Controlling document: AIIMS Patna Vacancy Notice on Deputation No. FTS-15070(XVII)/Deputation/2026, dated 10 October 2026, issued from Phulwarisharif, Patna. This is Group A deputation, not direct recruitment, a contractual project vacancy, a graduate-entry examination or an open competition among private-sector candidates. The institute is requesting eligible officers already serving within designated government, university, statutory/autonomous, public-sector, R&D or other specified feeder bodies. The exact allowed feeder organisation differs by post. Eligible officers must have the relevant regular-grade/analogous-post status and any educational/experience conditions imposed on their chosen post.
Correct vacancy arithmetic: The notice lists 10 designation rows covering 11 positions. Senior Dietician (Assistant Food Manager) has two vacancies; each of the other nine has one. Do not inflate the number of distinct job profiles to 11 or present all 11 as the Superintending Engineer grade.
- Current service and parent employer: Most posts require an analogous regular post OR a stated duration of regular service at a specific pre-revised Grade Pay. A college degree without eligible regular service cannot establish deputation eligibility. In some posts, additional specialist experience and degrees also remain compulsory.
- Grade Pay is NOT interchangeable with years of service: A five-year period at Grade Pay ₹5,400 cannot be substituted for five years at ₹6,600/₹7,600. The Senior Analyst role adds 15 years of IT domain experience on top of its feeder-service eligibility. Hospital Architect gives CPWD applicants a specific priority, with alternative feeder sources considered only if suitable CPWD officers are absent.
- Actual route matters: Senior Dietician accepts designated M.Sc. nutrition/dietetics qualifications; Chief Librarian needs both an eligible Science Master’s and Library Science degree/equivalent diploma; CSSD Officer and Senior Procurement-cum-Stores Officer have no separate degree listed in their notice rows. Never fill those gaps with assumed MBA, diploma or nursing prerequisites.
- Proper-channel dossier: This is NOT a one-click form or an individual email application. Applications require the employer's forwarding, attestations and vigilance/integrity record. The advertisement expressly rejects advance copies and non-Speed/Registered Post methods.
The following amounts are published 7th CPC pay-matrix bands, not guaranteed take-home pay or an advertised fixed monthly stipend:
-
Superintending Engineer — 1 seat; Level 13, ₹123,100–₹215,900 pay matrix. Officers from the notified eligible government, university, statutory/autonomous, PSU or R&D bodies holding an analogous post; alternatively Executive Engineers with 5 years of regular service at Grade Pay ₹7,600; alternatively Executive Engineers with 10 years of regular service at Grade Pay ₹6,600. A graduate Civil Engineering qualification is independently essential. Decision point: The key qualification is not simply a B.E./B.Tech in Civil Engineering. A serving Executive Engineer must also satisfy one of the regular-service/pay-grade routes unless holding an analogous eligible post; five years at GP 6600 is insufficient because that branch requires ten.
-
Chief Librarian — 1 seat; Level 13, ₹123,100–₹215,900 pay matrix. Officer in an analogous regular post, or at least five years of regular service at Grade Pay ₹7,600, or at least five years at Grade Pay ₹6,600, in an eligible feeder organization. The advertised scientific Master’s and Library Science degree/equivalent diploma are additionally required. Master’s in Library Science and medical-librarianship training are desirable, not essential. Decision point: Two distinct educational credentials are compulsory: a Master’s in Science and a Library Science degree/equivalent diploma. Merely holding an MLIS does not by itself waive the Science Master’s in this notice; medical librarianship training is only desirable.
-
Senior Analyst (System Analyst) — 1 seat; Level 12, ₹78,800–₹209,200 pay matrix. Officer from a notified central/state/UT government, statutory or autonomous body holding an analogous regular post, or holding a regular post with Grade Pay ₹6,600 or above with five years of regular service at that grade; additionally M.E./M.Tech in Computer Science or Computer Engineering, OR Ph.D. in Computer Science, plus 15 years’ experience in IT systems, networking, hardware configuration or software programming in the government/statutory/autonomous environment identified in the notice. Decision point: The qualification screen has TWO separate service/experience tests: qualifying feeder-grade/analogous service and 15 years of specialist IT-systems experience. A software engineer with a suitable advanced degree but no eligible deputation parent organisation cannot treat this as an open-market vacancy.
-
Hospital Architect — 1 seat; Level 11, ₹67,700–₹208,700 pay matrix. Architects or equivalent-grade officers serving in CPWD with an Architecture degree and not less than five years’ experience in the line. The notice permits similar officers of other Central Government departments, Central autonomous/statutory bodies or PSUs to be considered ONLY if suitable CPWD officers are unavailable. Decision point: CPWD receives explicit first consideration. An otherwise-qualified architect employed by another Central Government body/PSU is not on an identical footing: the notice makes that feeder route contingent on non-availability of suitable CPWD officers.
-
Senior Procurement-cum-Stores Officer — 1 seat; Level 11, ₹67,700–₹208,700 pay matrix. Officer of a notified Central/State Government, UT Administration or Central statutory/autonomous body holding an analogous post OR with at least five years’ regular service in a Grade Pay ₹5,400 post and five years’ experience as a Stores Officer on a regular basis. The notice does not prescribe a separate formal degree for this role. Decision point: Do not invent a mandatory MBA, materials-management degree or supply-chain certificate. The controlling eligibility is feeder employment/grade and, for the alternative route, the regular Stores Officer experience condition.
-
Chief Medical Social Service Officer — 1 seat; Level 11, ₹67,700–₹208,700 pay matrix. Regular analogous officer, or officer with five years of regular service in a Grade Pay ₹5,400 post from the notified government, university, statutory/autonomous, PSU or R&D feeder bodies, AND M.A. Social Work or MSW AND at least five years in the field of medical social welfare with sound knowledge of medical and other government-run financial-aid schemes. Decision point: Generic NGO/community-work experience may not establish the required medical-social-welfare domain. The explicit reference to medical and government financial-aid schemes is a meaningful specialisation that employer experience certificates should substantiate.
-
CSSD Officer — 1 seat; Level 11, ₹67,700–₹208,700 pay matrix. Serving officer of Central/State Government or an autonomous/statutory organisation in an analogous regular post OR CSSD Supervisor with five years of regular service at Grade Pay ₹5,400 OR seven years at Grade Pay ₹4,600. No standalone formal degree is specified in this notification. Decision point: The CSSD feeder-route is grade-sensitive: five years at GP 5400 is one route and seven years at GP 4600 another. It would be incorrect to impose a generic CSSD diploma or require both five and seven years cumulatively.
-
Senior Dietician (Assistant Food Manager) — 2 seats; Level 10, ₹56,100–₹177,500 pay matrix. Officer of notified Central/State/UT Governments, universities, statutory/autonomous bodies or healthcare organisations holding an analogous regular post OR with three years’ regular service as a Dietician at Grade Pay ₹4,600; additionally must hold an M.Sc. in a specifically listed food/nutrition/dietetics discipline. Decision point: This is the ONLY designation with two vacancies (all nine other designations have one each). That explains why 10 job titles total 11 seats. Only M.Sc. specialisations listed in the notice are safely eligible; generic life-science Master’s should not be auto-qualified.
-
Chief Medical Record Officer — 1 seat; Level 10, ₹56,100–₹177,500 pay matrix. Officer of notified Central/State/UT governments, universities, statutory/autonomous or R&D bodies holding an analogous regular post OR with two years of regular service in Grade Pay ₹4,800 OR three years in Grade Pay ₹4,600 in the relevant field; AND a one-year degree in Medical Record Keeping AND demonstrated use of office applications, spreadsheets and presentations plus typing of 35 wpm English OR 30 wpm Hindi. Decision point: Typing is a specific skill threshold, not an announced written-test syllabus: 35 English words per minute OR 30 Hindi words per minute. A generic medical-record diploma should not automatically be equated with the notice’s one-year degree.
-
Supervising Medical Social Service Officer — 1 seat; Level 10, ₹56,100–₹177,500 pay matrix. Officer of a minimum-200-bed hospital under Central/State/UT Government, Central autonomous/statutory/local self-government body or PSU, holding an analogous regular post OR three years’ regular service in a post at Grade Pay ₹4,600 OR eight years’ regular service at Grade Pay ₹4,200; AND five years of relevant-field experience. No specific degree is prescribed in this row. Decision point: Unlike the Chief Medical Social Service Officer, this row does not expressly mandate MSW. It uniquely limits feeder institutions to hospitals of at least 200 beds and sets two different grade-pay durations; the five-year relevant-field experience is separate.
Pay-distribution arithmetic: Two posts are Level 13 (Superintending Engineer and Chief Librarian), one Level 12 (Senior Analyst), four Level 11 (Architect, Procurement/Stores, Chief Medical Social Service, CSSD), and four seats in Level 10 (Senior Dietician x2, Chief Medical Record Officer x1, Supervising Medical Social Service Officer x1). The post rows therefore total 2+1+4+4 = 11 seats.
The four-page controlling notice says completed applications must be received up to 45 days from the advertisement’s publication in Employment News. The PDF is dated 10 October 2026, but that date does not independently establish which Employment News issue carried it. Accordingly this article does not assert any calendar closing date or clock-time as officially verified. Check the relevant Employment News issue and AIIMS Patna's recruitment listing for an official last-date clarification. Because postal delivery and employer forwarding consume time, applicants should not wait until the final date to obtain the employer packet.
Posting versus receipt: Clause III describes the upper-age test as maximum 56 years on the last date of posting of the application; clause X uses last date for receipt of completed applications. Do not silently treat those different phrases as the same definitive date. Applicants near age 56 should seek written confirmation from the institute/parent cadre about the operative age cutoff.
- Use the actual Annexure-I from the same 10-page PDF; enter the chosen post and advertisement identifier. Attach recent passport photograph, dates of entry into service and retirement, education, post-wise eligibility comparison, full chronological service history showing regular pay grades, deputation history, current pay details, contact information and signed declaration.
- Attach latest salary slip and approximately 100-word experience-benefit note (Annexure-I column 23). In the employment table, enter pay band/grade pay attached to the REGULAR post. Personal ACP/MACP pay is recorded separately, not misrepresented as substantive grade.
- Route through the cadre-controlling/parent employer. The employer is required to certify personal particulars, qualifying service, vigilance/integrity and readiness to relieve the officer if selected; the application must include the last five years' CR/APAR dossiers, attested by an officer of Under-Secretary to Government of India rank or above.
- Vigilance Clearance is format-sensitive: The notice specifically requires Annexure-II and rejects vigilance certificates in other formats or with conditions; the dossier must state that no disciplinary/vigilance proceedings are pending or contemplated and include the applicable ten-year penalty declaration. Missing vigilance or attested APAR material is expressly disqualifying for consideration.
- Compare salary scales correctly: Officers in organisations not using Central Government pay scales must include a comparative pay scale chart certified by the parent Finance/Accounts department. Explain substantive grade and regular service; merely showing personal ACP/MACP uplift cannot replace a feeder-grade requirement.
- Dispatch the completed, employer-forwarded packet only by Speed Post or Registered Post to Recruitment Cell, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Phulwarisharif, Patna – 801507. Mark the envelope "Application for the Post of [POST] on Deputation Basis" and include advertisement details per checklist. The institute rejects other transmission modes and will not accept advance copies.
Official checklist attached to the notice
Before forwarding, reconcile all seven institutional checklist rows: (i) correctly superscribed envelope; (ii) completed Annexure-I; (iii) prescribed Annexure-II vigilance clearance; (iv) five years' duly attested APARs; (v) certified comparative pay chart when Central pay scales are not followed; (vi) short explanatory note from application item 23; (vii) latest salary slip. The employer also needs to complete requisite clearance/integrity/penalty statements. The same PDF provides the application proforma and employer certificates; an outside template is not an adequate replacement.
Upper age: 56 years, subject to the notice's unusual wording about the last date of posting of application. The PDF does not prescribe an independent lower age or quantified SC/ST/OBC age-relaxation schedule: do not invent 18/21 years or usual relaxation years. Tenure: three years on deputation, extendable to a maximum five years under DoPT guidelines; actual terms follow DoPT O.M. No. 2/6/2018-Estt. (Pay-II) dated 18 May 2018, as amended. Experience: only post-qualification experience counts. AIIMS Patna employees already in a direct line of promotion to the advertised post are excluded from applying. Vacancies are tentative.
Notification (confirmed): official vacancy notice is dated 10 October 2026. Application (specified): Annexure-I through proper employer channel, with Annexure-II and attested five-year APAR records; Speed/Registered Post only. Eligibility/cadre review (specified): employer attestations and AIIMS scrutiny of eligibility, service pay level, experience, vigilance clearance and submitted records. Selection/appointment (administrative next phase): any deputation selection and joining must follow AIIMS/DoPT instructions. The advertisement does not announce a written examination, exam pattern, official syllabus, exam centre, admit card, answer key, marks cutoff, merit publication date, interview date or a published result notice. Those will not be represented as present lifecycle records unless a specific subsequent official notice provides evidence.
Result awareness: A later selection order, interview call, rejection list or deputation appointment circular would be a later independently identifiable official lifecycle update to this same recruitment identity. Do not confuse the absence of exam data with an exam having been cancelled; none has been announced in this source. Unlike direct recruitment, an individual candidate's experience/salary and employer forwarding are central to the application.
The institute has separately named FTS-15070(XVIII)/Deputation/2026 and FTS-15070(XIX)/Deputation/2026 notices. This JSON covers ONLY XVII, whose official 10-row matrix totals 11 seats. Posts of XVIII or XIX cannot be merged into the XVII advertisement or the 11-seat headline merely because websites report the same provisional calendar deadline; each requires its own original official annexures and service rules.
This article is based on the official, scanned, ten-page AIIMS Patna PDF dated 10 October 2026: four pages of vacancy/service terms followed by Annexure-I, Annexure-II and printed checklist. All ten vacancy rows and four service-condition pages were inspected. The PDF does not itself fix a calendar end date, interview timetable or selection marks. Whenever a later official corrigendum changes the notice, retain this recruitment's source_key and slug and update it, rather than creating a second vacancy page. Sources and actions below link only to the institute's own domain, not news aggregators.
