Two Assistant posts and extended deadline
ICMR-NIREH Bhopal has two Group-B Assistant vacancies on deputation. The original circular is dated 17 September 2026; a later extension moves receipt of applications to 18 November 2026 at 5 pm. Use the extension together with the original notice rather than calculate a fresh deadline from the first circular. The appointment is intended for eligible serving personnel, not for open-market graduates seeking their first administrative job.
Eligible organizations and service routes
Officers must belong to Central/State Government, autonomous bodies or PSUs. The first route is an analogous regular post with a minimum three-year bachelor's degree from a recognized institution and working computer knowledge. The alternative is ten years' regular service as a Level-4 Upper Division Clerk, with the same degree and computer conditions. MS Office/PowerPoint knowledge is named. ICMR departmental officers are excluded from deputation under the circular.
Important pay-level and age rules
A pay level obtained through ACP/MACP is personal to the officer and is not accepted as the substantive post level for eligibility. This distinction matters when assessing the UDC service route. The upper age is 56 on the last application-receipt date, with the applicable qualification and other eligibility conditions also assessed at closing. Applicants should ask their establishment section to confirm service particulars rather than relying only on the pay level shown on a recent payslip.
Pay, tenure and posting
The Assistant posts carry Level 6, ₹35,400–1,12,400. Deputation begins for two years, with extension possible for administrative requirements and competent-authority approval. It can also be ended under the notice's terms. The seats are intended for NIREH Bhopal, although the circular reserves the authority to post selected personnel elsewhere. Do not treat the salary range as a guaranteed take-home amount or the possible extension as a promised longer tenure.
Proper-channel documents
The cadre authority must forward Annexure-I with NOC, cadre clearance, vigilance clearance, integrity certificate, attested APARs for the preceding five years, ten-year major/minor penalty details, verified service particulars and certified educational/experience records. Officers already on deputation require forwarding by their parent cadre with the prescribed clearances. An advance personal copy can be sent, but it is considered only when the proper-channel file and necessary clearances arrive.
Postal destination and receipt requirement
Send the complete application to the Director, ICMR National Institute for Research in Environmental Health, Bhopal Bypass Road, Bhauri, Bhopal 462030, Madhya Pradesh. Mark the envelope for Assistant on Deputation at ICMR-NIREH Bhopal. The extended receipt deadline is 18 November at 5 pm IST. An incomplete, late or improperly routed file will not be considered, so allow time for both departmental forwarding and delivery rather than relying on last-day dispatch.
Interview and future notices
Shortlisted officers may be called for an online or offline interview, with date and time communicated later. Interview travel, daily allowance and accommodation are not supplied. The institute can verify records, apply the recruitment/deputation rules and amend or withdraw the vacancy. Read updates on the NIREH and ICMR websites. No fixed written-test syllabus is provided in this deputation circular and none should be inferred from direct-recruitment Assistant examinations.
Practical file review
Application guidance: prepare a service chronology that states regular grade, appointment mode, dates and actual administrative work. Check it against APAR periods and the forwarding certificate before the department dispatches the file. Make the current employment/deputation status explicit, preserve the final file copy and record delivery tracking. These planning steps help prevent missing a clearance or using an ineligible ACP/MACP-based claim; they do not replace Annexure-I or employer certification.
