The National Testing Agency (NTA) has invited applications for the post of Librarian – Administration on a contractual basis at its headquarters in New Delhi. Two vacancies are available.

Candidates from the open market must have a bachelor's degree in Library Science or Library and Information Science and at least five years of library management experience. Retired government officials who served as a Librarian, Deputy Librarian, Assistant Librarian, Library and Information Officer or in an equivalent post are also eligible. The maximum age limit is 50 years for open market candidates and 62 years for retired officials.
Applications must be submitted by email to [email protected] within 15 days from the publication date of the advertisement. Shortlisted candidates may be called for an interview. The appointment is for an initial two-year term, extendable based on performance.
The two vacancies signal a targeted need at NTA headquarters rather than a large recruitment drive. Candidates must submit applications within 15 days, a tight window that favours applicants already tracking NTA notifications. The contractual, two-year term with no right to regular appointment reduces long-term job security but offers a clear entry point. Retired government officials up to age 62 widen the pool, though the selection process is opaque: shortlisting criteria are not detailed, and NTA reserves the right to cancel recruitment at any stage, leaving applicants with limited certainty. The next step is the 15-day deadline from the advertisement's publication.
