NIC Scientific / Technical Assistant A Online Form 2026

This page tracks NIC Scientific / Technical Assistant A Online Form 2026, a certificate verification schedule. The key figures are an application window closing 30 September 2026 and a fee of ₹800 for unreserved candidates. Everything below — dates, eligibility, fee and the official links — is set out in the order you will need it.

Applications open on 01 September 2026 and close on 30 September 2026, giving candidates 30 days to complete the process. The 30-day window is comfortable, though last-day traffic still causes portal failures every cycle — applying in the first half avoids it. The exam is currently shown for As per Schedule; treat this as provisional until the admit card confirms it.

The upper age limit for unreserved candidates is 30 years. On qualifications, the notification states: M.Sc./MS/MCA/B.E./B.Tech in Electronics, Electronics & Communication, Electronics & Telecommunication, Computer Science, Computer & Networking Security, Software System, Information Technology or Informatics with Valid GATE 2024/2025/2026 CS Score.

If your degree is an equivalent under a different name, look for the equivalence clause in the official PDF before paying the fee — a form rejected for a qualification mismatch is not usually refundable.

SC / ST / PH / Female is exempt from the application fee under this notification. All fee-paying categories are charged the same ₹800. Payment is accepted via debit card, credit card, net banking, and UPI. Pay only through the official portal linked on this page; the fee is normally non-refundable once the form is submitted.

Document verification is where otherwise-successful candidates most often fall out, usually over a missing category certificate or a name mismatch across documents. Assemble originals plus self-attested photocopies well before the date, and get any discrepancy in spelling or date of birth corrected in advance — it cannot be resolved on the day.
