AIIMS CDER ORO-PAL 2026 Interview — Five Project Vacancies

Official interview date: 30 November 2026. The two-page AIIMS–ICMR project advertisement of 11 November 2026 specifies shortlisting followed by interview for candidates applying to five named positions. It does not announce a written, computer-based, physical or practical examination. Only shortlisted applicants will receive interview time and venue by email. TA/DA is not payable. Appointment is tentatively expected on 1 December 2026, but the date remains approximate.

Which candidates are interviewed?

One vacancy is advertised for each of Scientist-III Medical, Scientist-I Medical, PTS-III, PTS-II and PTS-I. The main distinction during eligibility review is qualification + experience: Scientist-III requires BDS + MDS Public Health Dentistry and 3 post-qualification years; Scientist-I requires BDS and no experience; PTS-III offers either a 3-year Social Work/health-relevant graduate degree with 3 years experience OR an eligible postgraduate degree with no compulsory experience; PTS-II accepts 12th Science + Engineering Diploma + 5 years OR relevant CS/IT/BCA three-year degree + 2 years; PTS-I accepts 10th + MLT/DMLT/ITI diploma + 2 years OR a relevant three-year graduate degree + one year. These are official screening conditions, not a claimed interviewer scoring rubric.

What is the officially published syllabus or pattern?

No written-exam syllabus, interview topic-wise marks, negative marking, duration or qualifying percentage is specified in the notice. Its project title concerns oral-health services within tertiary-level palliative care and hybrid effectiveness/implementation research with economic evaluation. Applicants may expect discussions relevant to their stated qualification and experience, but the institute has NOT declared a mandatory interview topic list. Any formal schedule, reporting time or venue must come from the shortlist email.
