NCMEI Deputation Recruitment 2026 — 20 Posts

NCMEI Deputation Recruitment — 20 Posts across 11 Designations

The National Commission for Minority Educational Institutions (NCMEI), New Delhi — a statutory body under the Ministry of Education — has invited applications on deputation for 20 posts across 11 designations, under Vacancy Circular No. 7-4/2026-MC dated 30 October 2026, issued by the Minority Cell, Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Education. Deputy Secretary, Senior Principal Private Secretary and Under Secretary are on deputation; Section Officer and below are on deputation including short-term contract. Deputation ordinarily does not exceed 5 years.

Last date — computed, please read

The circular says only that applications must reach within 60 days from the date of issue of the advertisement in Employment News / Rozgar Samachar. Two independent secondary sources compute this as 29 December 2026 (60 days from the circular date, 30 October 2026), and this post uses 29 December 2026 as the last date. The Employment News issue date itself was not established: if the Employment News issue ran later than 30 October, the true receipt deadline could be a few days later. Treat 29 December 2026 as the working deadline and check the Employment News issue if you can.

How this post was verified

The vacancy circular PDF mirror could not be read from our server. The post rests on a full transcription of the circular plus secondary consensus on the computed last date. The circular's existence and circulation are corroborated by a government host: CCRAS (Ministry of Ayush) republished the same advertisement on 09 November 2026, and the application proforma (Annexure II) is on ncmei.gov.in.

Posts and vacancies

Deputy Secretary 1, Senior Principal Private Secretary 1, Under Secretary 1, Section Officer 1, Private Secretary 5, Personal Assistant 5, Accountant 1, Librarian 1, Urdu Translator 1, Reader / Upper Division Clerk 1, Multi Tasking Staff 2 — total 20.

Who can apply

Eligibility is service-based only. Candidates must be holding an analogous post on a regular basis, or have the prescribed years of regular service in a specified pay band and grade pay (5, 6, 8 or 10 years depending on the post). For Deputy Secretary and Under Secretary only, qualifying service is relaxed by 2 years as a one-time measure under a Ministry of Education order dated 23 March 2026, and officers holding analogous posts in any cadre or department with quasi-judicial-body experience may also be considered. Only serving officers of government and public bodies can apply: for Deputy Secretary, Senior Principal Private Secretary and Under Secretary, Central Government officers only; for the other posts, Central and State Governments, UT administrations, Universities, recognised research institutions, PSUs, semi-government, statutory and autonomous organisations.

No minimum qualification, no age limit, no fee, no selection process stated

The circular specifies no minimum educational qualification, no age limit, no application fee and no selection process. All four points are stated plainly here rather than assumed.

Pay

Pay is in 6th CPC pay bands, with salary as per the corresponding 7th CPC scale: from Multi Tasking Staff (PB-1, Rs. 5,200 to Rs. 20,200, Grade Pay Rs. 1,800) up to Deputy Secretary and Senior Principal Private Secretary (PB-3, Rs. 15,600 to Rs. 39,100, Grade Pay Rs. 7,600). Because these are 6th CPC bands and not a monthly pay figure, no salary range is carried in the summary cards; the bands are given here in the body.
