# UGC hires 6 contractual staff including translators and system officer 2026-11-02T09:31:27+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The University Grants Commission (UGC), New Delhi, has invited online applications for six contractual posts under Advertisement No. 46/2026: three Domain Professionals, one Senior Hindi Translator, one Junior Hindi Translator and one System Officer (Networking). Consolidated monthly pay ranges from Rs. 30,000 to Rs. 70,000, depending on the post. Applications are accepted online only, and only Indian nationals are eligible. The work is based at UGC offices in Delhi. Domain Professionals require a Master's degree with at least 60% marks, a PhD from a UGC-recognised university, and minimum one year of relevant experience. Senior Hindi Translator applicants need a post-graduate degree in Hindi, a translation diploma or certificate, and at least five years of translation experience in central or state government offices. Junior Hindi Translator applicants need three years of similar experience. The System Officer (Networking) post requires BE/B.Tech/M.Sc in computer science, CE or IT, or an MCA, with five years of networking experience. Age limits range from 40 to 58 years, varying by post. The last date is 21 days from the advertisement's publication, the official notice does not print a calendar date. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The recruitment drive is small, only six posts, and purely contractual, with consolidated pay that has no annual increment, pension or job security. The largest share of the vacancies goes to Domain Professionals (three of the six posts), reflecting the UGC’s current focus on specialised work in education policy and planning. The application timeline is open-ended: the notice gives a deadline of “21 days from the date of publication” but prints no calendar date, so applicants have to monitor the commission’s website for the start date. For the Senior and Junior Hindi Translator roles, the requirement of a Diploma or Certificate in Translation from a recognised higher education institution (HEI) may narrow the candidate pool, especially since the same educational bar applies to both senior and junior grades. ## Coverage - freejobalert.com Straight listing of vacancy details with no editorial framing This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
