years receive equal weightage for merit preparation.

Important for DA applicants: a DA GATE score does not replace the degree requirement. The table of essential qualifications does not separately list every degree named “Data Science” or “Artificial Intelligence,” and equivalence claims are not accepted. Check your exact qualification against the official list before paying.

बिना GATE NIC में आवेदन कर सकते हैं? इस Scientific/Technical Assistant-A notification के लिए संबंधित paper का valid GATE 2024/2025/2026 score जरूरी है । Freshers eligible हो सकते हैं, क्योंकि experience required नहीं है, लेकिन degree और GATE दोनों conditions पूरी होनी चाहिए।

Clause 9.1 covers Indian citizens and specified eligible categories involving Nepal, Bhutan, certain Tibetan refugees and persons of Indian origin from listed countries. Where required, a Government of India eligibility certificate is necessary. Applicants using a category other than Indian citizenship should read that clause in full rather than assuming citizenship conditions are identical for everyone.

Age is calculated as on 30 September 2026 . The notification gives upper-age limits; do not assume an unstated minimum age from another recruitment.

SC/ST/OBC age relaxation applies to posts reserved for the respective category. The government-service relaxation is subject to the notified same/allied-cadre and relevant-service conditions; it is not an automatic benefit for every public-sector employee.

PwBD age relaxation is subject to the post being identified as suitable and the notice's conditions, including where the vacancy is not separately reserved for PwBD. Keep the relevant certificate ready to substantiate the relaxation claimed.

The fee is non-refundable . Applicable bank or transaction charges are additional. Payment is online through the permitted payment methods; cash, demand draft, cheque and challan are not accepted.

If you are eligible for more than one discipline through the corresponding GATE papers, the notification requires payment for each applied discipline , unless you qualify for fee exemption. One ₹800 payment should not be treated as covering all disciplines.

महिला उम्मीदवारों की फीस शून्य है , चाहे category UR, OBC या EWS हो। Form में category और exemption details सही भरें; final submission के बाद बदलाव का भरोसा न रखें।

The Scientific/Technical Assistant-A post carries Pay Matrix Level 6: ₹35,400–₹1,12,400 . This is the notified basic-pay scale , not a guaranteed monthly in-hand salary. Actual take-home pay depends on applicable allowances, deductions and posting conditions; the advertisement does not give a fixed in-hand figure.

The post is Group B, Scientific & Technical, Non-Gazetted . Selected candidates may be posted anywhere in India and outside India in organizational interest. Do not assume a home-state posting or a particular NIC office is guaranteed.

For other suitable opportunities, browse Central Government jobs and full-time government jobs . Check each notification independently; a common pay level does not mean common eligibility.

The process is registration for this NIC recruitment → discipline/category-wise GATE-score merit → document verification . Possessing a GATE score without submitting the NIC application does not enter you into this recruitment.

The detailed notice does not prescribe a separate NIC written examination or interview for these posts. Do not prepare from an older NIC STA exam-pattern article as though it describes this advertisement.

Only eligible applicants registered for this notification are considered. Merit is based on the accepted GATE score in the relevant discipline, with equal weightage to the 2024, 2025 and 2026 examinations. GATE qualifying marks and NIC selection cutoffs are not the same thing. No final discipline/category-wise selection cutoff is announced in the notification.

If GATE scores are equal, NIC applies these preferences in order:

Use the university's official percentage-conversion method when your marks are in CGPA. A general calculator cannot replace the prescribed university/Registrar evidence. If the university does not provide a conversion formula, the notice calls for the relevant Registrar certificate.

Document verification may be held in Delhi or another location/mode approved by the competent authority . Candidates must attend as instructed and produce the required originals. Requests to change/postpone the allotted schedule or location are not entertained under the notice, and no TA/DA is payable for attending verification.

Do not assume you can supply missing originals later. The notice does not allow additional time for producing the required documents, and failure to appear at the instructed date/time/place can lead to rejection. Watch the official recruitment website for the schedule and further instructions.

Prepare readable scans before beginning the form. Match names, date of birth, category, degree details and GATE particulars across the application and supporting documents.

Documents specified in the application instructions include:

Use the photo and signature resizer to prepare image dimensions/file sizes, then check that the result remains clear and meets the portal's format limits. The marks percentage calculator can help you cross-check arithmetic. For CGPA, use the CGPA-to-percentage calculator only with your institution's applicable conversion rule.

At document verification, carry the prescribed authorization/call letter, original certificates, photo identification including the required Aadhaar/other ID documents, and a passport-size photograph as instructed. A Gazette notification is relevant where a name change must be established. If the final degree certificate has not been issued, follow the notice's provision for a provisional pass certificate and evidence of the result-declaration date.

फॉर्म भरने से पहले: OBC-NCL और EWS certificate की सिर्फ category नहीं, उसका format, relevant financial year और validity भी मिलाएँ। गलत certificate को सही मानकर fee जमा न करें।

Complete the application through the Scientific/Technical Assistant-A Recruitment 2026 link on NIC's official recruitment website. The same website also carries other recruitments, so check the post name and advertisement before registration.

For technical difficulty with online submission or downloading documents, the notification gives helpdesk-nic@nic.in . Mention the advertisement in the subject and the application ID where available. The helpdesk is not intended for eligibility or posting-location queries; NIC directs candidates to the published conditions for those matters.

Use the prescribed annexure where applicable; these are links into the same official detailed notification, not separate application forms.

The official deadline is 30 September 2026 at 5:30 PM . Registration, form completion, applicable payment and confirmation must be completed within the notified window; midnight is not the stated closing time.

There are 376 tentative posts : 300 in Computer Sciences & IT, 26 in Electronics & Communication and 50 in Data Science & AI. PwBD reservations are included horizontally, not added to this total.

No. This notification requires a valid corresponding GATE 2024, 2025 or 2026 score , together with the specified degree. The accepted papers are CS, EC and DA for their respective disciplines.

The detailed advertisement specifies GATE-score merit and document verification , not a separate NIC written examination or interview. This should not be confused with an older NIC recruitment pattern.

Experience is not required, so freshers can apply if all other conditions are met. MCA is among the notified degrees, but a valid corresponding GATE score and the remaining eligibility conditions are still necessary.

The essential qualification must be acquired by 30 September 2026 . Do not treat a pending result after that cutoff as eligible. The result-declaration and pass-certificate evidence must meet the notification's requirements.

All women candidates are exempt , regardless of category. SC/ST/PwBD applicants are also exempt. Other UR/OBC-NCL/EWS candidates pay ₹800 per discipline, plus applicable transaction charges.

You must meet the degree and corresponding GATE-paper requirements for each discipline. The notification provides for fee payment for each applied discipline, subject to the stated exemptions; a single score in the wrong paper is not sufficient.

Preference is given first to the earlier GATE year, then to the older candidate if the year is also the same, and finally to the higher percentage in the essential qualification if the tie remains.

No. ₹35,400–₹1,12,400 is the basic-pay scale . Allowances, deductions and posting conditions affect take-home pay; a fixed in-hand amount is not specified in the notice.

निर्धारित M.Sc./MS/MCA/B.E./B.Tech. qualification, संबंधित CS/EC/DA GATE score और age/category conditions पूरी करने वाले candidates आवेदन कर सकते हैं। सभी engineering branches को अपने-आप eligible न मानें; notified subjects की सूची देखें।

इस notification में final submission के बाद application particulars बदलने की अनुमति नहीं दी गई है और कोई अलग correction window घोषित नहीं है। Submit करने से पहले नाम, category, GATE details और uploaded documents ध्यान से जाँचें।
