AIIMS Nagpur has published a project recruitment notice in the Department of Community Medicine for 17 temporary posts under a Tata Trusts sponsored project titled Situation Analysis for Delivery of Vitamin C Rich Fruits for Reduction of Anaemia among School-aged Children and Pregnant Women in Gadchiroli and Nagpur Districts. The official AIIMS Nagpur vacancies page lists this recruitment with a start date of 06 April 2026 and a last date of 15 April 2026.
The notice is important for applicants because the official PDF contains a few wording inconsistencies. The document heading says walk-in interview, but the application section requires candidates to send a scanned application form and supporting documents by email and also fill a Google form. The same application paragraph shows 15 April 2025, while the official vacancies page and the PDF date clearly place the recruitment in April 2026. Candidates should therefore follow the latest AIIMS Nagpur vacancies page and treat the 2025 date inside the application paragraph as a likely typographical error unless the institute issues a corrigendum.
Recruitment overview
AIIMS Nagpur is recruiting project staff on a purely temporary basis under a Tata Trusts sponsored public health project in the Department of Community Medicine. The recruitment covers research and technical posts and is intended for field-linked project execution rather than regular institute service.
The posts are contractual for three months initially and are extendable. The notice also makes it clear that these positions do not create any claim for regular appointment at AIIMS Nagpur.
Project and department details
The project is titled Situation Analysis for Delivery of Vitamin C Rich Fruits for Reduction of Anaemia among School-aged Children and Pregnant Women in Gadchiroli and Nagpur Districts. It is being run by the Department of Community Medicine, AIIMS Nagpur, and the project principal investigator named in the official notice is Dr Yogesh Bahurupi, Additional Professor.
This project has a field implementation component. The notice specifically states that the selected candidate will have to carry out visits to field areas in Nagpur district, so applicants should be prepared for fieldwork and not assume that the job will be entirely campus based.
Post-wise vacancy details
| Post Name | Vacancies |
|---|---|
| Project Research Scientist II (Medical) | 1 |
| Project Research Scientist I (Non-Medical) | 2 |
| Project Technical Support III | 8 |
| Project Technical Support I (Data Entry Operator) | 2 |

The vacancy breakup is clearly available in the official AIIMS Nagpur PDF. Candidates should apply only for the post that matches their qualification and experience profile.
Important dates and official inconsistency note

| Vacancies page start date | 06 April 2026 |

Applicants should note that the application paragraph inside the official PDF mentions 15 April 2025, but the same PDF is dated 06 April 2026 and the official AIIMS Nagpur vacancies page lists the last date as 15 April 2026. Unless AIIMS Nagpur issues a corrigendum, the 2025 mention should be treated as a likely typographical error and the vacancies page date should be followed.

Application mode and how to apply
The process is not a standard permanent-recruitment portal application. The official notice instructs candidates to send a scanned copy of the application in the prescribed format along with supporting documents to the project email ID and also fill the linked Google form.
- Download the official advertisement and the Annexure 1 application form.
- Fill the application form carefully for the post you want to apply for.
- Attach scanned supporting documents such as educational certificates, experience proof, age proof and identity details.
- Email the scanned application and documents to dcmprojectsaiimsngp@gmail.com within the application window.
- Also complete the Google form linked on the official AIIMS Nagpur vacancies page.
- Keep a copy of the submitted application and attachments for future verification.
Candidates should use the official vacancies page for the working Google form link and should not rely on unofficial mirrors for submission.
Selection process and interview details
The official notice states that a panel of recommended candidates will be shortlisted after the written test, if needed, followed by an interview. It also says that shortlisted candidates only will be called for interview and the date, time and venue of the interview will be intimated by email.
This means the recruitment is not an open same-day walk-in despite the heading used in the PDF. Applicants should first complete the application step and then wait for email communication from the institute if shortlisted.
Interview venue and work expectations
The notice states that shortlisted candidates will have to attend the interview in the Department of Community Medicine, Demonstration Room, Third Floor, Medical Laboratory Building, AIIMS, MIHAN, Nagpur-441108. Since the interview schedule is to be communicated by email, candidates should monitor the email address and mobile number mentioned in their application.
The selected candidates should also be ready for field visits in Nagpur district as part of project work. The institute has clearly flagged this field requirement in the official notice.
Documents to keep ready
- Filled Annexure 1 application form
- Updated biodata or CV
- Proof of date of birth and photo identity
- Educational certificates and mark sheets
- Experience certificates relevant to the post applied for
- Any registration or diploma documents where required for the post
- Self-attested photocopies of testimonials
- Original certificates for verification at interview stage
The notice also makes it clear that submission of wrong or false information can lead to disqualification at any stage.
What is confirmed and what should still be checked
Confirmed from official AIIMS Nagpur sources are the project title, department, total vacancies, post-wise breakup, salary structure, tenure, age limits, application email, Google form requirement, field-visit condition, and the official vacancies page dates of 06 April 2026 to 15 April 2026.
The points that require applicant attention are the wording inconsistencies inside the PDF. The document heading says walk-in interview, while the application section requires prior email submission and later shortlisting. The application paragraph also shows 15 April 2025, which conflicts with the official 2026 vacancy listing. Candidates should follow the latest vacancies page and any corrigendum issued by AIIMS Nagpur if further clarification is released.
