About Central University of Haryana

Central University of Haryana was established vide Act No. 25 (2009) of Parliament, with its campus at Mahendergarh, Haryana. As a Central University, it offers undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programmes across disciplines, and is now seeking senior administrative and audit officers to strengthen its financial administration, examination management, and internal audit functions.

Understanding the Three Distinct Roles

The Finance Officer and Controller of Examinations posts, both at the senior Level 14 Group A grade, share identical eligibility criteria centered on either extensive academic administrative experience (as a long-serving Associate Professor with educational administration exposure) or 15 years of administrative experience including 8 years as Deputy Registrar or equivalent. The Internal Audit Officer post, in contrast, is specifically a deputation-only position at Level 12, requiring candidates to currently hold an analogous post in AG/CAG offices or equivalent Audit & Accounts Service organizations, or substantial regular service in Central/State Government, University, or autonomous organization roles with relevant audit experience.

Why These Posts Are Marked as Anticipated Vacancies

Both the Finance Officer and Controller of Examinations posts are marked as anticipated vacancies, meaning they are expected to fall vacant either when the current incumbent’s fixed tenure concludes (20 December 2026 and 20 January 2027, respectively) or earlier if the post becomes vacant for any other reason. This is a standard practice for senior university administrative posts with fixed-tenure appointments, allowing the University to complete the lengthy selection process in advance so a new appointee can take over without an administrative gap when the incumbent’s term ends.

Final Word

Eligible candidates for Finance Officer, Controller of Examinations, or Internal Audit Officer at Central University of Haryana should apply online through the Samarth Portal before 07 October 2026, submitting a separate application for each post applied for.

A Note on the Deputation Route for Internal Audit Officer

Since the Internal Audit Officer post is specifically on deputation, interested candidates must currently be regularly employed in a position that qualifies under the notification’s criteria, such as the AG/CAG office or Central/State Government/University/autonomous organization roles at the specified experience levels, and will need their parent organization’s cooperation to route the application through proper channel along with APARs and Vigilance Clearance Certificate. Candidates should begin this coordination early given the additional documentation required for deputation-based applications.

What These Roles Involve at a Central University

The Finance Officer oversees the University’s overall financial administration, budgeting, and accounts, serving as a key advisor to the Vice Chancellor and Executive Council on financial matters. The Controller of Examinations is responsible for the conduct, security, and integrity of the University’s examination system across all its academic programmes, while the Internal Audit Officer independently reviews the University’s financial transactions and internal controls to ensure compliance with applicable rules and to safeguard against financial irregularities. Together, these three positions form a core part of the University’s senior administrative and financial governance structure.
