SAI assistant recruitment 2026 is notification F. No. A-12026/1/2026-/2025-HO — Personnel Division / 683, dated 25 September 2026. Sports Authority of India wants 91 regular Assistants in Pay Matrix Level-6. The portal is open from 25 September 2026 to 15 October 2026, 5:00 pm. Apply only at sportsauthorityofindia.nic.in/saijobs. This is not a fresh exam. It uses the SSC Combined Graduate Level Examination 2025 public score list. Other open notices are on the Campus Reality recruitments board.

What this SAI assistant recruitment 2026 window is

Sports Authority of India is an autonomous body under the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports. It is registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860. Its work is sports development and training for international competition. This notice is a clerical Assistant hire at headquarters personnel division, file 683, mailed from hrd2.sai@gov.in at J N Stadium Complex, East Gate No. 10, Lodhi Road, CGO Complex. The notification does not print a station-wise posting list. Do not assume every seat is in Delhi.

SAI is calling only candidates whose names are in the SSC CGL Examination Public Disclosure List (PDL) 2025, inside a fixed ratio for each category against these 91 seats. The provisional shortlist is Annexure-I of this notification. If your name is not on that annexure, the portal is not for you.

Who should apply, and who should skip

• Apply only if Annexure-I lists you, and you still use the same email ID that SSC recorded for CGL 2025. Access is locked to that email.
• If the email changed or is dead, mail hrd2.sai@gov.in and itdivisionhq-sai@gov.in with the subject line exactly as printed: Updation of Email ID for the post of Assistant Application 2025.
• Skip if you only sat some other graduate exam. SSC CGL 2024 or a state PSC score is not this list.
• Skip if you had already turned 30 on 25 September 2026, unless a Government of India relaxation for SC, ST, OBC, PwBD or another eligible category still keeps you inside the limit.
• Skip if the bachelor degree was not complete as on 1 August 2025. That is the SSC CGLE 2025 essential-qualification cut-off printed on this notice.
• An invite to fill the form is not a job offer. SAI says offer letters follow merit and the number of seats, after para 5 eligibility.

Dates and fee

The category you filled on the SSC CGLE 2025 form is final for this hire. A later category change is not accepted here.

Educational qualifications

Selection stages

There is no new Tier-1 on this notice. SAI invites the ratio-shortlisted names. Applicants are arranged by SSC CGL 2025 marks. Offer of appointment goes by that merit, up to the vacancies, only if para 5 eligibility holds. Being asked to apply is not final acceptance. Offer letters come later. Campus Reality does not have a joining date. The notice does not print one.

Free official prep

Do not start a new test series for this window. The score is already public. Read the SSC CGL 2025 public disclosure notification that SAI cites, then match your name and email on Annexure-I. If the name is missing, this form will not create a seat.

How to apply

1. Download notification 683 from Sports Authority of India and check Annexure-I for your name and the email SSC stored.
2. Open sportsauthorityofindia.nic.in/saijobs with that email.
3. If the email is dead, write to hrd2.sai@gov.in and itdivisionhq-sai@gov.in before 15 October 2026, 5:00 pm, with the subject line printed above.
4. Submit only if the degree date and age rule in para 5 fit. Keep the SSC category as it was on the CGL form.
5. Save the acknowledgement. An offer, if any, is a later letter, not the submit screen.
