UPSC Recruitment 2026 — 212 Posts, Apply Online by 02 Oct (All India)

Union Public Service Commission (UPSC), India's central recruiting body for Group A and Group B civil posts, has released UPSC Recruitment 2026 under Advertisement No. 11/2026 for 212 government job vacancies across seven distinct posts. This UPSC Recruitment 2026 notification covers Specialist Grade III Assistant Professor (Anatomy and General Medicine), Assistant Editor at the Indian Bureau of Mines, Specialist Grade II posts in Anaesthesiology and Paediatrics under NDMC, Assistant Public Prosecutor with the Govt. of NCT of Delhi, and Public Law Officer for the UT of Ladakh. UPSC recruitment by selection is highly sought after because it leads to permanent Group A and Group B central government positions with long-term career stability. Medical postgraduates, law graduates with bar experience, and journalism/mass communication graduates with relevant editing experience are eligible to apply, depending on the specific post. Selected candidates will serve at their respective postings — medical specialists at central government hospitals and NDMC, the Assistant Editor at the Indian Bureau of Mines in Nagpur, the Assistant Public Prosecutor within the Directorate of Prosecution in Delhi, and the Law Officer within the UT of Ladakh administration. The selection process for UPSC Recruitment 2026 (Advt 11/2026) is primarily interview-based since this is Recruitment by Selection, not a written civil services exam; UPSC may additionally hold a Recruitment Test where the number of applications is large enough to require shortlisting. The salary for these UPSC Recruitment 2026 posts ranges from Pay Level 7 (Rs. 44,900) up to Pay Level 11 with NPA (up to Rs. 2,08,700) per month under the 7th Pay Commission, with medical specialists earning the highest pay level plus Non-Practising Allowance, along with DA, HRA and Transport Allowance. The UPSC Recruitment 2026 online application for Advertisement No. 11/2026 is available at upsconline.nic.in from 12 September 2026. The last date to apply for most posts under this UPSC Recruitment 2026 drive is 02 October 2026 (1800 hrs), while the Public Law Officer post for the UT of Ladakh closes later, on 09 October 2026. The application fee is Rs. 25 for General/OBC/EWS male candidates, with women, SC, ST and PwBD candidates fully exempted from payment. Candidates must read the complete official UPSC Advertisement No. 11/2026 notification PDF at upsc.gov.in before applying, since eligibility, experience and headquarters details differ significantly across the seven posts on offer.
