The Department of Pharmaceuticals (DoP), Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers, Government of India, issued Advertisement 06/2026 on 31 October 2026 for five contractual professionals. The vacancy notice is common to all five posts, but the department has published two different prescribed application forms: one for Technical Consultant Grade-I (three openings across two divisions) and another for Young Professional (two openings in Parliament & Coordination). Applications must reach the department by 20 November 2026. This is a receipt deadline, not a confirmed midnight online-submission cut-off.

The five seats above are role/division counts, not a reserved-category roster. The 31 October advertisement does not publish a UR/SC/ST/OBC/EWS seat allocation. No category split is inferred here.
📊 Compare the three advertised monthly remuneration amounts
| Advertised position | Monthly amount (INR) |
|---|---|
| Technical Consultant — Medical Devices | 80000 |
| Technical Consultant — Pharmaceuticals | 80000 |
| Young Professional — Parliament & Coordination | 70000 |
Technical Consultant Grade-I: ₹80,000 a month for either division. Young Professional: ₹70,000 a month. These are contractual consultancy fees, not basic pay in a 7th CPC level, and neither PDF publishes an in-hand/net salary after deductions. The separate, original DoP contractual-engagement guidelines cover performance review and any permissible changes over time; an increase is not guaranteed merely because an initial engagement begins.
Essential education is BE/B.Tech in Biomedical, Biotechnology, Electronics or Instrumentation Engineering, OR M.Pharm. The source additionally states the desirable alternative of M.Tech or equivalent postgraduate degree in Biomedical, Biotechnology or Instrumentation Engineering. Because the wording separates Essential Qualification and Desirable Qualification, applicants must not treat the desirable M.Tech route as automatically replacing the specified essential degree; refer to the original notice and the department's applicable guidelines for equivalence. At least three years of work experience is required in medical-device manufacturing, regulatory affairs, research and development, or a medical-device testing laboratory and closely related subjects. Practical familiarity with manufacturing, global device trade/regulation, new technologies, economics/industry data and programme management is useful. Maximum age: 40 years on 31 October 2026.
The post specifically requires a Master's or Integrated Degree in M.Pharm / M.Sc (Pharmacology). It also requires at least three years of relevant experience, which can include the pharmaceutical industry, pharmaceutical/medical-device regulator or government department, relevant consulting/research organisations, or trade and market-access analysis and economics/industry data analytics. Deeper understanding of APIs, key starting materials and drug intermediates is desirable, not a separately declared mandatory degree. Maximum age: 40 years on 31 October 2026.
The DoP lists alternative, not cumulative, qualification routes: a Master's in a relevant subject; OR BE/B.Tech; OR MBBS; OR LLB; OR CA/ICWA; OR another relevant professional degree earned after graduation (or accepted equivalent). The degree/qualification must come from a recognised institution as described in the original notice. The YP annexure does not specify a compulsory number of years of previous experience; applicants can still demonstrate relevant analytical/administrative work and must possess office-software skills plus good communication, analysis and presentation ability. Maximum age: 32 years on 31 October 2026.
Medical Devices: technical/analytical inputs on regulation, quality compliance, healthcare manufacturing, industry trends, market access, policy and programme coordination. The assignment includes research notes, presentations, meeting records and correspondence across industry associations and other government divisions.
Pharmaceuticals / International Cooperation: briefing and reporting support for bilateral/multilateral meetings, pharmaceutical trade negotiations, cross-border regulatory conditions, trade data and market-access research, as well as documentation/coordination for international engagements.
Parliament & Coordination: tracking inter-departmental references, meeting support, drafting proposals and minutes, report/record preparation, handling files and monitoring departmental portals. This is an office-oriented executive-assistance and coordination role, not a technical medical-device research post.
Application fee: Nil for all three positions (expressly printed on the role annexures). Keep a copy of the signed form, sent email/attachments or dispatch acknowledgement for your records.
| Event | Official date | Candidate action |
|---|---|---|
| Advertisement issued and displayed | 31 October 2026 | Check both original PDFs and applicable guidelines |
| Last date for receipt of complete application | 20 November 2026 | Ensure actual receipt via email or physical mode |
| Screening/interview date | Not specified | Do not assume an interview date is announced |
| Result/engagement offer | Not specified | Follow the official department portal for future notices |
No written-examination syllabus, hall-ticket date, answer key, declared merit cutoff or result notice is issued in these two PDFs. Selection under the separately published DoP contractual guidelines proceeds through screening/shortlisting and a departmental selection committee; the committee may adopt an appropriate evaluation method. This is not proof that a written test or a specific interview schedule has already been fixed.
The applicable Technical Consultant guidelines dated 3 February 2026 and revised Young Professional guidelines dated 12 June 2026 provide the wider conditions that applicants affirm in their signed forms. They describe an initial one-year contractual engagement with extension subject to assessment and departmental approval, not automatically beyond five years. They also discuss conduct/confidentiality, whole-time service, office attendance, permitted leave, termination, and the absence of regular service benefits. An individual engagement letter may state operative joining requirements; always follow the competent authority's original instructions rather than treating a general guideline as a separate vacancy notification.
Are these five permanent government posts? No. Both original advertisements describe contractual consultancy/young-professional engagement; they expressly distinguish it from the status of a department employee.
Can an MBBS holder apply for the Young Professional role? Yes, MBBS is one of the separately listed alternative qualifications for YP, subject to the remaining stated requirements.
Can a person with only a bachelor's degree in an unrelated subject apply to the two Technical Consultant roles? Not on the basis of that unrelated degree alone. The Technical Consultant annexures specify their technical/pharmaceutical qualifications and three-year relevant experience requirement.
Is the salary ₹70,000–80,000 monthly? Yes, the advertisement specifies ₹70,000 for YP and ₹80,000 for either Technical Consultant role. It does not promise the same net take-home amount.
Is an application fee payable? No. The official annexures say Nil.
Is there an Apply Online button? No government online form is announced in these sources. Download the prescribed form and email or physically submit it as instructed.
Where is the posting? The YP annexure names New Delhi, and both consultant assignments are under the Department of Pharmaceuticals. Division-based deployment can change under the department's guidelines; no separate medical-device factory or field-site vacancy location is promised.
Can I claim a reserved-category vacancy? The five-position notice does not specify a category-wise allotment. Do not infer UR/OBC/EWS/SC/ST seats.
For authentic forms, read the two original Department of Pharmaceuticals PDFs (Technical Consultant and YP), the DoP recruitment notices listing, and the relevant February/June 2026 department guidelines. No private recruitment portal is an authorised application channel or a source for this article.
Open a post to view qualification, experience, age, salary, location, responsibilities and post-specific instructions.
Essential: BE/B.Tech (Biomedical, Biotechnology, Electronics or Instrumentation Engineering) OR M.Pharm. Desirable: M.Tech or equivalent postgraduate qualification (Biomedical, Biotechnology or Instrumentation Engineering). Minimum 3 years relevant medical-device experience also required. Do not reclassify desirable M.Tech automatically as a mandatory or free-standing essential substitute.
Required: Yes · Description: Minimum three years in medical-device manufacturing, medical-device regulatory affairs, research and development, testing laboratory or closely related subject as stated on the Medical Device Division annexure. · Minimum Years: 3
Division: Medical Device Division, Department of Pharmaceuticals. Fee: ₹80,000 per month. Upper age: 40 years on 31 October 2026. Application fee: Nil.
You need BE/B.Tech in Biomedical, Biotechnology, Electronics or Instrumentation Engineering OR M.Pharm. The employer separately calls M.Tech or equivalent postgraduate study in Biomedical, Biotechnology or Instrumentation Engineering desirable; it should not be silently presented as a newly invented essential route.
The annexure requires at least three years in medical-device manufacturing, regulatory affairs, research and development, testing laboratories or related topics. The role is policy and technical-analysis oriented, not automatically a laboratory technician posting: it includes sectoral trend analysis, research on device manufacturing/quality, preparation of policy notes, working with industry bodies and preparing government briefings and correspondence.
In the Technical Consultant prescribed form select the Medical Devices division; the same document also contains a different Pharmaceutical/International Cooperation option with different qualifying disciplines. Submit by email or official hard-copy route by 20 November 2026. The advertised fee is Nil and the ₹80,000 is a contractual monthly sum, not a permanent Grade Pay/Level.
Support Medical Device Division with technical research, policy analysis, regulatory/quality matters, industry coordination and documentation for programmes supporting Indian medical devices.
The common Advertisement 06/2026 allocates two Medical Devices vacancies but publishes no UR/SC/ST/OBC/EWS vertical roster by this role; no caste-category distribution may be inferred.
Required Master’s/Integrated Degree in M.Pharm or M.Sc (Pharmacology), plus at least 3 years relevant pharmaceutical-industry, regulator/government, consulting/research, or trade and market-access analysis experience. API/KSM/DI knowledge is desirable.
Required: Yes · Description: Minimum three years relevant experience: pharmaceutical industry, pharmaceutical/medical-device regulatory authority or government department, pertinent consulting/research organisations, or trade/market-access analysis and data analytics in economics/industry. · Minimum Years: 3
Division: International Cooperation. Monthly remuneration: ₹80,000. Age: not more than 40 years as on 31 October 2026. Fee: Nil.
The specified essential qualification is a Master's / Integrated Degree in M.Pharm or M.Sc (Pharmacology). A generic engineering graduate, unrelated M.Sc or MBBS does not automatically satisfy this different consultant position. The annexure also requires minimum three years of relevant experience: pharmaceutical industry, pharmaceutical/medical-device regulatory authorities, government department, consulting/research organisations or trade/market-access/data analytics. Familiarity with APIs, KSMs and drug intermediates is desirable.
The work focuses on international pharmaceutical cooperation and regulatory intelligence. You will support briefing papers for international meetings and negotiations, examine market-access issues, prepare country/industry notes, process data and official files, and coordinate across units. It is primarily a policy, research and coordination role rather than a pharmaceutical production-line job.
Use the Technical Consultant form, but select International Cooperation (Pharmaceuticals) and not Medical Devices. The 31 October notice does not create a separate online application page. Completed applications are accepted at the official email address or physical office by 20 November 2026.
Assist International Cooperation Division on pharmaceutical trade, regulations, market access, bilateral and multilateral meetings and sectoral analysis.
One position is notified in the International Cooperation Division without a published category-wise reservation breakout. No category or gender allocation is invented.
Any ONE recognised qualification route: Master's in relevant subject OR BE/B.Tech OR MBBS OR LLB OR CA/ICWA OR relevant professional degree earned after graduation (or officially accepted equivalent). No obligatory minimum previous experience in years is specified in this YP annexure; strong communication, office productivity, analytical and presentation skills required.
Required: No · Description: The YP advertisement does not prescribe a numerical mandatory minimum years of previous employment. Form requests previous employer/consultancy experience, if any.
Workplace: Department of Pharmaceuticals, New Delhi; the named Parliament & Coordination Division is indicative and DoP can direct work to another division. Fee: ₹70,000 per month. Maximum age: 32 years on 31 October 2026. Application fee: Nil.
Eligible routes include Master's in a relevant subject OR BE/B.Tech OR MBBS OR LLB OR CA/ICWA OR another relevant professional degree obtained after graduation (or formally accepted equivalent). The DoP does not ask a YP applicant to hold all of these degrees. The two-page role annexure does not prescribe a minimum three-year work experience: that three-year minimum belongs to the Technical Consultant roles, not the YP. Candidates nevertheless provide past employment/consultancy details if available.
The work involves parliamentary and administrative coordination, tracing official references, maintaining action trackers, organising meetings, drafting minutes/reports, monitoring portals and collaborating with ministries, departments and agencies. A candidate with strong written English, precise record management, Office/Excel-style applications and follow-up skills has a more relevant profile than someone relying solely on degree eligibility.
Use the Young Professional application form included in the 6-page official YP PDF; do not submit the Technical Consultant division-choice form. Send it by email or permissible physical delivery to the specified DoP office on or before 20 November 2026. The YP form refers to DoP's revised 12 June 2026 guidelines, including whole-time contractual service rather than a permanent Civil Service post.
Provide executive and analytical support to Department of Pharmaceuticals for parliamentary and inter-division coordination, administrative drafting, records and meetings.
Two Young Professional openings are published without a category-wise vertical reservation table. The candidate must be an eligible Indian national; no caste category split should be invented.

YP: relevant Master's OR BE/B.Tech OR MBBS OR LLB OR CA/ICWA OR relevant post-graduation professional degree/equivalent, as expressly specified.
Both TC positions require at least three years of post-qualification/relevant experience in sector-specific industries, regulators, government, research/consultancy or analytical work described in the relevant annexure. YP has no stated numeric minimum.
DoP accepts the appropriate signed form by email or sealed-cover Speed Post/hand delivery to the named official address by 20 November 2026; Technical Consultant candidates select the appropriate division.
