AIIMS Rishikesh Project Technical Support Recruitment 2026 – Apply by Email for 3 Posts

Vacancies: 3 · Posts: 2 designations · Type: Contractual · Mode: Email · Fee: Nil · Apply: 27 August–10 September 2026 · Remuneration: ₹20,000–₹28,000 + HRA · Selection: Shortlist + Skill Test + Interview · Location: Rishikesh, Uttarakhand

While most AIIMS Rishikesh openings this year target residents and Group A/B cadres, the Multi-Disciplinary Research Unit – Centre of Research Excellence (MRU-CoRE) needs three bench-level technicians for DHR-funded laboratory work. All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Rishikesh, under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, is hiring on an 11-month contract at the Rishikesh campus in Uttarakhand.

Two seats are Project Technical Support-III (Senior Technician): one for molecular biology, histology, cell culture or general laboratory work, and one for data entry and data management. One seat is Project Technical Support-II (Technician) for diploma or graduate laboratory staff.

Applications go only by email to the MRU nodal officer. The last date is 10 September 2026. There is no written exam. Shortlisting, a skill test and an in-person interview decide selection. This is project manpower, not a regular AIIMS post.

What Posts Are Available?

Use our Experience Calculator to check whether your post-qualification months add up before you mail the form.

Eligibility notes

Lab Senior Technician (PTS-III): Experience should map to DNA/RNA extraction, PCR, RT-PCR, electrophoresis, NGS assistance, ELISA, tissue processing, microtomy, H&E / special stains, IHC assistance, mammalian cell culture, aseptic technique, or general microbiology/translational lab support, as listed in the notice.

Data Senior Technician (PTS-III): The notice asks for a postgraduate degree plus three years in data entry, data management and data handling. It does not list acceptable PG titles. Degrees that commonly fit life-science data work include M.Sc (Life Sciences / Biotechnology / Bioinformatics / Biostatistics), MCA and M.Sc (Computer Science). Confirm fit from your actual work, not the degree title alone.

PTS-II: Hands-on wet-lab or general laboratory support is expected. A degree without the stated years of experience does not substitute the diploma-plus-five-years route.

Desirable for all domains: biomedical/translational project exposure, biosafety habits, MS Office / database entry, and documentation discipline.

✅ Confirmed: 3 posts, two designations, domain split, DHR/MRU consolidated pay, 11-month contract, email mode. ❓ Not specified: category-wise roster, exact HRA percentage, printed advertisement number, exact age-reckoning date, interview date.

What Is the Age Limit?

Relaxation follows Government of India norms as stated in the notice. The PDF does not print a separate age-reckoning date.

Examples: ✅ A 34-year-old UR candidate born on 11 September 1991 — eligible for PTS-III (within the 35-year limit if age is counted on 10 September 2026). ❌ A 31-year-old UR candidate born on 09 September 1995 — not eligible for PTS-II (exceeds the 30-year limit by 1 year if age is counted on 10 September 2026).

Use our Age Eligibility Calculator to check instantly.

What Is the Project Technical Support Salary in Rishikesh?

The notification quotes “28000/= + HRA” and “20000/= + HRA”. It does not print the HRA rate. Other recent AIIMS Rishikesh project notices have used 10% HRA; Y-class central rates are 20%. Treat the band above as indicative, not an offer letter.

No DA, NPS, PF, LTC, medical reimbursement or special allowance is promised. The notice says selected staff get only the DHR/MRU consolidated emoluments. Central or state tax will be deducted at source. At this pay level many candidates pay little or no income tax if this is their only income; actual TDS depends on total annual income from all sources.

This is not 7th CPC Level pay. Do not compare it with regular AIIMS technician scales.

What Is the Application Fee?

No application fee is mentioned for any category. Do not pay anyone who claims to “process” this form.

How to Apply by Email?

Applications are accepted only by email. There is no online portal.

1. Download the AIIMS Rishikesh MRU-CoRE notification PDF and the prescribed Project Technical Support application form.
2. Fill the form completely. Unsigned or incomplete forms are rejected without further mail.
3. Write a short cover letter naming the exact post and domain (example: “PTS-III – Data management” or “PTS-III – Molecular Biology”).
4. Attach a CV plus self-attested copies of qualifications, experience, ID and a recent photograph.
5. Keep the combined PDF under 5 MB. Name the file Resume_YourName_PTS-III_2026.pdf (or PTS-II).
6. Subject line: Application for Project Technical Support-III (Senior Technician) – Molecular Biology – Your Name (change the post/domain).
7. Email to mru.aiimsrishikesh@aiimsrishikesh.edu.in addressed to Dr. Nilotpal Chowdhury, Nodal Officer, Multidisciplinary Research Unit, All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Rishikesh, Rishikesh 249203.
8. Send during working hours and save the sent-mail copy with attachments. Last date: 10 September 2026.

Serving government / statutory / research-organisation staff must send the application with NOC through proper channel and may send an advance copy by the same date.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Mailing only a CV without the prescribed form. The notice accepts only the prescribed format.
2. Using a vague subject such as “job application” or “PTS post”. Two PTS-III domains exist. If the subject does not name the domain, screening can miss you.
3. Counting internship or unpaid lab rotation as the required 2 / 3 / 5 years. Experience must be in the relevant subject or field.
4. Sending from a government office without NOC and assuming the advance copy is enough if the proper-channel copy never arrives.
5. Expecting TA for the interview. The notice says travel will not be reimbursed.

How Are Candidates Selected?

Selection is a three-stage process, not a single interview call.

1. Shortlisting based on qualifications and stated experience.
2. Skill test for shortlisted candidates (wet-lab or data skills matching the domain).
3. In-person interview at AIIMS Rishikesh.

No written CBT is mentioned. Interview date and venue will be sent only to shortlisted applicants. No travel allowance is paid. Ties and merit rules beyond shortlisting-plus-skill-plus-interview are not spelled out; they will follow the procedure used by the MRU nodal officer.

Why Does AIIMS Rishikesh Matter?

AIIMS Rishikesh is an Institute of National Importance on the Himalayan foothills of Uttarakhand. It runs teaching hospital services and extra-mural research under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. MRU-CoRE is the DHR-supported multidisciplinary research unit on campus. These three seats sit inside that unit, not in the regular technician cadre. See more on AIIMS Rishikesh, healthcare jobs and Uttarakhand government jobs.

Candidates search this page for “AIIMS Rishikesh vacancy 2026”, “AIIMS Rishikesh project jobs”, “MRU CoRE technician”, and “project technical support salary”. The institute brand is strong for a CV line in biomedical research. The honest limit is scale: three contractual seats, 11-month tenure, and no claim on regular AIIMS service. If your goal is a pensionable technician post, watch the institute’s Group C/B notifications instead of this scheme.

The SahisarkariJobs.in Analyst’s Take

ICMR/DHR project technical support at AIIMS campuses is a crowded circuit this year. The closest comparison is not a regular AIIMS Lab Technician Level-6 post. It is other MRU and extramural PTS-II/III seats at AIIMS Rishikesh itself, AIIMS Delhi MRU, and PGI Chandigarh project labs. Those drives use the same ₹20,000 / ₹28,000 + HRA band and the same “no regular claim” clause. What changes here is the split: one of two Senior Technician seats is a data job, so a wet-lab M.Sc. without data proof should not treat both PTS-III rows as interchangeable.

Best fit: technicians who already run PCR, histology or cell-culture benches, or postgraduates who have spent three years owning clinical-research spreadsheets and lab databases, and who want an 11-month AIIMS letter for the next fellowship or project jump.

Who should skip: applicants hunting a 7th CPC technician scale, hostel, LTC or absorption. Also skip if you cannot reach Rishikesh for an unpaid skill test and interview on short notice.

Practical tip: Apply as one domain only. Write the domain in the subject line and put the matching experience bullets on page one of the CV. A mixed “I can do PCR and Excel” mail for both PTS-III seats often looks unfocused against candidates who document one bench.

Expect roughly 6–10 weeks from the last date to joining on similar AIIMS project cycles, though this notice does not freeze a calendar.

What Documents Are Required?

• Prescribed application form, signed, with photograph
• Cover letter naming post and domain
• Curriculum vitae
• Self-attested educational certificates and marksheets (10th, 12th, diploma / B.Sc / PG as applicable)
• Experience certificates showing organisation, role, dates and duties
• Photo ID (Aadhaar / PAN / Passport)
• Caste / PwBD / EWS certificate if claiming relaxation
• NOC and proper-channel papers for serving employees
• Any biosafety, GCP or instrument-training certificates (helpful, not mandated)

Document alert: Experience letters that only say “worked as trainee” without dates and duties are the usual reason project applications die at shortlisting.

Service Conditions

Initial appointment is 11 months, purely contractual, under MRU and DHR rules. The post ends automatically when the term expires unless a fresh engagement letter is issued. Re-engagement depends on performance and DHR budget.

Either side may end the contract with one month’s notice or one month’s pay. Continuous leave of seven days or more leads to automatic relief. Appointees are not regular employees of AIIMS Rishikesh and cannot count this service as continuous government service for later AIIMS or Government of India posts. No extra financial or non-financial facility is payable beyond the consolidated DHR emoluments. Work allocation comes from the Nodal Officer, MRU.

What Happens After Selection?

1. Shortlisted names are called for skill test and interview; keep original certificates ready.
2. After selection, you sign a willingness / acceptance letter and a contractual agreement.
3. Joining is at MRU, AIIMS Rishikesh, Rishikesh – 249203, on the date given in the offer.
4. You will work in the domain assigned (molecular, histology, cell culture, general lab or data), not on a self-chosen research topic.
5. Performance is reviewed during the 11-month term. Weak performance can end the contract with one month’s notice.
6. If DHR sanction and your work both continue, the unit may offer another fixed term. That is a fresh contract, not confirmation.
7. When the project or term ends, exit is clean. There is no absorption queue into regular AIIMS technician posts.

FAQs – AIIMS Rishikesh Project Technical Support 2026

Q1: What is the last date to apply for AIIMS Rishikesh Project Technical Support 2026?

A: 10 September 2026. Email the prescribed form, cover letter and CV to mru.aiimsrishikesh@aiimsrishikesh.edu.in by that date. No extension is announced on the project jobs page as of 30 August 2026.

Q2: What is the age limit for AIIMS Rishikesh Project Technical Support?

A: 35 years for Senior Technician (PTS-III) and 30 years for Technician (PTS-II). OBC gets 3 years, SC/ST 5 years and PwBD 10 years on those ceilings, as per GoI norms. Treat 10 September 2026 as the working cut-off unless the call letter states another date.

Q3: Is there an exam for AIIMS Rishikesh Project Technical Support, or is it interview-based?

A: No written exam is mentioned. The institute shortlists on qualifications and experience, then holds a skill test and an in-person interview. Only shortlisted candidates are called. Travel cost is not reimbursed.

Q4: What is the salary of this Project Technical Support post?

A: ₹28,000 + HRA for PTS-III and ₹20,000 + HRA for PTS-II. If HRA is 10–20%, indicative gross is about ₹30,800–₹33,600 and ₹22,000–₹24,000. This is DHR consolidated pay, not a 7th CPC technician scale.

Q5: Can final-year students or result-awaited candidates apply for this recruitment?

A: No. The notice asks for a completed three-year degree, postgraduate degree or diploma plus the stated years of experience. It does not allow qualification “by interview date.” Produce certificates with the application.

Q6: Is AIIMS Rishikesh Project Technical Support a permanent government job?

A: No. It is an 11-month DHR/MRU contract. The notice says appointees are not regular AIIMS employees and cannot count this tenure as continuous government service for later regular posts.

Q7: Can candidates from other states apply for this recruitment?

A: Yes. No Uttarakhand domicile condition is written in the notice. You must be willing to work at AIIMS Rishikesh for the full term and attend the interview there.

Q8: Where will I be posted if I get selected?

A: At the Multidisciplinary Research Unit, AIIMS Rishikesh, Rishikesh – 249203. No other campus or home-district option is listed.

Q9: Is there any application fee for these project posts?

A: No fee is mentioned for UR, OBC, SC, ST or PwBD. Ignore calls or messages that demand a processing charge. Report such demands on cybercrime.gov.in.

Q10: Will this contract help me get a regular AIIMS technician post later?

A: Not automatically. The notice bars treating this service as continuous AIIMS or Government of India service. The letter still helps a research CV if you document techniques and datasets properly.

Q11: What are the disadvantages of AIIMS project technical support jobs?

A: The honest downside is pay and tenure. You get a mid-₹20,000s to low-₹30,000s consolidated packet, one-month notice either way, and no PF, NPS or absorption promise. Seven days of continuous leave can end the contract.

Q12: How much do project technicians earn in central medical research institutes?

A: ICMR/DHR PTS-II and PTS-III bands commonly sit at ₹20,000 + HRA and ₹28,000 + HRA. Regular AIIMS Lab Technicians on 7th CPC Level-6 draw a higher in-hand figure with DA and HRA, but those posts run through separate institute advertisements.

Q13: Is a medical research project contract worth it for MLT diploma holders?

A: It depends on your next step. For an MLT diploma holder who needs supervised PCR or histology hours before a larger ICMR or hospital role, an AIIMS MRU bench is useful. It is a poor substitute if you only want a pensionable Group C vacancy.
