Government Jobs 28 September 2026: UPSC, DRDO PXE and SBI Recruitment Updates

Government Jobs 28 September 2026 brings together fresh recruitment notices that were active or newly announced around 26–27 September. This page focuses on what an applicant actually needs: authority, advertisement number, application window, qualification direction, deadline and the next action. MCQs and static-GK sections are deliberately omitted because they do not improve an operational recruitment notice.

1. UPSC Direct Recruitment 2026

The Union Public Service Commission has opened applications for direct recruitment to various posts in the Government of India under Advertisement No. 12/2026. The application window runs from 26 September to 16 October 2026, with online submission through the UPSC recruitment portal.

This is a direct-recruitment notice rather than a large common examination such as Civil Services or Engineering Services. Applicants should therefore read the individual post-wise eligibility conditions carefully instead of assuming a single common syllabus or age rule.

What to check before applying

  • Exact post title and department.
  • Essential educational qualification and any experience requirement.
  • Age limit as specified in the detailed advertisement.
  • Document formats, category certificates and experience proof where applicable.
  • Final application status after submission.

Official application: UPSC Online Recruitment Application portal. Also cross-check the detailed advertisement on UPSC.gov.in.

2. DRDO PXE Apprentice Recruitment 2026

Proof & Experimental Establishment (PXE), Balasore, under DRDO, has published Advertisement No. PXE/HRD/AT/01/2026-27 for engagement of apprentices under the Apprentices Act. The official DRDO page shows publication on 23 September 2026 and a closing date of 12 October 2026.

The vacancy mix is particularly relevant for recent engineering and diploma holders: the published distribution is 15 Graduate Apprentices and 35 Technician Apprentices, for a total of 50. This is an apprenticeship engagement, not a regular DRDO employee recruitment, so the notified apprenticeship conditions should be read in full.

Official notice and application form: DRDO PXE official recruitment page.

3. SBI Specialist Cadre Officer Recruitment: Wealth Management & Premier Banking

State Bank of India has extended registration for Specialist Cadre Officers on contract basis for Wealth Management & Premier Banking under Advertisement No. CRPD/SCO/2026-27/23. The current SBI careers page shows the extended last date as 5 October 2026.

This recruitment is aimed at role-specific professional profiles, not a general clerical or probationary-officer intake. The relevant advertisement should be read for post-wise eligibility, experience and compensation conditions before submission.

4. SBI Specialist Cadre Officer Recruitment: Advertisement 22

SBI is also showing a separate Specialist Cadre Officer on contract basis recruitment under Advertisement No. CRPD/SCO/2026-27/22. The application window is 16 September to 6 October 2026.

Applicants should not assume that Advertisement 22 and Advertisement 23 have identical posts or eligibility. Treat them as separate recruitments and download the relevant advertisement before applying.

What Applicants Should Do Today

  1. Prioritise closing dates: 5 October, 6 October, 12 October and 16 October should be in one tracker.
  2. Download the original PDF: the summary page is not a substitute for the notification.
  3. Match your qualification line-by-line: especially for direct recruitment and specialist posts.
  4. Complete the application early: avoid waiting for the final day when portals are under heavy load.
  5. Save proof: application number, submitted form, payment receipt and uploaded documents.
