What is the Selection Process for JIPMER Recruitment 2026?
| Posts | Stages |
|---|---|
| Technical Support-III, Technical Support-II, Nurse-II | Shortlisting on the application, CV and documents; then written test, skill test and interview |
| Research Scientist-III (Non-medical) | Written test (Epidemiology, Research Methodology, Biostatistics, Ethics); then interview (same subjects plus the study applied for) |
For the email posts, the list of eligible candidates will be shown on the JIPMER website, and the interview date and time will be notified after shortlisting. The notice leaves the written-test and skill-test topics blank, so no syllabus is available. Interviews may be held in person or by video call at the Project Investigator’s choice. For a video interview, you must arrange your own device with audio, camera and a good internet connection.
Only shortlisted candidates are called for the test or interview, and the Project Investigator’s decision is final. If applications are very many, stricter criteria than those listed may be used. No TA/DA is paid for attending the interview. Final selection is based on CV, application and written test or interview.
Technical Support-III applicants must say in the application whether they want to be considered for the extramural Project PhD stream. Selection to the post does not guarantee a PhD seat, which needs institutional approval, an additional written exam and the Project Investigator’s concurrence.
How to Apply for JIPMER Recruitment 2026 (Email and Walk-in)?
The process differs by post, so follow only the route for your post. Keep ready the filled application form, your CV and all certificates. A valid email ID and mobile number are compulsory.
Technical Support-III, Technical Support-II and Nurse-II (email)
- Fill in the prescribed application form mentioned in the notice.

Project Research Scientist-III (Non-medical) (walk-in)
Attend the walk-in interview on 29 October 2026 at the 3rd Floor, JISPH Building, JIPMER, Puducherry. The notice gives no reporting time. It also states that applications must be in the prescribed format with certificates, so carry the filled form, CV and certificates.
Rejection risks: applications not in the prescribed format will not be processed. Incomplete applications and those not fulfilling the essential criteria are likely to be summarily rejected, and a CV sent alone without the form and certificates will be rejected. Giving false information or canvassing leads to disqualification, or termination if found after engagement.
