What is the Eligibility for AIIMS NDDTC Recruitment 2026?
Educational Qualification and Experience
Check the row for your own post. Two posts need mandatory experience, and that is where many candidates slip.
| Post | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Project Research Scientist-II (Medical) | MD in Psychiatry. Experience is not mandatory |
| Project Research Scientist-I (Non-Medical) | Post-graduate degree in Psychology, Social Work, Sociology or similar disciplines. Experience is not mandatory |
| Project Technical Officer / Project Technical Support-III | Graduate degree in Public Health, Statistics, Clinical Psychology, Social Work, Sociology or Psychology, plus at least 3 years post-qualification experience (mandatory) |
| Project Technical Support-II | Graduate degree in any subject, plus at least 2 years post-qualification experience (mandatory) |
| Project Nurse-I | Two years’ ANM course or above (a higher nursing qualification) |
Candidates with relevant post-qualification work experience will be preferred for the Scientist and Technical posts. These extra points are listed as desirable in the notification:
| Post | Desirable |
|---|---|
| Scientist-II (Medical) | Research and clinical experience with substance-using populations, good writing and analytical skills, working knowledge of MS Office, experience of working at AIIMS |
| Scientist-I (Non-Medical) | Ph.D. or M.Phil. in the same disciplines |
| Project Nurse-I | Clinical experience, and experience of handling patients with substance use |
If you hold a postgraduate degree in psychology or social work, or a plain graduate degree with the required years of experience, you have a real shot here. Nurses can also look at more medical and healthcare government jobs.
Age Limit
The age limit is a maximum and it differs by post. The notification says relaxation is given as per Govt. rules, but it does not list category-wise years. It also does not print an as-on date for counting age. Check this with the office before you travel if you are close to the limit.
| Post | Maximum Age |
|---|---|
| Project Research Scientist-II (Medical) | 40 years |
| Project Research Scientist-I (Non-Medical) | 35 years |
| Project Technical Officer / Project Technical Support-III | 35 years |

What is the Salary for AIIMS NDDTC Recruitment 2026?
The pay is a fixed monthly amount plus HRA, and it depends on the post. The top post, Project Research Scientist-II (Medical), pays Rs 80,000 a month, while Project Nurse-I pays Rs 18,000. HRA is added at the prevailing ICMR rates, so your final monthly amount depends on that rate. The notification does not mention DA or any other allowance, so do not count on them when you plan your budget.
Because this is a project job, the pay lasts as long as the contract does. The contract is for 1 year and can be extended as the project needs. It suits early-career researchers, psychologists and nurses who want an AIIMS centre on their CV, but it is not a permanent post, so go in with that clear picture.
