University of Kashmir to Re-Advertise Technical Assistant Posts Due to Low Applications
The University of Kashmir has announced the re-advertisement of several Technical Assistant posts after receiving an insufficient number of eligible candidates in the earlier recruitment process. The decision has been notified through an official order issued by the Deputy Registrar (Recruitment) on January 9, 2026.
The posts were initially advertised under Advertisement Notice No. 01 of 2024 dated August 16, 2024. However, due to a lack of adequate eligible applicants, the University has now decided to re-advertise these positions to ensure fair competition and fill the vacancies across different departments and campuses.
Departments Where Posts Will Be Re-Advertised
The following Technical Assistant posts will be re-notified:
| S. No. | Department / Campus | Post Code & Reservation |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Biochemistry | PGD-BC-9 (UR: 1) |
| 2 | Botany | PGD-BO-9 (UR: 1) |
| 3 | Computer Science | PGD-CS-19 (Scheduled Caste: 01) |
| 4 | Home Science | PGD-HO-6 (UR: 1) |
| 5 | Kupwara Campus | KPU-KPU-2 (UR: 1) |
These posts are part of the Technical Assistant cadre in various academic and research departments of the University.
Why the Posts Are Being Re-Advertised
According to the official notification, the University did not receive a sufficient number of eligible candidates during the earlier recruitment drive. As a result, to ensure that the vacancies are filled through a transparent and competitive process, the University has decided to re-advertise the posts.
This move will allow more qualified candidates, especially those who may have missed the earlier notification, to apply for these government university jobs.
Good Opportunity for Job Seekers
The re-advertisement offers a fresh opportunity for candidates seeking Technical Assistant jobs in Jammu and Kashmir’s premier university. These posts are crucial for laboratory work, academic support, and research assistance in various science and technology departments.
Candidates with relevant qualifications in Biochemistry, Botany, Computer Science, Home Science, and allied fields should keep a close watch on the University’s recruitment portal for the upcoming detailed notification.

Applicants are advised to regularly visit the official website of the University of Kashmir for the re-advertisement notice, application dates, eligibility criteria, and online application links.
The official order has been issued under reference No. F/NT-TA-ReAdv/KU/26 dated 09-01-2026 by the Deputy Registrar (Recruitment).
