The vacancy figures are provisional. Candidates claiming reservation must meet the applicable conditions and produce valid supporting certificates when required.

Candidates should not automatically add all relaxations without checking the notification’s conditions.
Candidates applying for UIIC Administrative Officer – Generalist posts must possess a Graduate Degree or Postgraduate Degree in any discipline from a recognised university, subject to the conditions in the notification.

Eligible disciplines may include Engineering, Arts, Science, Commerce, Agriculture, Management and other recognised fields. Candidates must meet the prescribed minimum marks requirement in the relevant degree examination.
Candidates whose qualifying results were declared after the specified eligibility cut-off date should not assume they qualify. The date and other conditions in the detailed notification apply.
Hindi Officer candidates must possess a Master’s degree that meets one of the Hindi-English subject or medium combinations prescribed in the notification. A postgraduate degree alone is not sufficient unless the candidate also satisfies the specified language requirements.
The UIIC AO qualification routes include the following combinations:
The minimum required marks are 60% for applicable General/OBC/EWS candidates and 55% for SC/ST/PwBD candidates, subject to the exact conditions applicable under the recruitment notice. Working knowledge of computers is also required.
Candidates should compare their postgraduate and degree-level subject details with the UIIC AO notification before treating themselves as eligible.
The UIIC AO recruitment notification invites eligible Indian citizens to apply. Candidates must also comply with the conditions relating to reservation, educational qualification, category certificates and other declarations.
Applicants should select only the discipline for which they meet the prescribed criteria. The notification does not permit candidates to apply for both Generalist and Hindi Officer posts in the same recruitment cycle. Multiple applications or appearances may lead to cancellation of candidature.
The UIIC AO application fee depended on the candidate’s category and employment status. The deadline for paying the application fee or service charges was extended to 1 October 2026, and the application window is now closed.
| Category | Application fee or service charges |
| Applicants other than SC/ST/PwBD candidates and eligible permanent UIIC employees | ₹1,000 plus applicable GST |

Payment had to be made online through the available application portal payment options. Candidates were advised to retain the fee receipt and completed application form for future reference.
The fee or service charges are generally non-refundable under the stated recruitment conditions. Candidates should rely on the detailed UIIC AO notification for the exact fee exemption and payment rules applicable to their category.
The online application window for UIIC AO Recruitment 2026 closed on 1 October 2026. The following steps explain the application procedure used for this recruitment cycle and may help candidates understand their saved application records.
Candidates who successfully registered should not submit duplicate applications without checking the notification’s rules. A second application does not provide an additional opportunity to appear under both disciplines.
The UIIC AO selection process consists of a Preliminary Examination, a Main Examination with objective and descriptive components, and an Interview. The Main Examination and descriptive requirements differ between Generalists and Hindi Officers.
The UIIC AO Preliminary Examination is an online objective test common to both disciplines. It contains English Language, Reasoning and Quantitative Aptitude sections. Candidates must meet the applicable sectional and overall qualifying requirements to be considered for the next stage.
Preliminary marks are used for shortlisting and are not included in the final merit calculation.
Candidates who qualify the UIIC AO Preliminary Examination are considered for the Main Examination according to the recruitment rules. Generalists take objective papers covering English, Reasoning, Quantitative Aptitude, General Awareness with special reference to the financial sector, and Computer Knowledge.
Hindi Officer candidates take a different objective paper that includes Professional Knowledge. Their professional section places greater emphasis on the prescribed Hindi and English language requirements.
The UIIC AO descriptive test is conducted online and differs by discipline. Generalists complete an English descriptive paper involving letter writing and an essay. Hindi Officer candidates complete a descriptive paper involving English and Hindi essays, Hindi letter writing and translation in both directions.
The descriptive test must be completed according to the applicable qualifying requirements. Its marks are treated differently for final merit depending on the discipline.
Candidates who clear the required UIIC AO Main Examination stages may be shortlisted for an Interview. The number of candidates called for Interview depends on the recruitment rules and the relevant category and discipline.
Candidates must produce the required supporting documents when instructed, including proof of age, educational qualifications and category, wherever applicable.
The final selection uses a 75:25 weightage between the relevant UIIC AO Main Examination score and Interview marks. For Generalists, the Main Examination objective score and Interview are considered in this ratio; the Preliminary Examination and descriptive-test marks are not added to their final merit score. For Hindi Officers, the Main Examination objective and descriptive components are considered with the Interview under the prescribed 75:25 ratio. Preliminary marks are not counted in final merit.
The UIIC AO Preliminary Examination carries 100 marks and lasts 60 minutes. Both disciplines follow the same Preliminary Examination pattern, but the Main Examination has separate patterns for Generalists and Hindi Officers.
| Section | Questions | Marks | Duration |
| English Language | 30 | 30 | 20 minutes |
| Reasoning | 35 | 35 | 20 minutes |
| Quantitative Aptitude | 35 | 35 | 20 minutes |
| Total | 100 | 100 | 60 minutes |
The UIIC AO Preliminary Examination is divided into three separately timed sections. Candidates should plan their attempt with the 20-minute limit for each section in mind.
The UIIC AO Generalist Main Examination has an objective test worth 250 marks and a separate descriptive test worth 30 marks. The objective test contains 200 questions with separately allotted time for each section.
| Section | Questions | Marks | Duration |
| English Language | 40 | 50 | 30 minutes |
| Reasoning | 50 | 60 | 40 minutes |
| Quantitative Aptitude | 50 | 60 | 40 minutes |

| Component | Marks |
| Letter writing in English | 10 |

The UIIC AO Hindi Officer Main Examination has an objective test worth 200 marks, followed by a descriptive test worth 50 marks. The objective test has 150 questions and a total duration of 120 minutes.
| Section | Questions | Marks | Duration |
| English Language | 25 | 25 | 20 minutes |
| Reasoning | 25 | 25 | 30 minutes |
| Professional Knowledge | 50 | 100 | 50 minutes |

| Letter writing in Hindi | 10 |
| Translation from English to Hindi | 10 |
| Translation from Hindi to English | 10 |

The UIIC AO Hindi Officer descriptive test lasts 60 minutes. It assesses writing and translation skills across English and Hindi, so candidates should prepare for the prescribed language tasks as well as the objective Professional Knowledge section.
One-fourth of the marks assigned to a question is deducted for each incorrect answer in the UIIC AO objective examinations. There is no penalty for an unanswered question.
