What is the Eligibility for NAM Kottayam Physiotherapist, Therapist and Pharmacist Posts 2026?
Educational Qualification

| Therapist (Male) | Ayurveda Therapist Course conducted by Govt. of Keralam / DAME, or Ayurveda Panchakarma Technician Course of 1 year duration conducted by CCRAS Cheruthuruthy |
| Pharmacist (Homoeopathy) | CCP / NCP or Equivalent |
For the Physiotherapist post, a graduate degree in Physiotherapy is enough; a post-graduate degree is also accepted. The Therapist post is notified as Therapist (Male), so it is meant for male candidates.
If you hold an equivalent qualification instead of the exact one named, you must attach an equivalency certificate with your application. Without it, your application will be rejected. Check this before you post the envelope. For more jobs like these, see our medical and healthcare jobs page.

| Physiotherapist | ₹21,000 |
| Therapist (Male) | ₹14,700 |
| Pharmacist (Homoeopathy) | ₹14,700 |

What is the Selection Process for NAM Kottayam Recruitment 2026?
| Stage | Detail |
|---|---|
| Interview | Mode of recruitment for all three posts |
| Written test | Held along with the interview only if there are 20 or more applicants for a particular post |
So the main stage is an interview. If 20 or more people apply for the same post, a written test will also be held along with it. Since you cannot know how many people will apply, it is wise to revise your basic subject knowledge anyway.
The notification does not give a syllabus, so revise the main subjects of your own course. A Physiotherapist should go over the core subjects of the degree. A Therapist should be ready to explain the Ayurveda therapy procedures learnt in the course. A Pharmacist should revise the main subjects of the CCP / NCP course. Keep your original certificates ready, because your form details will be checked against them.
All calls for the interview or written test will come only by e-mail, to the e-mail ID you give in the form. Check your inbox and spam folder every day after you apply.

How to Apply for NAM Kottayam Recruitment 2026 Offline?
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Download the notification PDF from Essential Links. The “Applicant’s Profile” form is printed at the end of it. Use only this format |
| 2 | Fill every relevant field: post applied for, name, father/husband/guardian name, sex, age and date of birth, addresses, mobile, e-mail, marital status, qualifications and experience. Sign the declaration |
| 3 | Attach self-attested copies of certificates proving your age and educational qualification (and the equivalency certificate, if needed) |
| 4 | The notification does not mention any application fee or fee document to attach |
| 5 | Put the form in a sealed envelope and write “APPLICATION FOR THE POST OF” followed by the post name (Physiotherapist / Therapist (Male) / Pharmacist (Homoeopathy)) on the cover |
| 6 | Hand it over or send it by post to: The District Programme Manager, DPMSU, National AYUSH Mission, Inside Govt. Ayurveda Hospital, Palace Road, Vayaskara, Kottayam – 686001, so that it reaches before 5 PM on 12 October 2026 |
Applications are accepted only on working days, from 10 AM to 5 PM. The office letterhead gives the building as the District Ayurveda Hospital on the same Palace Road, Vayaskara address. If you are posting it, send it early, because a cover that arrives late is rejected. Give a personal e-mail ID and mobile number that will stay active until the whole process is over.
Before sealing the cover, check the form once more against your certificates: your name, date of birth and qualification must match exactly. Keep a photocopy of the filled form for yourself. If you send it by post, keep the postal receipt safely too. If you are applying for more than one post, the cover asks for one post name, so it is safer to send a separate application for each post.
