NAM Keralam Jobs 2026: Quality Consultant, Procurement Officer, Data Entry Operator & Other Posts
If you want a contract job in Kerala’s health sector, this one is worth a look.

Consolidated pay runs from ₹12,600 to ₹40,000 per month, and every post is on contract basis.
There is no online form here. You must send a filled application in a sealed envelope, by hand or by post, so it reaches Thiruvananthapuram by 27 October 2026, 5:00 PM.

What is the Eligibility for NAM Keralam Recruitment 2026?
Educational Qualification and Experience
The posts range from a 7th Pass sweeper job to postgraduate management roles, so there is something for different education levels. The two top pay levels need an MBA, MHA, MCA, M.Sc.-IT, BCA or AYUSH degree. Graduates with approved DCA/PGDCA can look at the Data Entry Operator post, and BCA holders can look at HMIS Manager. Match your own post carefully. Where the notification allows an equivalent qualification, you must attach an equivalency certificate.
| Post | Qualification | Experience |

| State Quality Consultant | MHA or equivalent | 2-3 years in hospital quality improvement |
| Procurement Officer | MBA or equivalent | 2-3 years as Procurement Officer and/or in e-Tender processing in the Government sector |

| Content Creator | Bachelor of AYUSH degree | Not stated |
| Data Entry Operator | Degree plus Govt. of Kerala approved DCA/PGDCA | Not stated |

What is the Salary for NAM Keralam Recruitment 2026?
Every post carries a consolidated monthly pay. The notification lists no other allowance, so treat these figures as the full amount.

The State Quality Consultant gets ₹30,000, the Data Entry Operator gets ₹17,000 and the Full Time Sweeper gets ₹12,600. As these are contract posts, do not expect the benefits of a regular government job unless the notification says so, and it does not.

| State Quality Consultant | ₹30,000 |
| Procurement Officer | ₹40,000 |
| HMIS Manager | ₹40,000 |
| Content Creator | ₹40,000 |

What is the Selection Process for NAM Keralam Recruitment 2026?
The notification says the mode of recruitment is an interview. There is no marks pattern or syllabus given.
| Stage | Detail |
|---|---|
| Interview | Main mode of recruitment for every post |
| Written test | Held along with the interview only if a post gets 20 or more applicants |
NAM will send news about the interview, written test and anything else only to the email ID you give in the form. Keep your email and mobile number active until the whole process ends. Candidates should also check the NAM Kerala website regularly for notices. Watch your inbox and spam folder closely after the last date. Carry the original certificates when you are called, since the details in your form must tally with the originals you produce. Revise your own subject and the work you have done, as the interview is the main stage.
How to Apply Offline for NAM Keralam Recruitment 2026?
Download the notification PDF from Essential Links below. The application format is attached to it, so print that format and do not make your own. A form in any other format is rejected, so do not retype it in a new layout or change the order of its fields. Fill it in neat handwriting or print, sign the declaration and add your photo where the format asks for it. Use the same email ID and mobile number you can keep active for weeks.
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Read the notification and confirm you meet the criteria for your post |
| 2 | Fill every field of the prescribed format, including post applied for, personal details, education table, experience table and declaration |

Applications are accepted only on working days, 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Post early, because anything received after 5:00 PM on 27-10-2026 is rejected. If you are posting from outside Thiruvananthapuram, send it by a tracked service at least a week ahead, since a form that reaches late is rejected. If you live nearby, hand-delivery on a working day before 5:00 PM is the safest way. Keep a photocopy of the complete application for yourself.
