How Many Vacancies Are There in CARI Bhubaneswar Recruitment 2026?
| Post | Vacancies | Walk-in Date and Time |
|---|---|---|
| Consultant (Ayurveda) | 3 | 11 November 2026, 10:30 a.m. |
| Young Professional | 4 | 12 November 2026, 10:30 a.m. |
| SRF (Ayurveda) | 1 | 13 November 2026, 10:30 a.m. |
The notification gives no category-wise split of these seats. Attend only on the date printed for your post.
The Young Professional post has the most seats, four. The SRF post has just one seat. The notice does not say whether one person may appear for more than one post, so decide which post suits your qualification and experience best, and read the notification once more before you travel.
What is the Eligibility for CARI Bhubaneswar Walk-in Recruitment 2026?
Educational Qualification
| Post | Essential Requirement |
|---|---|
| Consultant (Ayurveda) | MD/MS (Ayurveda) with minimum 5 years of work experience, OR BAMS with minimum 7 years of work experience |
| Young Professional | A graduate degree in Ayurveda from a recognized University, and registration with a State or Central board |
| SRF (Ayurveda) | BAMS from a recognized University |
Notice the two routes for Consultant. A BAMS holder is eligible too, but needs 7 years of experience instead of 5. Young Professional candidates must also hold State or Central board registration, so carry that certificate. The degree for each post must be from a recognized University.
If you hold an MD or MS, the shorter 5-year experience route saves you two years. Count your experience only from work you can prove with a certificate, because the Institute will ask for the experience certificate along with the originals.
The notification also lists desirable points. These are a plus, not a must.
| Post | Desirable |
|---|---|
| Consultant (Ayurveda) | Sanskrit knowledge and editing or publication of classical Ayurvedic books; skill in drafting and editing research proposals, technical reports, books and articles; MS Office; work in research projects funded by Ministry of Ayush, ICMR, DST or another Government of India organisation |
| Young Professional | Knowledge of computer applications like MS Office |
| SRF (Ayurveda) | Preference to those with a higher qualification or previous research experience on a project funded by Ministry of Ayush, ICMR, CSIR, DST or an equivalent organisation; experience as per the EMR guidelines of the Ministry of Ayush |
If you are applying for SRF, remember that the notice says preference goes to higher qualification or research experience. A plain BAMS qualifies, but others may be preferred over you. If you have worked on a funded research project, mention it clearly in your bio-data and carry the proof.
Age Limit
| Post | Age Limit |
|---|---|
| Consultant (Ayurveda) | Not exceeding 45 years |
| Young Professional | 40 years |
| SRF (Ayurveda) | Not exceeding 35 years |
Age is counted as on the date of interview, not the date you send anything. The notice says age is relaxable for SC, ST, OBC, PwBD and similar categories as per Government of India rules, without giving the number of years. The Young Professional limit is printed simply as “40 years”; read it as the upper limit.

What is the Salary for CARI Bhubaneswar Consultant, Young Professional and SRF Posts 2026?
| Post | Pay |
|---|---|
| Consultant (Ayurveda) | ₹60,000 per month, consolidated |
| Young Professional | ₹50,000 per month |
| SRF (Ayurveda) | ₹42,000 per month plus HRA as admissible |
Only the SRF post mentions HRA as admissible. The other two do not, so do not assume it. The notice gives no pay level or grade pay.
The terms of engagement matter as much as the pay. The engagement is initially for one year and may be cut short or extended at the discretion of the Competent Authority. It is co-terminus with the project, or until regular staff are posted, whichever is earlier. The Institute says no claim for continuation of service or regular appointment will be entertained. Think about that before leaving a stable job for it, and compare the pay with what you earn now. For a fresh BAMS graduate, a research post with a monthly pay of ₹42,000 to ₹50,000 can be a useful first step into funded projects. For an experienced doctor, the Consultant post offers the highest pay of the three at ₹60,000.
