📊 All nine role-wise vacancy pools
| Advertised programme post | Vacancies |
|---|---|
| Multi Rehabilitation Worker (NPHCE) | 6 |
| Staff Nurse (NUHM / 15th Finance Commission) | 12 |
| Community Health Assistant (U-HWC / NUHM) | 10 |

| Block Programme Coordinator (ASHA) | 2 |
The largest two groups are Staff Nurse (12) and Community Health Assistant (10), collectively 22 of the 47 posts. All three GDMO programme pools add up to 15 posts, but their advertised programme and reservation labels must remain separate.
📊 Official vertical reservation: 47 positions
| Vertical category | Vacancies |
|---|---|
| UR | 27 |
| SC | 10 |
| ST | 2 |
| OBC | 3 |
| EWS | 5 |
The notice labels some seats EC and one MRW seat UR (PwBD). These are annotations within the vertical totals shown above, not another 13 or more posts to add. The printed recruitment also contains a roster-policy reference subject to pending legal proceedings; the authority’s subsequent notices govern any valid change.
📊 Official base consolidated remuneration, by role
| Advertised role | Monthly amount (₹) |
|---|---|
| Multi Rehabilitation Worker (NPHCE) | 18000 |
| Staff Nurse (NUHM / 15th Finance Commission) | 25000 |
| Community Health Assistant (U-HWC / NUHM) | 13000 |
| TB Health Visitor (NTEP) | 18000 |
| Senior Treatment Laboratory Supervisor (NTEP) | 25000 |
| Medical Officer GDMO — NHM First Referral Unit (FRU) | 60000 |
| Medical Officer GDMO — Rashtriya Kishor Swasthya Karyakram (RKSK) | 60000 |
| Medical Officer GDMO — NUHM / 15th Finance Commission | 60000 |
| Block Programme Coordinator (ASHA) | 15000 |
These are consolidated programme payments, not Government Pay Matrix scales. The Block Programme Coordinator additionally mentions mobility support up to ₹1,800 per month, contingent on the applicable scheme provisions; it is not built into the ₹15,000 base chart.
| Role | Must establish before applying |
|---|---|
| Multi Rehabilitation Worker | Physiotherapy bachelor + at least 2 years in hospital; postgraduate physiotherapy desirable |
| Staff Nurse | GNM from recognised body + WBNC registration or provisional WBNC certificate |
| Community Health Assistant | Women only, ANM or GNM, WBNC registration and permanent Birbhum district residence |
| TB Health Visitor | Science graduation + 1 completed year as MPW/LHV/ANM/health worker + ≥2-month computer-operations certificate |
| Senior Treatment Laboratory Supervisor | Graduation with DMLT or BMLT; permanent two-wheeler licence and ability to drive; computer familiarity |
| GDMO — FRU / RKSK / NUHM | MBBS; corresponding programme application and 85+15 selection |
| Block Programme Coordinator (ASHA) | Specified masters or graduation in any discipline; one-year computer-application diploma; Birbhum domicile |
Experience has different legal effects in different posts. Two years in a hospital is a minimum threshold for the Rehabilitation Worker, while nurse clinical experience adds merit points without being printed as an essential minimum. For TBHV a year of specified health-worker service is compulsory, whereas the ASHA Coordinator calls two years of health-project work desirable. Experience is counted after obtaining the required qualification and up to the application deadline; pre-qualification service cannot automatically be substituted.
Bachelor-level physiotherapy is the entry qualification, not simply the generic term “health graduate.” A two-year hospital work history is necessary. The selection is 50 marks and includes an actual five-mark interview, while a Master of Physiotherapy is worth up to five additional marks. Candidates with government and private experience must use the two different point columns printed in the notice. The posting may be at Block Primary Health Centre or Rural Hospital, so a willingness to serve outside the district headquarters matters.
The merit distribution is Class X 30 + Class XII 30 + GNM 20 + hospital clinical experience 20. At least four completed clinical years reach the 20-point experience cap; one completed year but less than two reaches five points. A provisional WBNC registration certificate is mentioned, but unregistered nursing training alone does not meet the stated Council-registration condition. The notice does not specify a staff-nurse written examination.
📊 Staff Nurse marks: 80 academics + 20 experience
| Staff Nurse evaluation component | Maximum marks |
|---|---|
| Class X | 30 |
| Class XII | 30 |
| GNM examination | 20 |
| Eligible clinical experience | 20 |
The U-HWC/NUHM Assistant route is restricted to female applicants residing permanently in Birbhum and holding ANM or GNM qualifications with WBNC registration. Its selection method is the qualifying ANM/GNM percentage—not the nurse post’s 30+30+20+20 formula. The difference matters even though both positions involve nursing. Candidates from elsewhere in West Bengal satisfy the general state residence rule but not this extra Birbhum-specific condition.
The TB Health Visitor (₹18,000) requires a science graduate with one year of MPW/LHV/ANM/health-worker service and a minimum two-month computer course certificate. It offers five marks for computer practical and five for MPW training. The STLS (₹25,000) instead requires graduation with DMLT or BMLT, a valid permanent two-wheeler licence and computer familiarity; its computer practical is ten marks. Both notice sections refer to academic/experience shortlisting at 1:20. Although the initial vacancies list shows one letter order and the post-specific sections reverse D and E, the role title and actual requirements determine the correct criteria.
FRU has four posts, RKSK has three, and NUHM/15th Finance Commission has eight. The ₹60,000 monthly remuneration and MBBS 85 + interview 15 apply to all three, with no separate written examination in the notice. For foreign-qualified MBBS applicants, the advertised assessment uses their FMG examination score as equivalent to final MBBS score. That is a marks-comparison instruction, not a statement of unrestricted professional practice permission. The three programmes have different reservations, so choose the correct listed programme before fee payment.
📊 GDMO evaluation: 85 academic + 15 interview
| GDMO component | Maximum marks |
|---|---|
| MBBS or qualifying FMG score | 85 |
| Interview | 15 |
The educational alternatives are narrower in detail than the label “any graduate” implies: the notice lists several named master’s fields or a degree in any discipline, and additionally specifies a one-year computer-application diploma. The candidate must be permanently based in Birbhum, communicate effectively and be willing to travel extensively across blocks. ASHA programme experience receives preference, and two years of health-project experience is marked desirable. The written and computer tests have ten marks each, but the academic part of the printed scoring table is ambiguous: it separately prints a “Graduation 7.5 / Postgraduation 15” distinction and “HS 20 / Graduation 30”. The notice does not reconcile those rows into a declared final grand total, so no total score or question count should be presumed.
General applicants pay ₹100; reserved-category candidates pay ₹50 through the official online payment process. The receipt is not refundable. Applicants should upload a correct photograph and signature, ensure consistency with original records, and retain the official registration identifier. The notice rejects incomplete or inconsistent forms and does not require posting the printed application to the health office. Candidates claiming SC/ST/OBC/EWS or disability benefit must have the competent-authority certificate as required; for this notice, caste and disability certificates are stated to be from West Bengal authorities and must be issued no later than the online-application closing date.
Certificate dates and scoring: Academic percentages are considered after rounding to two decimal places. Work experience is calculated after the essential qualification and up to the last application date. Local-language knowledge is a general eligibility requirement; the notice does not publish a separate language test. A printed form, original certificates and score-bearing evidence should be retained for subsequent verification.
The authority has printed the post-specific merit, interview, written and computer-practical rules, but no date, shift or venue for those tests or interviews appears in this 5 November notification. Only candidates shortlisted by the respective criteria will be called for later assessments. The recruitment panel can remain valid up to one year after approval. There is no official answer key, result, cutoff, call letter or interview list in this uploaded notification; refer to the district and West Bengal Health recruitment notices for actual releases.

The essential requirement is a physiotherapy bachelor degree plus two years of hospital work. The notice does not say an MPT can substitute for experience: the MPT is an additional scoring advantage. This matters because the total is only 50 marks, yet a postgraduate title does not override missing essential hospital experience. The matrix allocates 10 marks each to Class X, Class XII and the bachelor's degree, five additional to the master's, ten to work experience and five to interview. Government hospital experience earns 4/6/8/10 marks for completed 2/3/4/5 years; the private hospital column assigns 2/3/4/5 marks for those bands. Under the experience chart, the basic two-year eligibility threshold does not automatically score the full ten. Candidates should distinguish government and private experience certificates and establish dates after passing the essential physiotherapy degree. Posting is BPHC or Rural Hospital—not necessarily Suri headquarters. One PwBD-labelled UR seat and two EC-labelled UR seats are included within UR four, not extra posts.

The 12-seat nurse register is the largest single role in the advertisement. It specifically demands GNM training and West Bengal Nursing Council registration, with a WBNC provisional registration certificate also mentioned. The 100-point calculation is 30 marks based on Class X, 30 on Class XII, 20 on GNM and up to 20 on relevant clinical experience. The last 20 are earned in bands: at least one but under two completed years = 5, two to under three = 10, three to under four = 15, and four or more = 20. Someone with strong GNM marks but no qualifying hospital experience remains eligible if other conditions are satisfied; the notice uses experience for additional marks, not as a universal minimum for this nurse role. Posting is NUHM or U-HWC in Birbhum district; the scoring does not announce a CBT or skill test. UR(EC) 3 and OBC(EC) 1 are reservation annotations, not a separate pool to add over 12.

This is female-only and Birbhum-district permanent domicile is mandatory, in addition to the advertisement's general West Bengal residence and knowledge-of-local-languages requirement. The nursing route is ANM OR GNM from an INC-recognised institute, followed by WBNC registration. Its selection line is unusually straightforward: merit by the percentage marks obtained in the applicable ANM or GNM examination. The notice does not attach a separately scored interview, computer skill test or age-based bonus to this role. Employment is at U-HWC or UPHC, not unrestricted across the state. Its ten posts include UR(EC) 1 and EWS(EC) 1 within the corresponding vertical categories; these are not two extra seats. A permanent Birbhum residence proof, duly attested by Gazetted Officer or Group A Officer for the notice's verification requirement, deserves attention before applying.
Residence: Birbhum district permanent residence required for this post, beyond the standard permanent West Bengal residence requirement. Original notification reference: DHFWS-II/HR-2026/774; page(s) 3 of the 5 November 2026 Birbhum notice.

Science graduation plus one completed year working as MPW, LHV, ANM or Health Worker AND a computer-operations certificate course lasting at least two months. MPW training is a preference/additional-mark criterion. Computer practical carries five marks.

Exact reservation: UR 1. Vertical total: UR 1 = 1. EC and PwBD are included tags, not extra vacancies.
The TB Health Visitor is a science-graduate plus field-service route: at least one completed year as an MPW, LHV, ANM or Health Worker is essential. A minimum two-month computer-operations course certificate is also essential; training in MPW is preferential and separately scores five marks. The 50-point structure consists of Class X 5, XII 10, graduation 15, MPW training 5, experience 10 and a computer practical 5. For experience, the government column gives 2/4/6/8/10 for completed 1/2/3/4/5+ years; private column gives 1/2/4/4/5 according to the printed table, so do not replace the official intermediate bands with a smoother guess. The advertisement says 20 candidates per vacancy may be called using academic qualification and experience. It does not prescribe a named software syllabus for the five-mark practical. The first vacancy table reverses the letter positions of STLS and TBHV compared with the internal post details; matching by job title avoids misapplication.

The Senior Treatment Laboratory Supervisor differs from TBHV in training, field mobility and test marks. Graduation with DMLT or BMLT from recognised institution is prescribed. A permanent two-wheeler driving licence and ability to drive are expressly required; familiarity with MS Word, Excel and related programmes is also described. One year in a National Health Programme is a preferential credential, not a universal compulsory service condition. The 50-point register has Class X 5, Class XII 10, qualification-route total 15 (graduation 10 + DMLT 5 or BMLT 15), experience 10 and a 10-mark computer practical. Government work experience earns up to 10 marks and private work up to 5 per the displayed bands. The shortlisting ratio is 1:20. The advertisement does not provide a written paper or a software-task-by-task syllabus, so a practical test must not be portrayed as a published CBT.

These four First Referral Unit posts carry UR 2, ST 1 and EWS 1 vacancies and a ₹60,000 consolidated monthly payment. The notice explicitly states MBBS as the educational qualification; no specialty postgraduate degree is imposed for this GDMO listing. The selection rubric is 85 marks from MBBS examination performance and 15 for interview. Candidates holding foreign MBBS degrees are told that FMG examination scores are treated as equivalent to their final MBBS examination scores for this marking purpose. That scoring equivalence is not a statement about waiver of any legally required medical registration or practice licensing; applicants must still comply with applicable professional rules. Any health-district unit may be the actual place of posting. Avoid assuming the four FRU posts are at only one named hospital or that the interview date is announced.

This programme is the Rashtriya Kishor Swasthya Karyakram, with three separate medical-officer vacancies: one OBC, one SC and one UR(EC). The selection scale matches the two other GDMO programmes—MBBS marks 85 + interview 15—but the programme identity and vertical roster do not. MBBS is the stated essential qualification and the advertisement does not prescribe a separate RKSK written test. Being recruited for a programme is not the same as being stationed at a district headquarters: the notice permits posting at any unit under Birbhum Health District. The FMG equivalence clause concerns how academic scores are counted, not an assurance of automatic selection. Interview merit details and venue are yet to be announced.

This is the largest medical-officer grouping: eight NUHM/15th Finance Commission posts, including UR(EC) 2 and OBC(EC) 1 as tagged vacancies within UR four and OBC one. A ₹60,000 consolidated monthly payment and the 85 MBBS + 15 interview assessment are the same as the FRU and RKSK streams, but applications must be checked against the correct programme listing. The notice allows posting at any Birbhum Health District unit. Applicants should not conflate the eight NUHM/15th FC GDMO vacancies with twelve NUHM/15th FC Staff Nurse vacancies; they have different eligibility, selection totals and pay. The official text includes the FMG-score substitution for foreign MBBS score comparison only; no test date is set.

For the two ASHA coordination posts, the Birbhum district domicile rule is compulsory, as are practical communication ability, readiness for extensive travel and the advertised one-year diploma in computer applications. There are two academic entry alternatives: the listed postgraduate disciplines (Social Science, Sociology, Social Anthropology, MSW, MBA, Economics, Rural Development, Mass Communication) OR graduation in any discipline. Two years of health-project work experience is called desirable rather than essential; prior ASHA programme work receives preference. The notice specifies ₹15,000 monthly plus mobility support up to ₹1,800 per month, not an unconditional salary of ₹16,800. Written test 10 marks and computer skill test 10 marks are definitely declared. However, its scoring panel also lists 'Graduation 7.5 or Postgraduation 15' alongside 'HS 20, Graduation 30', without an explicit reconciled grand total. Do not turn this into a fabricated 100-mark exam or a fixed common merit total. No written-test duration, topic list, negative marking or assessment date is published.
Residence: Birbhum district permanent residence required for this post, beyond the standard permanent West Bengal residence requirement. Original notification reference: DHFWS-II/HR-2026/774; page(s) 6–7 of the 5 November 2026 Birbhum notice.
