UIIC Assistant Recruitment 2026: Overview

UIIC Assistant Notification 2026: When Will It Be Out?

The official notification PDF has not been released yet. Some reports expect it by 8 November 2026, so aspirants should check the UIIC website regularly. The PDF will contain the final vacancy count, state-wise and category-wise distribution, application dates, fee, age relaxation and the selection procedure.

The same reports suggest that the exam could be held in December 2026 or the first quarter of 2027. Treat these as tentative until UIIC confirms the schedule.

UIIC Assistant Vacancy 2026

Around 500 Assistant vacancies are expected this year. That would be a big jump from the last cycle, when UIIC announced 300 posts. Since the 2026 distribution is not out yet, the previous cycle gives a good idea of where most vacancies appear.

State-wise trend: where were most vacancies?

Kerala vacancies in the last cycle

Kerala had 30 of the 300 posts last time, making it the third-highest state. The split was 14 for Unreserved, 3 for SC, 1 for ST, 9 for OBC and 3 for EWS. Kerala aspirants can expect a similar number of openings, and likely more if the total rises to 500, but this will only be clear once UIIC publishes the state-wise table.

UIIC Assistant Selection Process

Selection has two stages:

2. Regional Language Test: candidates who qualify in the online exam are called for a test of the regional language of their chosen state. You must qualify in this test, but it is not counted for merit.

Shortlisted candidates are provisionally selected subject to medical fitness.
