Recruitment-specific overview from the published record.
Official notice: DH&FWS/JGM/2026/1899 dated 30 October 2026. Online registration opens: 31 October 2026, 11:00 AM. Registration, fee payment and final submission close: 19 November 2026 at midnight as worded by the District Health & Family Welfare Samiti (DH&FWS), Jhargram. Employer: DH&FWS Jhargram under National Health Mission (NHM), West Bengal; the programme is Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram (RBSK). The engagement is purely contractual.
This is not a notice issued on 31 October. Its signed issue date is 30 October; 31 October is the opening date of applications. A candidate should distinguish both dates when checking authenticity or looking for amendments.
| Advertised post | Vacancies |
|---|---|
| Medical Officer – AYUSH (MHT), Male | 8 |
| Medical Officer – AYUSH (MHT), Female | 11 |
| Pharmacist, Allopathic | 12 |
| Staff Nurse (RBSK) | 2 |
Total = 8 + 11 + 12 + 2 = 33. The two AYUSH entries are distinct gender-restricted advertised posts; a male applicant must not select the female-only row or vice versa. The Pharmacist's 12 posts include the separately described UR-PwBD designation; it must not be counted as an additional thirteenth seat.

| Vertical category | Seats |
|---|---|
| UR (including the one separately labelled UR-PwBD seat) | 16 |
| SC | 9 |
| ST | 3 |
| EWS | 3 |

Arithmetic = 16 + 9 + 3 + 3 + 2 = 33. In the original Pharmacist row, the employer writes SC 3, UR 5, EWS 1, ST 1, OBC 1 and UR-PwBD 1: for the table above the single designated UR-PwBD seat is included in the aggregate UR number (5 + 1). It is a reservation-designated vacancy within the stated 12 Pharmacist places, not another vacancy above the advertised total. Do not confuse this employer-specific label with permission to add all horizontal reservations to vertical vacancy totals.

*Of the Pharmacist's six UR-labelled seats for aggregate reconciliation, one is specifically marked UR-PwBD in the printed roster. The PDF does not give further PwBD subcategory details. The recruiting authority's updated online roster is authoritative if it clarifies this designation.
💵 Compare the fixed notified monthly amounts
| Post | Monthly amount (₹) |
|---|---|
| AYUSH Medical Officer, Male | 32000 |
| AYUSH Medical Officer, Female | 32000 |
| Pharmacist | 22000 |
| Staff Nurse | 25000 |
These are consolidated/notified monthly amounts, not basic pay in a regular West Bengal pay matrix. The notice says increments are as per NHM guidelines; it does not publish a fixed annual increase or a guaranteed future in-hand salary. General candidates pay ₹100, reserved-category candidates ₹50, online only, non-refundable. The original notice does not specify any other mandatory fee or refund route.
Applicants must be permanent residents of West Bengal able to read, write and speak Bengali, with a recognised BHMS OR BAMS OR BUMS degree, completed compulsory internship at application, and registration with the relevant professional council. For BHMS, the notice expressly refers to recognised qualifications under the Homoeopathic Central Council Act, 1973 and registration in the applicable State or Central homoeopathy register. Graded BHMS is expressly included. A corresponding MD in Homoeopathy/Ayurveda/Unani is preferential, with 20 additional selection marks; it is not compulsory for basic eligibility. The printed AYUSH maximum age is 40 years. Male-only and female-only entries must be selected separately.
Essential qualification is the two-year Diploma in Pharmacy (Allopathic) from a PCI/AICTE-approved institute, plus West Bengal Pharmacy Council registration and the same West Bengal residence/Bengali-language condition. A B.Pharm and M.Pharm can add marks under the selection rubric; the advertisement does not state that B.Pharm alone replaces the prescribed D.Pharm and council registration. The published age band is 18–40 years. The separate UR-PwBD-designated seat is included in the twelve vacancies.
Essential qualification is completed GNM training from an Indian Nursing Council-recognised institute, with West Bengal Nursing Council registration and West Bengal residence/Bengali-language competence. Prior clinical work in a Government or private hospital is a scored preference, not an advertised compulsory minimum experience for all applicants. Upper age is 40 years. Both notified seats are UR 1 and SC 1.
The notice prints separate 100-mark formulas for each professional route. A candidate's percentage is applied proportionally, and the general instructions require marks to be calculated without rounding off, considering proportionate values up to two decimal places.
| Evaluation component | AYUSH MO (100) | Pharmacist (100) | Staff Nurse (100) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Class 10 marks | 20 | 20 | 30 |
| Class 12 marks | 20 | 20 | 30 |
| Essential professional course | 40 (BHMS/BAMS/BUMS) | 30 (D.Pharm) | 20 (GNM) |
| Postgraduate/advanced qualification | 20 (relevant MD) | 20 (B.Pharm) + 10 (M.Pharm) | — |
| Relevant post-qualification hospital experience | — | — | 20 |
| Maximum | 100 | 100 | 100 |
For Staff Nurses, experience scores are specifically graduated: one completed year but under two = 5, two but under three = 10, three but under four = 15, and four years or more = 20. Experience must be after completion of the required qualification. The notice does not provide a fixed written-exam date, admit card date, written syllabus, interview timetable, or final cutoff. Do not interpret the 100-mark academic matrix as a written-test paper.
Illustrative arithmetic (not an actual candidate score or cutoff): A qualifying AYUSH applicant with Class 10 = 75%, Class 12 = 80%, and professional degree = 70%, without a qualifying postgraduate MD, would receive 15 + 16 + 28 + 0 = 59/100 under the published weights. The calculation merely explains the formula; it does not predict selection and ignores any further administrative eligibility verification.
There is an actual printing inconsistency: the age heading on page 1 and the Staff Nurse page 3 states as on 01.01.2026, but page 2 shows 01.01.2025 above the female AYUSH and Pharmacist tables (one Staff Nurse-type heading in the continuation also uses 2025). No corrective notification is included in these four pages. Applicants should obtain confirmation from DH&FWS Jhargram / the official application page before treating one date as uniformly authoritative for all posts; age limits of 40 and Pharmacist minimum of 18 are printed clearly, but this conflicting reference date must not be silently normalised.
Documents to keep ready: proof of West Bengal permanent residence, proof of age, Class 10 and 12 records, relevant BHMS/BAMS/BUMS or D.Pharm or GNM credentials, completed internship proof for AYUSH, up-to-date council registration, applicable caste/EWS/PwBD certificates issued by the competent West Bengal authority, post-qualification experience proof for nursing score, and online form/payment/registration acknowledgement. The notice specifically requires current revalidated OBC certification at document verification and certificates issued within the prescribed windows where applicable.
All four posts may be posted in any Rural Hospital (RH) under Jhargram district, West Bengal. A candidate cannot infer a particular town, hospital or block assignment from the office postal address. The notice describes a contractual RBSK/NHM engagement, not permanent State Government service. The employer may release eligibility verification and further stage information later on its official recruitment website. No TA/DA is provided for document verification, selection test or interview where such an event is called.
Is this a 31 October advertisement? No. It is dated 30 October 2026, while applications begin 31 October 2026 at 11 AM.
Can a B.Pharm-only candidate bypass D.Pharm for Pharmacist? The essential line requires the two-year Allopathic D.Pharm plus West Bengal Pharmacy Council registration; B.Pharm/M.Pharm are listed as preferable score-enhancing qualifications. Do not assume substitution without a formal clarification.
Is nursing experience mandatory? No minimum nursing experience is given as an essential entry condition; it can earn up to 20/100 selection marks after qualifying GNM.
Does the 12-pharmacist roster mean 13 seats because of UR-PwBD? No. The total printed is 12 and the unique printed UR-PwBD entry is included in it, not a thirteenth vacancy.
Has the employer announced a written exam? No; the selection is defined by academic-score formulas, with experience counted for Staff Nurse. Additional stages, if any, need a later official notice.
Are candidates from outside West Bengal eligible? The official essential conditions require permanent West Bengal residence and Bengali-language ability.
Do applicants send their form by post? No. The application is online only. Retain the printed submission and original certificates for later verification.
Where can the age-date discrepancy be clarified? The employer's official website/recruitment service; both dates are visible in the uploaded signed notice. Do not rely on third-party guesses.

Graded BHMS is included. Candidates with recognised MD in Homoeopathy/Ayurveda/Unani gain up to 20 additional academic-selection marks; this postgraduate degree is not a compulsory prerequisite. The school/class and degree marks are allocated 20 + 20 + 40, with another 20 for the specified MD (maximum 100). The monthly remuneration is ₹32,000 plus only such increases as NHM guidelines actually allow; no separate fixed annual increment is advertised.

Essential degrees are BHMS/BAMS/BUMS as genuine alternatives—not a requirement to possess all three—alongside completed internship, stream-appropriate registration, West Bengal permanent residence and Bengali-language competence.

Other marks are 20 for Class 10, 20 for Class 12 and 40 for professional AYUSH degree results. Contractual consolidated remuneration is ₹32,000 per month; official NHM guideline increases are conditional.

12 Pharmacist seats with printed roster SC 3, UR 5, EWS 1, ST 1, OBC 1, plus one specifically labelled UR-PwBD 1.

The essential route is two-year D.Pharm (Allopathic) approved by PCI/AICTE, plus West Bengal Pharmacy Council registration. This is not a general licence for any unspecified pharmacy certificate. A B.Pharm and M.Pharm may attract 20 and 10 preferential points respectively, but the advertisement does not say that a B.Pharm-only applicant can ignore the required D.Pharm.
