HNBGU Group B Recruitment 2026 — Important Dates & Application Fee

Apply Online from 17 August to 16 September 2026 — No Hard Copy Required

So the notification was released on 07 August 2026. And the online application portal at hnbgunt.samarth.edu.in opens from 17 August 2026 and closes on 16 September 2026 at 6:00 PM. See, the eligibility cut-off date is the last date of online application — so your qualification, experience, and age are all determined as of 16 September 2026. No updates to qualification or experience will be entertained after this date. And one thing — you do not need to send any hard copies to the university. Everything is online through the SAMARTH portal. But make sure you apply before 6:00 PM on 16 September. Late applications will not be accepted. So don't wait till the last day — portal may get slow near the deadline.

Tip: Apply at least 3-4 days before the deadline. The SAMARTH portal may slow down near the last date. Keep your documents scanned and ready in JPG format before filling the form.

Application Fee — Rs. 1,000 for General, Rs. 500 for Reserved

The application fee is Rs. 1,000 for UR/OBC-NCL/EWS candidates and Rs. 500 for SC/ST/PwBD and Women applicants. Payment must be made online only — credit card, debit card, net banking, or UPI. And the fee is non-refundable under any circumstances. If you are applying for more than one post, you need separate applications and separate fee payment for each post. So think carefully before applying for multiple posts — each one costs you Rs. 500 or Rs. 1,000. Also, once the fee is paid, you cannot get it back even if you withdraw your application. So make sure you are eligible before paying.
