Check Your Eligibility (Age)
UP Anganwadi Worker Bharti 2026 is a district-wise rolling recruitment process, not one state-wide form with one universal closing date. District Programme Officers publish separate notices on the official UP vacancy portal. The vacancy count, project list, start date and last date therefore depend on the district PDF. The portal was read again on 26.09.2026. It lists 167 district notices, and only 15 of them, in 10 districts, are still open. Another 14 still carry an Active badge although their last date has gone by, some of them from 2025. Check the date, not the badge.
Districts still open on 26.09.2026, by closing date
Worker (आंगनवाड़ी कार्यकत्री) and Helper (सहायिका) notices are issued separately, and several districts have opened only one of the two. Soonest deadline first.
| District | Post and last date to apply |

| Fatehpur | Worker and Helper both, closing 27.09.2026. It read 17.09.2026 on 12.09.2026. |

| Kannauj | Helper only, closing 28.09.2026. |

| Hathras | Worker and Helper both, uploaded 23.09.2026 and closing 13.10.2026, the latest date. |
| District not listed | It has either closed or has not been notified yet. |
| District window length | Usually three weeks from upload to last date, as Hathras and Gorakhpur show. |
Note: Chitrakoot, Mathura, Azamgarh, Hamirpur, Banda, Balrampur and Amroha were open on 12.09.2026 and have all closed since. Gonda, Gorakhpur, Shahjahanpur and Hathras are new since then. Fatehpur and Amethi now show a later last date than the one the portal gave on 12.09.2026, so a district can stay open longer than its first notice said. There is no advance calendar, and a district can appear and close inside a month.

Note: The open notices are listed newest first, the same order the portal uses. Each notice PDF carries that district’s project-wise vacancy table and its own closing time, so read the one for your district before filling the form. The four closed district notices are kept so a candidate who applied can match the notice to their acknowledgement.

Steps to complete the application
- Open the official UP Anganwadi vacancy portal.
- Select the active district and read its notice PDF first.
- Confirm Worker versus Helper and the local residence condition.
- Enter personal and educational details from original certificates.
- Upload the documents requested by the selected district.
- Submit before that district’s deadline and save the acknowledgement.
- Monitor the same portal for provisional merit, objections and final selection.
The absence of one statewide deadline is the first thing applicants should understand. A state-level headline can remain online while individual district windows close. The selected district PDF, not an old article, controls the application deadline.
Local residence is a real eligibility condition. Rural notices can tie the post to a Gram Sabha and urban notices can tie it to a Ward. Living somewhere in Uttar Pradesh does not automatically make every district vacancy available.
Worker and Helper are separate posts. Check the exact title on the notice, vacancy table and application page. Do not choose a Helper form just because it appears beside a Worker update.
Read the project-wise table slowly. It identifies the Child Development Project and the local vacancy location. That information is more useful than a large undated statewide number.
Merit-based selection still needs clean documents. Keep education, residence, photograph and category files readable, and use the same spelling throughout the form.
Save the acknowledgement because district offices may publish provisional lists, objection notices and final lists separately.
