The total of 68 is our sum of the post counts printed for each post; the notification does not print a grand total. For three posts the printed postings do not match the printed count: Assistant Professor (Clinical Psychology) says 03 posts but names only Chhatarpur-01, Lecturer (Occupational Therapy) says 03 posts but names two places, and Vocational Instructor says 01 post but names two places. We have kept the counts exactly as printed. If you are applying for one of these, watch the official website for a corrigendum. For Special Educator, one post at each CDEIC is for Intellectual Disability and one for any other disability category, with preference for cross-disability experience.

Many posts also list desirable extras such as a Ph.D. or RCI qualification; these help but are not compulsory.

Check experience closely: most CDEIC posts want 2 years of post-qualification experience, and some teaching posts want 3 or 5 years of teaching or research. The Administrative & Accounts Officer post is open only to retired Group A officers, not to serving staff or fresh graduates. Look for OR routes too: Lecturer (Education) accepts an equivalent RCI-recognised degree, and Teacher (Education) accepts a graduate with 7 years as a Teacher of the Deaf in place of a postgraduate with 5 years.

How to Apply for AYJNISHD Recruitment 2026 Offline?
There is no online form. Everything goes by post.
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Download the notification (link in Essential Links below); the prescribed application form is printed at its end |
| 2 | Fill it in, one form for each post, tick your posting location, affix a self-attested passport-size photograph, and sign it |
| 3 | Attach self-attested copies of mark sheets, certificates, proof of age, experience / CRR number, and category, salary and disability documents |
| 4 | Attach a ₹300 non-refundable Demand Draft in favour of the Director, AYJNISHD(D), payable at Mumbai, with your name and post written on the back |
| 5 | Write the post name and advertisement number on top of the envelope; use a separate envelope for each post |
| 6 | Send it by Registered Post / Speed Post / Courier to The Director, Ali Yavar Jung National Institute of Speech and Hearing Disabilities (Divyangjan), K.C. Marg, Bandra Reclamation, Bandra (W), Mumbai 400050, so it reaches within 21 days of the Employment News advertisement |
Use the institute’s own format only, because a form in any other format is rejected. Write your name in capitals, fill your Date of Birth exactly as on your proof of age, and keep a photocopy of the complete set along with the postal receipt until the process is over.
Two papers need lead time: the NOC for working candidates and the RCI CRR registration proof, so get both before you post.
What are the Last Date and Important Dates for AYJNISHD Recruitment 2026?
| Event | Date |
|---|---|
| Notification date | 30 September 2026 |
| Last date (application must reach) | Within 21 days of publication in Employment News (date not printed in the notification) |
Post early. Because the deadline counts from the Employment News date and the institute is not responsible for postal delay, waiting until the third week is risky.
What is the Application Fee for AYJNISHD Jobs 2026?
| Category | Fee |
|---|---|
| All candidates | ₹300 per post |
Pay only by Demand Draft payable at Mumbai. The notification does not mention any fee exemption for any category. Applying for two posts means two forms, two envelopes and two DDs.
