Thanjavur TB Health Visitor Recruitment 2026: 2 NTEP Contract Posts, ₹15,000 Monthly — Full Eligibility and Offline Application Guide

The District Health Society – National TB Elimination Programme (NTEP), Thanjavur, has invited applications for two Tuberculosis Health Visitor (TB Health Visitor/TBHV) positions. These posts are offered on a temporary contractual basis, initially for 11 months, at a notified ₹15,000 per month. There is one Most Backward Classes (MBC) seat and one Backward Classes (BC) seat. The notice asks candidates to submit the prescribed signed application with supporting documents so that it reaches the district TB office by 10 November 2026.

This is not a notification of two permanent government cadre positions. The government PDF does not publish a written-test timetable, interview date, fee, fixed exam syllabus, recruitment memo number, or separately dated issue line. The Thanjavur District Administration's website lists the notice from 3 November 2026; this is the website start/publication date, not a date printed as an issue date on the two-page PDF.

📌 Official recruitment at a glance

1. 🥧 The two seats and who should read the reservation table carefully

🥧 Thanjavur TB Health Visitor 2026: category-wise share of two posts

The original Tamil vacancy table shows two vacancies in total. The columns for General and Adi Dravidar are marked with dashes, not additional seats. The advertisement does not separately state a women-only, PwBD or ex-servicemen allocation. MBC and BC are the actual printed category labels; candidates should not replace them with a broad all-India OBC label when identifying the vacancy relevant to their claim. The first page also asks for a copy of the applicable community/caste certificate with the application.

This vacancy split matters because the applicant's community entry appears on the prescribed form on page 2. It should agree with the supporting certificate, rather than being inferred from the candidate's educational background or employment status.

2. Essential qualification: do not combine the three OR alternatives into one impossible requirement

The printed eligibility cell contains a set of alternative main eligibility pathways, followed by a separate compulsory computer-operation certificate. It is important to read its OR wording and the separate item numbered 2 correctly.

Path A — Science graduation

The first printed route is Graduate in Science. The PDF does not list a minimum percentage, preferred science subject, specific university, or a universal requirement for a Science graduate to have previously worked as an MPW/ANM/LHV. The common computer-operation condition described below still applies.

Path B — 10+2 Science with the stated relevant work or training background

The next text refers to Intermediate (10+2) in Science and relevant background in MPW (Multi-Purpose Worker), LHV (Lady Health Visitor), ANM (Auxiliary Nurse Midwife), or other health-worker work. The same printed sequence refers to a certificate or higher course in health education/counselling. The notification does not quantify a minimum number of years, distinguish every acceptable certificate issuer or provide a complete equivalence list. Applicants relying on this route should make the exact experience or training record available instead of claiming eligibility from 10+2 Science alone.

Because the original English cell uses slashes around the work-experience/certificate language, candidates relying only on a health-education or counselling certificate, without the described 10+2/role background, should confirm its acceptability with the District Health Society. The notice does not supply a more detailed equivalence schedule.

Path C — Recognised Tuberculosis Health Visitor course

The third expressly named route is Tuberculosis Health Visitor's recognised course. It is an alternative mentioned in its own right. The advertisement does not identify a course-duration requirement, a percentage threshold, or a named list of recognised institutes for this route. Keep evidence that the TBHV course is recognised, and do not assume that any unrelated short-duration healthcare course is automatically interchangeable.

PLUS: a minimum two-month course in computer operation

Every main route must additionally meet the computer qualification. Item 2 of the official essential-qualification cell states “certificate course in computer operation (minimum two months)”. On the application form the computer-course condition has an independent Yes/No field. Basic familiarity with a smartphone or office computer is not, by itself, the named course certificate. The document does not prescribe a specific brand of office software or computer-training institute; avoid substituting an invented institute condition for the printed one.

Examples for checking your own documents:

These examples explain the printed criteria; final acceptance of records and recognition rests with the recruiting authority.

3. Preferential qualification is not an extra compulsory degree

The notice's Preferential Qualification column names training for MPW or a recognised Sanitary Inspector course. The application form asks Yes/No for this separately. The word preferential is important: a candidate satisfying one of the essential routes and the computer-course requirement should not mistake this additional training for a universal compulsory third qualification. Conversely, a preference alone does not replace the essential routes or the computer certificate.

No preference marks, priority formula, years of bonus experience, or interview weightage are given in the original two-page notice. An applicant may truthfully show relevant MPW/Sanitary Inspector training but should not assume a specific marks advantage.

4. Age, contract period, remuneration and actual work location

The Tamil line states “வயது வரம்பு 60 வயதுக்கு மிகாமல்” — the age must not exceed 60 years. That is different from “below 60”. The notice does not specify the particular date for calculating age, a minimum age, category-wise relaxations or a separate maximum age for the two community vacancies. Candidates at the boundary should verify the authority's age-calculation practice; a 59-year maximum would misstate the printed condition.

Both advertised TBHV posts carry ₹15,000 per month. This is the announced remuneration, not a Pay Matrix Level and not proof of DA, HRA, a pension scheme or a stated annual increment. The initial 11-month term and a further 11-month renewal are mentioned; they do not convert this engagement into regular government employment or guarantee an indefinite sequence of renewals.

These positions belong to NTEP in Thanjavur district. The notice does not publish a named facility for each of the two positions or a duty-by-duty job description. Do not presume that the office receiving forms is necessarily the eventual posting facility. The notice also does not assign examination centres or specify a duty-roster schedule.

5. Page 2 of the PDF is the actual application form — field-by-field guide

The document has two pages, and the second page is not an additional advertisement: it is headed “District Health Society – National TB Elimination Programme, Thanjavur: Application Form – Tuberculosis Health Visitor”. Print and complete this form, rather than creating an unofficial free-form application.

The application asks for Yes/No rather than a detailed online multi-select form. The original sheet should be completed truthfully; do not mark “Yes” for a course that is merely planned or still uncompleted.

6. Documents expressly named in the Tamil notice

The first page instructs applicants to submit copies with the completed form. Prepare the following to the extent applicable: educational qualification and other qualifying course records, computer-operation certificate, Aadhaar card, and community/caste certificate. If relying on relevant MPW/LHV/ANM/health-worker experience or a recognised TBHV course, keep the records that establish that exact route. The original notice does not list a fixed photo dimension, specify a paid application challan, demand an NOC from every applicant, or impose a numbered upload-size limit.

A practical final-envelope check is: the official form, candidate photo, complete identity/contact fields, the two essential-qualification checks, relevant evidence copies, community/caste proof where applicable, and the applicant's signature, place and date. The PDF does not expressly mandate that every copied certificate be self-attested; do not confuse sensible document organisation with a written rule that is absent from the advertisement.

7. Correct submission address, method and deadline

The Tamil notice permits completed forms to be delivered directly or sent by post. The destination printed in the notice is:

Deputy Director of Medical Services (Tuberculosis)
District Tuberculosis Centre (District TB Centre)
Raja Mirasdar Hospital Campus
Thanjavur – 613001, Tamil Nadu

The original Tamil designation reads “துணை இயக்குநர் மருத்துவப்பணிகள் (காசநோய்), மாவட்ட காசநோய் மையம், இராசா மிராசுதார் மருத்துவமனை வளாகம், தஞ்சாவூர்-613001”. Address the submission to the office stated in the PDF; sending it to an unrelated state recruitment board is not the instructed method.

Deadline: 10 November 2026. The document says applications received after the last date, applications without enclosures, and applications without full details will be rejected. A postal booking receipt dated 10 November is not the same as delivery by that date. Allow actual transit time, or use the direct method if appropriate. No clock time is printed for the final date, so do not treat an assumed office closing-hour cutoff as an official fact.

The government notice does not provide an online form submission link or an application email address. The district website is used to obtain the notification and printable form, not as proof of an online-apply mechanism.

8. What the authority has and has not published about selection

No written examination pattern, interview marks, number of shortlisting rounds, merit formula, examination date, hall-ticket issue date, document-verification schedule or result date is specified in these two pages. The eligibility and preferential-training entries should not be converted into a made-up 100-point selection chart. Applicants should retain contact details and refer to genuine subsequent notices issued by the District Health Society or district administration.

9. Dates and terms that must not be confused

10. Detailed applicant questions answered from the two-page notice

Can a Science graduate apply without prior MPW work? Science graduation is separately named as an OR alternative. The notice does not attach a universal experience-in-years requirement to it. The minimum two-month computer-operation course still applies.

Will 12th Science alone qualify? The notice pairs the Intermediate Science route with particular health-work or health education/counselling background. Do not omit that second part when interpreting eligibility.

Is a recognised TBHV course a valid alternative? Yes, it is expressly included. However, the notification does not provide a list of institutes or an equivalence decision for other unrelated certificates.

If I have the MPW or Sanitary Inspector training, can I skip the computer certificate? No. The MPW/Sanitary Inspector course is listed as preferential, whereas the two-month computer-operation certificate is placed among essential qualifications.

Is the maximum age 59? The actual Tamil wording is not more than 60. No exact reference date or category relaxation schedule appears in the notice.

Does the notice confirm an examination or interview? No. It advertises positions, eligibility and the offline form but does not prescribe a scoring or examination timetable.

Is there a stated application charge? No amount or payment method is printed; do not interpret that silence as an expressly announced exemption for all applicants.

Can I send only a résumé by email? The prescribed application is page 2 of the PDF and the stated methods are direct delivery or post to the TB office. No email application channel is mentioned.

Does applying to the MBC or BC seat mean I should upload credentials on a private job portal? No. Use the government-supplied paper form and the official submission address; the district recruitment page is the original notice source.
