What Is the Eligibility for DHFWS Arogyakeralam Recruitment 2026?
Qualifications are different for each post, so find your own row. Nurses and health workers can also browse our medical and healthcare government jobs page, and the JPHN post needs 10th pass (SSLC), JPHN course and registration.
| Post | Qualification and Experience |
|---|---|
| Dentist | BDS from a recognised university approved by Dental Council of India, plus Kerala State Dental Council Registration |
| Clinical Psychologist | Post Graduate degree in Clinical Psychology / MPhil + RCI Registration, plus 1 year post-qualification experience |
| Physiotherapist | Bachelor of Physiotherapy (BPT), plus 2 years post-qualification experience |
| Audiologist cum Speech Therapist / Audiologist | BASLP, valid RCI Registration and 3 years post-qualification experience |
| Epidemiologist (IDSP) | (1) Graduate with Post Graduate Degree / Diploma in Preventive and Social Medicine, Public Health or Epidemiology (MD, MPH, DPH, MAE etc.); (2) Any medical graduate with 5 years experience in Epidemiology / Public Health. Desirable: minimum 2 years experience in public health programmes or epidemiology |
| Adolescent Health Counsellor | Masters in Counselling / MSW (Medical and Psychiatry) OR MSc / MA Psychology / MSc Nursing (Psychiatry). Desirable: 1 year post-qualification experience |
| DEO cum Accountant | B.Com degree, plus PGDCA OR Diploma in Computer Applications (DCA). Desirable: Tally proficiency; “Two years of post-qualification” (the notice’s line ends there, unfinished) |
| Mid-Level Service Provider | BSc Nursing with valid Kerala Nursing Council Registration OR GNM; valid Kerala Nursing Council Registration; 1 year post-qualification experience |
| JPHN / RBSK Nurse | SSLC; JPHN course from Govt. / Govt. accredited institutions; valid Kerala Nursing Council Registration |
| Lab Technician | BSc MLT from a recognised University OR DMLT approved by DME; valid Paramedical Council of Kerala Registration |
| Data Entry Operator | Graduation in any subject; DCA; thorough knowledge of English and Malayalam editor ISM / Thoolika; 1 year post-qualification experience |
| Social Worker | Masters in Social Work (Specialisation in Medical and Psychiatry). Preference for 1 or more years post-qualification experience in social work |
Many posts ask for post-qualification experience, which means experience gained after you finished the required degree or course, not during study. Count your months from the date your qualification was completed, and keep a proper experience certificate, because the notice does not accept appointment letters, salary certificates or pay slips in its place. Also check every council registration named for your post (Kerala Nursing Council, Dental Council, RCI or Paramedical Council). The notice lists them as requirements, so a missing registration can cost you the post.
Two points to watch. For the Epidemiologist, the notice numbers its two qualification routes (1 and 2) without writing “or” between them, so read that row in the PDF before you decide. For Mid-Level Service Provider, the appointment is subject to the final decision in WP(C) No. 24617 of 2020, so the biggest post of all depends on a court case.
Age Limit
| Detail | Rule |
|---|---|
| Maximum age (all posts) | Not to exceed 40 years as on 1 October 2026 |
| Age relaxation | None mentioned in the notification |

Work out your age on 1 October 2026, not on the day you apply. The notice gives only a maximum age, the same for every post, and mentions no relaxation for any category. If you are older than 40 on that date, this notification is not open to you.
What Is the Salary for DHFWS Arogyakeralam Posts?
All pay is consolidated and monthly, as in the vacancy table. The highest is Rs 55,250 for the Epidemiologist and the lowest is Rs 16,250 for the Data Entry Operator. The Mid-Level Service Provider gets Rs 20,500 plus Rs 1,000 as fixed TA, and the TA is paid only after successful completion of training. Selected candidates are governed by the NHM rules in force from time to time.
The notification mentions no other allowance, benefit or increment, so plan on the consolidated figure alone. This is a contract job. The posts are temporary for the period of the Mission and do not promise a permanent job. That is a useful thing to know before you leave a stable private job.
What Is the Selection Process for DHFWS Arogyakeralam 2026?
| Detail | What the Notification Says |
|---|---|
| Basis of selection | Qualification, experience and performance in the Written Test / Interviews |
| Order of interviews | The Society may prioritise the interview for different categories of posts, as its needs require |
| Documents | Claims must be backed by copies of documents; originals may be asked at the interview or certificate verification |

The notice gives no exam pattern, syllabus or date. Updates will come by email, and candidates should check nhmtvm.com and arogyakeralam.gov.in regularly. Keep an eye on our preparation strategy page too.
The notice mentions a Written Test / Interviews, so do not assume only one will be held. Revise the basics of your own field, such as nursing care, public health programmes or lab procedures, and keep your documents in one file. Because the Society may call some categories of posts first, a later call does not mean you were rejected. Check your email every day, as that is how the Society will contact you.

How to Apply for DHFWS Arogyakeralam Recruitment 2026 Online?
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Open the official website (link in Essential Links below) and find the Google form for this notification. The notice says it is linked on nhmtvm.com and arogyakeralam.gov.in |
| 2 | Fill in the form completely and submit it by 29 October 2026, 5:00 PM |
| 3 | Take a Demand Draft of Rs 350 in favour of ‘DHFWS-OTHERS TRIVANDRUM’, payable at Thiruvananthapuram |
| 4 | Print the duly filled application form and sign it |
| 5 | Write “Application for the post of …” with your post name on the envelope |
| 6 | Send the signed printout and the original DD, by hand or by post, so it reaches the District Programme Manager, Arogyakeralam (NHM), DPM Office, W&C Hospital Compound, Thycaud, Thiruvananthapuram – 14 by 30 October 2026, 5:00 PM |
Keep copies of your qualification and experience certificates ready, because originals may be asked for at the interview. Do not skip the hard copy: the online form alone is not the whole process. Keep the DD receipt or counterfoil from your bank, and if you post the envelope, choose a service that gives you a tracking number. Posting on 30 October is risky, because the paper must reach the office by 5:00 PM that day. If you can, hand it over in person at Thycaud.
