SMKV Bastar Peon Recruitment 2026

SMKV Bastar Peon Recruitment 2026: Overview

Shaheed Mahendra Karma Vishwavidyalaya (SMKV), Bastar — the state university based at Jagdalpur, Chhattisgarh — is filling Peon (Bhritya) posts through direct recruitment. These are regular Class IV non-teaching posts on the university's own establishment, and the drive is run under the university's non-teaching service recruitment rules (amended Regulation 91).

This advertisement is one of four non-teaching notices SMKV released on the same day, alongside separate notices for technical posts, the Assistant Grade-3 / Data Entry Operator / Store Keeper group and Laboratory Attendant. Each notice is a separate application, so check you are applying under the Peon advertisement. If you have passed Class 10 and hold a Chhattisgarh domicile, this is one of the most accessible permanent university jobs in the Bastar region.

The final merit list mixes a written test, a skill test and credit for daily-wage work at SMKV — a real advantage if you have already been working at the university on daily wages. The skill test itself is held on the Jagdalpur campus.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Domicile: Only permanent residents (mool niwasi) of Chhattisgarh can apply. You must show a Chhattisgarh domicile certificate issued by an authorised officer at document verification.
• Women and ex-servicemen: Some Unreserved and OBC posts are set aside for women, and one Unreserved post for ex-servicemen, as horizontal reservation within the category counts.
• Persons with disabilities: One post is reserved for persons with a benchmark disability — acid attack victims, dwarfism, leprosy-cured, one arm, one leg, or one arm and one leg. The State Medical Board checks your disability certificate at the time of appointment, as set out in Chhattisgarh Gazette No. 104 of 25 February 2026.
• Daily-wage experience: If you work at SMKV on daily wages and want the experience marks, you must bring your experience certificate to document verification.
• Government employees: You can apply directly, but you must also apply to your appointing authority for a No Objection Certificate and produce it at document verification.
• Dismissed employees: Anyone dismissed from State or Central Government service cannot be appointed.
• Probation: Selected candidates join on a three-year probation.
• Joining checks: You join only after a health fitness certificate from the District Hospital medical board and a clean character verification by the Superintendent of Police. You also sign an affidavit that no criminal case or police inquiry is pending against you.
• Vacancy changes: The university may increase or reduce the number of posts, and no claim is accepted on that basis.
• Cut-off for qualifications: Every qualification and certificate must be complete by the closing date; certificates dated later are not accepted.

Application Submission Notes

You apply only online. On www.smkvbastar.ac.in, go to Career → Recruitment Portal → Applicant Login → New Registration; your user ID and password arrive on your registered mobile number. Inside My Applications, pick this advertisement number and choose the Non Teaching Post option before you fill the form.

You upload your caste, domicile, education and experience certificates, plus a recent colour passport-size photo and signature between 30 KB and 100 KB. You also choose two districts as written-test centres from Bastar (Jagdalpur), Dantewada, Bijapur, Sukma, Kondagaon, Narayanpur, Kanker, Raipur, Bilaspur and Surguja (Ambikapur); the centre is allotted in one of them. The skill or practical test is held only on the university campus.

A short correction window opens right after the closing date, so you can fix mistakes yourself. If you switch from a reserved to the Unreserved category, you pay the fee difference; switching the other way gets no refund. Keep a printout of your submitted form.
