A number of unofficial job portals and social media pages have been circulating a figure of 27,890 total posts for a “Sachivalaya Vacancy 2026.” At the time of writing, no single official notification from a state Sachivalaya (state secretariat) or central department confirms this exact combined figure. This is common in Sarkari Naukri reporting — portals often add up vacancies from multiple separate, unrelated recruitment drives (different states, different departments, different years) to produce one large “combined” number that isn’t tied to a single official PDF.
To keep this guide useful and trustworthy, we’re doing two things:
- Explaining what “Sachivalaya Vacancy” actually covers, so you understand why the numbers vary so much by state and post type.
- Listing the actual confirmed 2026 Sachivalaya-related recruitment drives we could verify, so you can check which one applies to you and go straight to the correct official source.
We’ll update this article as soon as any single authority publishes an official 27,890-post notification.
What Does “Sachivalaya Vacancy” Mean?
“Sachivalaya” is the Hindi term for Secretariat — the administrative headquarters of a state or legislative government. Sachivalaya recruitment drives are run independently by different bodies, which is why vacancy numbers, posts, and eligibility criteria differ from state to state and even department to department within the same state. Common Sachivalaya recruitment categories include:
- Clerk / Junior Secretariat Assistant (JSA)
- Multi-Tasking Staff (MTS) / Peon
- Stenographer / Junior Stenographer
- Data Entry Operator (DEO)
- Personal Assistant (PA)
- Guard / Fireman (Vidhan Bhavan security staff)
- Officer Scale / Review Officer / Research Assistant (higher Group B/C posts)
Because each state (Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, etc.) and each wing (Vidhan Sabha, Vidhan Parishad, state Secretariat, or central departments like CSIR) issues its own separate notification, there is rarely one “national” Sachivalaya vacancy count. If you’ve seen a combined figure like 27,890, treat it as an unofficial estimate and confirm the real number from the specific notification relevant to your state.
