What Is the Eligibility for DH&FWS Jhargram Recruitment 2026?
Every post needs the same basic condition: you must be a permanent resident of West Bengal and able to read, write and speak Bengali. All essential qualifications must be completed by the last date of the online application.
| Post | Essential Qualification |
|---|---|
| Medical Officer (AYUSH) | BHMS / BAMS / BUMS degree from an institution recognised by the respective Council, compulsory internship completed at the time of applying, and Council registration certificate |
| Pharmacist | Two-year Diploma in Pharmacy (D-Pharm, Allopathic) from an institute approved by PCI/AICTE, with registration from the West Bengal Pharmacy Council |
| Staff Nurse | GNM training course from an institute recognised by the Indian Nursing Council, with registration from the West Bengal Nursing Council |
For BHMS, the qualification must be one included in the Second Schedule of the Homoeopathic Central Council Act, 1973. You must be registered in Part-A of the State Register of Homoeopathic Medical Practitioners (West Bengal) or in Part I of the Central Register. Graded BHMS degrees are also accepted.
Some extra qualifications earn extra marks. MD in Homeopathy, Ayurvedic or Unani helps Medical Officer candidates. B-Pharm and M-Pharm help Pharmacist candidates. Clinical experience in a government or private hospital helps Staff Nurse candidates. Experience counts only after you complete the required qualification. This is a medical and healthcare government job, so keep your council registration papers ready.

Increments are given as per NHM Guidelines. Pharmacist and Staff Nurse pay is stated as consolidated. The notification also says no TA/DA is given for document verification or selection, so plan your travel cost to the district. The job is contractual, which means it is an engagement under NHM and not a regular government post. Even so, a posting under a national health programme gives you useful public health experience that you can show in later applications.
What Is the Selection Process for DH&FWS Jhargram Recruitment 2026?
Selection is by merit marks out of 100. Marks are given in proportion to the percentage you scored. They are worked out without the additional subject, are not rounded off, and run to two decimal places.
| Post | Marks Distribution |

| Staff Nurse | Class 10 or equivalent: 30 / Class 12 or equivalent: 30 / GNM: 20 / Clinical experience: 20 |
For Staff Nurse experience marks, 1 to under 2 years earns 5 marks, 2 to under 3 years earns 10, 3 to under 4 years earns 15, and 4 years or more earns 20. At document verification, you must show the original certificates along with the printed online registration form. Without the printed form, you will not be entertained for verification. A candidate found ineligible at any step will not be called for later stages. Since marks decide everything, a strong Class 10, Class 12 and degree record matters more than anything else here.
