Panjab University, Chandigarh, has released Panjab University Manager Recruitment 2026 for 4 posts — 2 Manager (Technology) and 2 Manager (Finance). This central government job is open to candidates up to 40 years of age holding a Master's degree in Natural or Agricultural Science/MVSc, or a Bachelor's degree in Engineering/Technology or Medicine with 4 years of relevant experience, or alternatively a Doctoral degree in Science/Engineering/Technology/Pharma/MD/MS. Selected Managers at Panjab University will oversee operations related to the university's incubation centre and pre-incubation centres, managing and coordinating various labs, with Manager (Finance) additionally expected to handle accounts, general administration, and book-keeping functions. Desirable skills include knowledge of the PFMS (Public Financial Management System) portal for both streams, and an MBA in Finance is desirable for the Manager (Finance) post specifically. The selection process for Panjab University Manager 2026 is conducted entirely through a walk-in interview, with no written examination. The salary for Panjab University Manager 2026 is ₹50,000 per month for both Manager (Technology) and Manager (Finance) posts.
