Viral diagnostics work at newer AIIMS campuses rarely opens two funded project seats at once. All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Kalyani, a statutory body under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, has invited applications for two project staff posts in its Viral Research & Diagnostic Laboratory (VRDL) under the Department of Microbiology.

The drive covers Scientist B (Medical) and Laboratory Technician, one seat each, at the Kalyani campus in Nadia, West Bengal. Advertisement No. AIIMSK/MICRO/VRDL/E 1250 is dated 05 September 2026. Applications must reach projectaiimsk@gmail.com by 16 September 2026, 11:59 PM.

This is not a regular AIIMS cadre vacancy. Tenure is purely contractual for six months and may be extended only on performance and project need, up to the end of the VRDL project. No hostel is provided. Only the advertised emoluments are payable.

Who Should Apply?

Map your qualification to the exact post before filling the form. The official form allows only one post per application.

• MBBS from a recognised university/institution → Scientist B (Medical) – 1 post
• Preferred (weightage, not mandatory) for Scientist B: MD/DNB/DM/MDS in a related subject from a UGC-recognised university; PhD in a related subject; postdoctoral research or training; work in virology, infectious-disease diagnostics, molecular diagnostics, disease surveillance, biomedical research, NABL settings, or computer applications. An MD/DNB/DM/MDS in a relevant subject is treated as three years’ experience and gets priority over other candidates.
• 10+2 (Science) with DMLT/MLT, or B.Sc. (Medical Laboratory Technology / Life Sciences) → Laboratory Technician – 1 post
• Preferred (not mandatory) for Laboratory Technician: work in a virology laboratory or clinical/research microbiology lab, especially sample processing, serology, PCR/RT-PCR and molecular diagnostics, plus computer applications.

Who cannot apply: Candidates above 45 years (the notification prints no category-wise extended ages). Applicants who cannot work on-site at AIIMS Kalyani for a six-month project contract. Anyone unwilling to follow VRDL personal vaccination norms set by the Principal Investigator, except where a Medical Board at AIIMS Kalyani certifies a clinical exemption.

No West Bengal domicile condition is printed. Indian candidates who meet the qualification can apply. Serving employees should be ready with employer permission if their parent organisation later asks for it at joining; the notification does not demand a NOC at the email stage.

Important Dates

No extension is announced. Late emails will not be considered. No individual call or SMS is promised before the shortlist goes live.

Quick Overview – AIIMS Kalyani Scientist B 2026

What Posts Are Available?

Two funded seats sit inside the same VRDL unit. Scientist B is the medical-scientific post and will draw a smaller, MBBS-qualified pool. Laboratory Technician is open to DMLT/MLT diploma holders and B.Sc. (MLT / Life Sciences) graduates, so competition there is usually wider. Category-wise reservation (UR/OBC/SC/ST/EWS/PwBD) is not printed in this advertisement.

✅ Confirmed: two contractual seats, advertised pay with 30% HRA, email mode, 45-year upper age limit, offline written test and/or interview.
❓ Not specified: category roster, written-test syllabus, minimum age, age cut-off date, application fee amount (none is listed).

Eligibility – Education, Age & Domicile

Scientist B (Medical) — mandatory vs preferred

• Mandatory: MBBS from a recognised university/institution.
• Preferred: postgraduate qualifications and experience in virology, infectious-diseases diagnostics, molecular diagnostics, disease surveillance or biomedical research. Desirable extras include MD/DNB/DM/MDS or Ph.D. in a related subject, postdoctoral work, NABL-lab exposure and computer applications. Relevant MD/DNB/DM/MDS counts as three years’ experience and is prioritised.

Laboratory Technician — mandatory vs preferred

• Mandatory: 10+2 (Science) with DMLT/MLT or B.Sc. in Medical Laboratory Technology / Life Sciences.
• Preferred: laboratory experience in sample processing, serology/PCR/RT-PCR and molecular diagnostics; virology or clinical/research microbiology work; computer applications.

Use our Experience Calculator if you are converting overlapping hospital and research periods into a single duration for the form.

No state domicile bar is stated. Final-year or result-awaited candidates are not given a separate window; the notification expects the listed qualification to be in hand when you apply.

What Is the Age Limit?

Both posts carry an upper age limit of 45 years. The minimum age is not printed. Category-wise relaxation years are also not printed, so do not assume +3/+5/+10 from general government tables unless a later notice says so.

Age reckoning date is not specified. Use the last date (16 September 2026) as a working reference and confirm before you email.

Examples:
✅ A 44-year-old UR candidate born on 17 September 1982 — eligible (within the 45-year limit as on 16 September 2026, if that date is used).
❌ A 46-year-old UR candidate born on 16 September 1980 — not eligible (exceeds the maximum age by 1 year).

Use our Age Eligibility Calculator to check instantly.

What Is the Remuneration for Scientist B in Kalyani?

Pay is project emoluments, not 7th CPC Level pay with DA increments.

Claim + proof: ₹87,100 for Scientist B is ₹67,000 basic-equivalent + 30% of ₹67,000 as HRA (₹20,100). The notification states that no other allowances except the consolidated salary will be admissible. Hostel and accommodation are not provided.

These figures are indicative. TDS depends on your total annual income and declarations. Check an estimate with our Income Tax Calculator. This calculator provides an indicative estimate. The engagement letter and income-tax rules prevail.

Leave follows the DHR VRDL Scheme leave policy, not standard AIIMS earned-leave tables.

What Is the Application Fee?

No application fee is mentioned in Advertisement No. AIIMSK/MICRO/VRDL/E 1250. Do not pay anyone who calls or messages asking for a processing charge.

How to Apply by Email?

There is no Samarth / Google Form portal for this cycle. AIIMS Kalyani accepts VRDL applications only at projectaiimsk@gmail.com until 16 September 2026, 11:59 PM.

1. Download the AIIMS Kalyani VRDL Scientist B & Lab Technician September 2026 PDF. The application proforma is inside the same file.
2. Tick only one post: Scientist B (Medical) or Laboratory Technician.
3. Fill personal details in BLOCK letters: name, parents’ names, date of birth, gender, category, PAN, Aadhaar, mobile, email, current and permanent address. Affix a passport photograph on the form.
4. Enter education (board/university, course, year, % or CGPA, division) and professional/research experience with exact from–to dates.
5. Merge, in this order, into one PDF: filled, signed form + Date of Birth proof + Class 10 + Class 12 + graduation/diploma + highest qualification + experience certificates + caste/EWS/PwBD certificate if applicable + photo ID + any other relevant paper. Mark page numbers as the checklist asks.
6. Email subject line example: Application for Scientist B (Medical) – VRDL – [Your Full Name] or Application for Laboratory Technician – VRDL – [Your Full Name].
7. Name the file clearly: VRDL_ScientistB_YourName_2026.pdf (or LabTechnician). Keep the mail under about 5 MB. Send during working hours if you can, and save the sent mail copy plus delivery receipt.
8. Watch aiimskalyani.edu.in for the shortlist. The institute will not send a personal interview call to every applicant.

If you meet both posts’ criteria, send two separate emails with two separate forms. Do not tick both boxes on one sheet.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Ticking both posts on a single form (the note says “tick any one only”).
• Splitting certificates across several attachments instead of one ordered PDF.
• Using a subject line with no post name, so the mailbox cannot sort your file.
• Waiting for a phone call. Shortlist, date and venue appear only on the website.
• Treating this as a regular AIIMS appointment and expecting hostel, DA or NPS from day one.
• Skipping the vaccination declaration on the form. The PI can require VRDL personal vaccination unless the AIIMS Kalyani Medical Board records a clinical exception.

এআইআইএমএস কল্যাণী সায়েন্টিস্ট বি ও ল্যাব টেকনিশিয়ান ভর্তি ২০২৬ – ২ পদে ইমেল আবেদন

এআইআইএমএস কল্যাণীর মাইক্রোবায়োলজি বিভাগের ভাইরাল রিসার্চ অ্যান্ড ডায়াগনস্টিক ল্যাবরেটরি (VRDL) দুটি চুক্তিভিত্তিক প্রকল্প পদ খুলেছে। সায়েন্টিস্ট বি (মেডিক্যাল) এবং ল্যাবরেটরি টেকনিশিয়ান—প্রতিটিতে একটি করে আসন। আবেদন করতে হবে ইমেলে। শেষ সময় ১৬ সেপ্টেম্বর ২০২৬, রাত ১১:৫৯। কল্যাণী, নদিয়া ক্যাম্পাসেই কাজ। এটি নিয়মিত এআইআইএমএস ক্যাডার পদ নয়।

কে আবেদন করতে পারবেন?
সায়েন্টিস্ট বি পদে স্বীকৃত বিশ্ববিদ্যালয় থেকে এমবিবিএস থাকতে হবে। ভাইরোলজি, সংক্রামক রোগ নির্ণয়, মলিকুলার ডায়াগনস্টিকস বা বায়োমেডিক্যাল গবেষণায় এমডি/ডিএনবি/ডিএম/এমডিএস বা পিএইচডি থাকলে অগ্রাধিকার। ল্যাব টেকনিশিয়ানের জন্য সায়েন্স নিয়ে উচ্চ মাধ্যমিকের সঙ্গে ডিএমএলটি/এমএলটি, অথবা বি.এসসি. (এমএলটি বা লাইফ সায়েন্সেস) লাগবে। দুটি পদেই সর্বোচ্চ বয়স ৪৫ বছর। পশ্চিমবঙ্গ ডোমিসাইল বাধ্যতামূলক বলে বিজ্ঞপ্তিতে লেখা নেই।

বেতন ও নির্বাচন কেমন?
সায়েন্টিস্ট বি পাবেন ₹৬৭,০০০ + ৩০% এইচআরএ। ল্যাব টেকনিশিয়ান পাবেন ₹২৮,০০০ + ৩০% এইচআরএ। অন্য ভাতা নেই, হোস্টেলও নেই। প্রথম মেয়াদ ছয় মাস; পারফরম্যান্স ও প্রকল্পের প্রয়োজনে বাড়তে পারে। শর্টলিস্টের পর প্রয়োজন হলে লিখিত পরীক্ষা এবং/অথবা সাক্ষাৎকার শুধু অফলাইনে হবে। তালিকা ও তারিখ aiimskalyani.edu.in-এ প্রকাশিত হবে। আলাদা ফোন কল যাবে না।

আবেদন কীভাবে করবেন?
একই বিজ্ঞপ্তির ভিতরের ফর্ম পূরণ করুন। একটি পদ টিক করুন। সব সার্টিফিকেট এক পিডিএফে মিলিয়ে পাঠান projectaiimsk@gmail.com-এ। বিষয় লাইনে পদের নাম ও নিজের নাম লিখুন। পাঠানো মেইল সেভ রাখুন। বিস্তারিত ও আপডেট: aiimskalyani.edu.in

How Are Candidates Selected?

Selection is a chain of stages, not a single interview day.

1. Application screening of the emailed form, degrees and experience certificates.
2. Shortlist published on the AIIMS Kalyani website. No individual communication.
3. Written test (if required) and/or interview, both offline only.
4. Document verification of originals and an updated CV at the venue.
5. Result on the website; selected candidates also get an email.

The written-test syllabus, marks and negative marking are not in this advertisement. If a test is held, details should appear with the shortlist. Mere possession of the minimum qualification does not guarantee a call. The Selection Committee’s decision is final. No TA/DA is paid.

Canvassing leads to disqualification. False statements can end in removal even after joining.

Why Does AIIMS Kalyani Matter?

All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Kalyani is an Institute of National Importance on the NH-34 Connector at Basantapur, Saguna, in Nadia district, West Bengal. It was set up under the Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana to add tertiary care and teaching capacity in eastern India.

The VRDL sits in the Department of Microbiology and is part of the national viral research and diagnostic network funded through the Department of Health Research. Day-to-day work is outbreak testing, serology and molecular assays, not a general OPD posting. Candidates often search “AIIMS Kalyani vacancy 2026”, “AIIMS Kalyani career” and “VRDL Scientist B salary” because the campus is close to the Kolkata–Kalyani belt and the VRDL tag signals hands-on diagnostics.

Explore more on our AIIMS Kalyani organisation page, healthcare sector hub and West Bengal government jobs.

The honest limit: this engagement is project money. Funding withdrawal or tenure end closes the contract automatically. It is useful exposure, not a back door into regular AIIMS Group A/B cadre.

The SahisarkariJobs.in Analyst’s Take

The closest tabs most applicants already have open are other DHR VRDL/MRU project seats, not bank SO drives. AIIMS Guwahati’s VRDL Scientist B and Lab Technician cycle and AIIMS Kalyani’s own MRU Research Scientist B/C & Lab Technician notices pay in the same band, but this VRDL Lab Technician line (₹28,000 + 30% HRA) is higher than the ₹20,000 + HRA often seen on the institute’s MRU Lab Technician seat. Scientist B here is medical (MBBS), whereas several sister AIIMS VRDL seats are non-medical M.Sc./Ph.D. tracks. If your degree is M.Sc. only, this Scientist B seat is not for you.

Best fit: an MBBS doctor who already runs PCR/serology benches or has an MD/DNB in microbiology, virology or related diagnostics and wants six months of structured VRDL work near Kolkata. Also a strong fit for a DMLT/B.Sc. MLT technician with RT-PCR hours who can live in the Kalyani–Nadia belt without institute housing.

Skip this if you need permanence, NPS or campus quarters. A six-month contract that can end with the project will not replace a NORCET Nursing Officer post, a regular AIIMS Technician cadre vacancy, or a state health-service appointment.

Practical tip: Draft the single PDF tonight and mail it 48 hours early. Attach the vaccination declaration already signed. Then set a calendar reminder to refresh aiimskalyani.edu.in twice a week; that website, not your inbox, is how you will learn the interview date.

Expect roughly 4–8 weeks from the last date to joining on similar AIIMS project drives, though this notice gives no timetable.

What Documents Are Required?

Keep self-attested copies in the same order as the official enclosure list, then carry originals to the interview.

1. Date of Birth certificate
2. Matriculation / Class 10 certificate
3. Class 12 / Higher Secondary certificate
4. Graduation/diploma certificate (MBBS, DMLT/MLT or B.Sc. as applicable)
5. Highest degree certificates (MD/DNB/DM/MDS/Ph.D. if claimed)
6. Experience certificates with dates
7. Caste / EWS / PwBD certificate, if applicable
8. Photo identity proof (Aadhaar / Passport / Voter Card / PAN)
9. Updated CV and passport photograph on the form
10. Any other relevant certificate

Document alert: Experience letters must show institution name, post held and from–to dates. A one-line “worked in lab” note is weak when shortlisting is based on virology and PCR exposure. Category certificates should be current and in the candidate’s name.

What Are the Service Conditions?

• Purely temporary and contractual for 6 months.
• Extendable on performance and project requirements up to termination of the project.
• Contract ends on tenure completion or withdrawal of funding.
• Either side may terminate with 30 days’ notice or salary in lieu.
• Leave as per DHR VRDL Scheme policy.
• No hostel or accommodation.
• No allowances beyond the advertised consolidated emoluments.
• Institute discipline applies. Disputes fall under Kolkata jurisdiction.
• Appointees must follow personal vaccination norms required by the VRDL PI, unless a clinical exemption is validated by the Medical Board at AIIMS Kalyani.

What Happens After Selection?

1. Your name appears on the AIIMS Kalyani website, and you receive an email offer for the VRDL post.
2. You report at the Department of Microbiology, AIIMS Kalyani, with originals, and complete document verification.
3. You sign a six-month project contract under the PI, Dr Sayantan Banerjee, and join the VRDL bench (sample processing, serology, PCR/RT-PCR or medical-scientific work, as assigned).
4. You arrange your own stay in Kalyani / Nadia / the Kolkata suburban belt; the institute will not allot a hostel.
5. Performance is reviewed against project need. Extension, if any, is written and time-bound. It is not absorption into regular AIIMS service.
6. On tenure end or funding stop, the contract closes. Keep experience certificates and relieving papers; they matter for the next ICMR/DHR/AIIMS project application.

There is no published promotion ladder on this advertisement. Growth after this seat is usually the next project Scientist or technician contract, or a separate regular recruitment.

FAQs – AIIMS Kalyani Scientist B 2026

What is the last date to apply for AIIMS Kalyani Scientist B 2026?

16 September 2026, 11:59 PM. Email the single PDF to projectaiimsk@gmail.com. Late applications are not considered. No extension is announced as of 09 September 2026.

What is the age limit for AIIMS Kalyani Scientist B?

45 years upper limit for both Scientist B (Medical) and Laboratory Technician. Minimum age and category-wise extra years are not printed. Do not assume standard +3 or +5 unless a later official note says so.

Is there an exam for AIIMS Kalyani Scientist B, or is it interview-based?

It depends on applicant volume. The institute may hold a written test if required, then an interview, both offline only. Shortlist, date and venue appear on aiimskalyani.edu.in. No individual interview letter is promised.

What is the salary of AIIMS Kalyani Scientist B?

Scientist B is advertised at ₹67,000 + 30% HRA (about ₹87,100 gross). Laboratory Technician is ₹28,000 + 30% HRA (about ₹36,400 gross). No other allowance is payable. In-hand depends on TDS.

Can final-year students or result-awaited candidates apply for AIIMS Kalyani 2026?

No clear window is given. The notice lists completed MBBS or 10+2 Science plus DMLT/MLT or B.Sc. (MLT / Life Sciences). Safer to apply only if the certificate is already in hand by the last date.

Is AIIMS Kalyani Scientist B a permanent government job?

No. This is a six-month VRDL project contract, extendable only till the project lasts. It does not create a regular AIIMS cadre claim, pension or automatic absorption.

Can candidates from other states apply for AIIMS Kalyani recruitment?

Yes. No West Bengal domicile condition is written in this advertisement. You must be willing to work at the Kalyani campus. Arrange your own housing.

Where will I be posted if I get selected for AIIMS Kalyani Scientist B?

At the VRDL, Department of Microbiology, AIIMS Kalyani, Nadia, West Bengal. This notice does not offer multi-city choice or transfer.

Is there any application fee for these VRDL posts?

No fee is listed in the official advertisement. Do not transfer money to any private number or “agent” who claims to move your file.

Will I get hostel at AIIMS Kalyani on this contract?

No. The terms say no hostel or accommodation will be provided. Budget rent in Kalyani, Saguna or nearby towns before you accept the offer.

What are the disadvantages of this VRDL project job?

The honest downside is tenure risk. Six months can end when funding stops; there is no extra allowance beyond the printed sum, and you cannot count on campus housing. Treat it as paid diagnostics experience, not a career lock.

Is a medical laboratory job in West Bengal worth a short contract?

It can be, if you want VRDL PCR and serology hours on an AIIMS letterhead. It is a weak choice if you already hold a longer NHM or regular state lab post with housing and leave benefits.

How do I check my AIIMS Kalyani application status?

There is no login tracker. Watch the official website for the shortlisted list and interview date. Selected names are also emailed after the result is published.
