The SahisarkariJobs.in Analyst's Take – Is This Recruitment for You?
This is a short-term contractual engagement at UGC’s Delhi offices. Domain Professional needs both a Master’s with 60% and a PhD plus relevant experience; the translator posts need specific Hindi-English graduation combinations and mandatory years of government translation work plus a 30 wpm Hindi typing test; System Officer needs a technical degree and five years of networking experience. The contract is initially one year with at most one further year of extension and carries no claim to regular employment.
Best fit: Candidates who already hold the exact printed qualifications and experience for one post, are within the post-specific age limit, and want a one-to-two-year full-time contractual role at UGC Delhi.
Skip if you need a permanent post, lack the mandatory experience years, or cannot meet the Hindi typing speed for the translator posts.
