How Many Vacancies are in NAM Pathanamthitta Recruitment 2026?
The notification lists three posts and shows “Anticipatory” in the vacancy column for each of them. It does not give a number for any post.

Please note one important line from the notice: the number of vacancies is only indicative and not guaranteed. NAM reserves the right to engage or not to engage persons as advertised. So apply with full effort, but understand that selection does not guarantee a fixed number of jobs. In simple words, the office is inviting applications for openings it expects to have, without promising a fixed count. Do not let this stop you — if you meet the eligibility, a strong application and a well-prepared interview still give you a real chance.
What is the Eligibility for NAM Pathanamthitta Recruitment 2026?
Each post has its own qualification. Check the one you are applying for very carefully, because the notice asks every applicant to decide their own eligibility before applying.
NAM Pathanamthitta Educational Qualification 2026
| Post | Required Qualification |
|---|---|
| Ayurveda Therapist (Male) | Ayurveda Therapist Course conducted by Govt. of Kerala / DAME, or one-year Ayurveda Panchakarma Technician Course conducted by CCRAS Cheruthuruthy |
| GNM Nurse | B.Sc Nursing approved by a recognised University, or GNM Nursing approved by a recognised Nursing School, with Kerala Nursing & Midwife Council registration |
| MPW (Janani Project) | Higher Secondary pass, computer skills and MS Office |
The Ayurveda Therapist post is for male candidates only, as the post name itself says. For the GNM Nurse post, the Kerala Nursing & Midwife Council registration is part of the requirement, so do not skip it. If you hold an equivalent qualification, you must attach an equivalency certificate with your application. Without it, your form will be rejected. The MPW post is a good option for 12th pass candidates, while the Therapist and Nurse posts suit people trained in medical and healthcare fields.

|---|---|
| Ayurveda Therapist (Male) | Not exceeding 40 years |

What is the Salary for NAM Pathanamthitta GNM Nurse, Therapist and MPW Posts 2026?
All three posts carry a fixed monthly consolidated remuneration. Consolidated means one fixed amount every month. The notification does not list separate allowances.
| Post | Monthly Consolidated Pay |
|---|---|
| Ayurveda Therapist (Male) | ₹14,700 |
| GNM Nurse | ₹17,850 |
| MPW (Janani Project) | ₹13,500 |
The GNM Nurse post pays the most at ₹17,850 per month. Since these are contract posts under a mission, think of them as a chance to gain real work experience in public health, which helps a lot in later government recruitments. The notice does not mention the length of the contract, so ask about it at the interview if it matters to you. Also remember that the pay is a fixed consolidated amount, so plan your travel and living costs around this figure.
What is the Selection Process for NAM Pathanamthitta Recruitment 2026?
The notice says the mode of recruitment shall be an interview. If there are 20 or more applicants for a particular post, a written test will be held along with the interview. (The table in the notice words this as “if number of applicants exceeds 20”.)
| Post | Stage | Date |
|---|---|---|
| Ayurveda Therapist (Male) | Interview (written exam if applicants exceed 20) | 15 October 2026 |
| GNM Nurse | Interview (written exam if applicants exceed 20) | 16 October 2026 |
| MPW (Janani Project) | Written Exam | 17 October 2026 |
| MPW (Janani Project) | Interview for shortlisted candidates | 23 October (the notice prints the year as 2023) |
The MPW post has a fixed written exam on 17 October 2026, and only shortlisted candidates will be called for the interview. NAM sends all news about interviews and written exams only by e-mail, so check your inbox every day. If your post gets a written test, it will be announced only by e-mail, so a missed mail can mean a missed exam. Keep your basics of your own subject fresh — Ayurveda therapy procedures, nursing care, or computer and MS Office skills for MPW. For a good start, read our preparation strategy tips.
