✅ Confirmed: 12 contractual seats, consolidated monthly pay, Car Nicobar posting, interview in the first week of October 2026.
❓ Not specified: category-wise (UR/OBC/SC/ST/EWS) split, contract length in months, application fee, and upper age for Doctor (Part-Time).

Graduate and professional posts — 4 posts

Higher Secondary posts — 2 posts

Matric-level posts — 6 posts

Your qualifying exam marks do not replace the interview

There is no written test in this recruitment. The office will scrutinise applications, then call candidates for an interview in the first week of October 2026. Original marksheets and experience certificates must be produced at interview. A strong interview cannot fix a missing experience certificate or a missing DCA where the notice demands it.

What Is the Age Limit?

The notice does not print category-wise extended ages for SC, ST, OBC, EWS, PwBD or Ex-Servicemen. Do not assume +3 or +5 years unless a later official clarification says so.

Examples (40-year posts, reckoned as on 30 September 2026):
✅ A 39-year-old candidate born on 01 October 1986 — eligible (within the 40-year limit as on 30 September 2026).
❌ A 41-year-old candidate born on 30 September 1985 — not eligible (exceeds the maximum age by 1 year).

Use our Age Eligibility Calculator to check instantly.

For Accountant, Counsellor, Chowkidar and Ayah, also use the Experience Calculator to confirm that the one-year experience is complete before the last date.

What Is the Remuneration for Mission Vatsalya Posts in Nicobar?

Pay in this notice is consolidated monthly remuneration, not 7th CPC basic + DA + HRA. The figure printed against each post is the amount the office has advertised. There is no city-class HRA table in the PDF.

These amounts are the exact consolidated figures from F.No. A-120954/1/2024-DCPU-DCNIC-DCNIC_AN. They are not 7th CPC estimates. No DA, HRA, TA or NPS rate is printed. Actual credit can still change if the office deducts tax or statutory charges later. Hostel, canteen or transport is not promised in this notice.

Part-time Doctor pay at ₹9,930 is lower than the Nurse’s ₹11,916. That is by design in this advertisement, not an error in the table.

What Is the Application Fee?

The official vacancy notice does not prescribe any application fee for any category. Do not pay anyone who claims a “processing charge” on the phone or WhatsApp.

How to Apply?

Applications are offline only. There is no online portal for this notice.

1. Download the DCPU Nicobar Mission Vatsalya Vacancy Notice 2026 PDF from the Andaman and Nicobar Administration vacancy list. The prescribed application form is printed in the same PDF.

2. Fill one form per post. Write the exact post name in “Post applied for”.

3. Affix a recent passport-size photograph.

4. Attach self-attested photocopies of educational certificates, experience certificates, Aadhaar and other ID proofs listed on the form.

5. Sign the declaration.

6. Send or submit the set to:

   Chairperson, District Child Protection Unit, Nicobar
   Room No. 04, Annexure Building,
   Deputy Commissioner Office, Car Nicobar,
   Nicobar District – 744301

   Mode: Speed Post or in person. The notice also allows the same last date if you deliver it by hand.

7. The packet must reach the office on or before 30 September 2026, 5:00 PM. Keep a photocopy of the filled form and the postal receipt.

If you are eligible for more than one post, use a separate form and separate document set for each post. The form has a single “Post applied for” field.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Addressing the packet only to “DC Office, Car Nicobar” without Room No. 04, Annexure Building. Earlier, DCPU Nicobar scrutiny has rejected incomplete papers; a misdirected envelope can miss the 5:00 PM cut-off.
2. Leaving out the experience certificate for Counsellor, Accountant, Chowkidar or Ayah. Previous Nicobar DCPU lists have rejected Chowkidar applicants specifically for non-submission of experience.
3. Skipping the Diploma in Computer Applications on the Counsellor (PG Diploma route), Accountant and JJB DEO applications.
4. Treating this as a regular Andaman Administration Group C post. The notice says the contract does not confer any right to regular appointment.
5. Planning to appear for a written exam. No written paper is mentioned. Selection moves from application scrutiny to interview and document check.

No written exam stage is mentioned in the current notification. Selection is based on interview after scrutiny, plus document verification. No TA/DA is paid for the interview. Candidates must arrange their own travel to Car Nicobar.

Tie-break rules are not printed. If two candidates are close, the office will follow whatever method it records in the interview proceedings. Do not assume “older candidate preferred” unless a later notice says so.

Why Does DCPU Nicobar Matter?

The District Child Protection Unit, Nicobar, is the district arm of Mission Vatsalya. It works from the Deputy Commissioner’s Office at Car Nicobar. The unit supports the child protection structure in a remote island district: case work, the Specialized Adoption Agency, and linkage with the Juvenile Justice Board through the Assistant-cum-DEO post in this notice.

Parent body for the scheme is the Ministry of Women and Child Development. Day-to-day hiring authority is the Chairperson, DCPU Nicobar (Deputy Commissioner, Nicobar District) under the Andaman and Nicobar Administration. Related reading: Women and Child Development sector jobs and Andaman and Nicobar Islands government vacancies.

DCPU Nicobar jobs attract searches because Car Nicobar has few advertised welfare seats, Ayah and Chowkidar seats accept 10th pass with one year of work, and the same file series has run several Mission Vatsalya rounds since 2024. The honest limit is island isolation. The notice itself asks candidates to be ready for remote and hard areas. Pay is a fixed scheme amount, not a 7th CPC ladder with promotion exams.

The SahisarkariJobs.in Analyst’s Take

The closest tab a Nicobar applicant usually has open is the DCPU South Andaman Mission Vatsalya vacancy uploaded on the same Administration site on 09 September 2026, or the Directorate of Health Services, Nicobar (NHM) contractual list posted the same week. Those are also contract seats under the Andaman and Nicobar Administration. They are not the Combined Matric Level Examination, which is the regular Group C route for 10th-pass islanders. This DCPU notice is smaller, interview-only, and tied to Mission Vatsalya, not to a UT-wide written exam.

Best fit: 10th-pass women already working as Ayah, female attendant or Anganwadi Worker/Helper who can stay at Car Nicobar; B.Com or B.Sc (Mathematics) candidates with a live DCA and one year of books-of-account work; social-work graduates who can show counsellor experience in a government office or NGO.

Who should skip: Anyone treating ₹7,944–₹18,536 as a stepping stone to automatic regularisation. The PDF is explicit. Also skip if you cannot fund your own interview travel or cannot accept field movement across Nicobar Islands.

Practical tip: Put the experience certificate and, where required, the DCA photocopy on top of the packet and name the post on the envelope. In earlier DCPU Nicobar scrutinies under the same file number, Chowkidar and computer-diploma gaps were common rejection reasons. The office will not reconstruct missing papers at the October interview.

What Documents Are Required?

Bring originals to the interview. Attach photocopies with the posted form.

• Duly filled and signed application form from the official PDF, with photograph
• Proof of date of birth (10th / Secondary School certificate)
• Educational certificates and marksheets (10th, 12th, B.Com / B.A. / B.Sc / MBBS / B.Sc Nursing / PG Diploma, as applicable)
• Diploma in Computer Applications, where the post requires it
• Experience certificate matching the exact wording of the post (counsellor/accountant/security guard / Ayah or Female Attendant / Anganwadi Worker or Helper)
• Aadhaar and any other photo ID listed on the form
• Category certificate if you fill SC/ST/OBC on the form
• Employment card, if you hold one (the interview document list mentions it)

Document alert: The Ayah experience must be from a registered hospital or health institution, or as an Anganwadi Worker/Helper. A casual domestic-care letter will not match the notice. Chowkidar experience must say Security Guard, not a generic “office attendant” title.

Service Conditions

The appointment is purely contractual. It may be extended on mutual consent. It does not confer any right or privilege for regular appointment or continuity of service. False information can end the contract even after joining. Candidates must be ready to work in remote or hard areas and to travel when directed. No TA/DA is paid for appearing in the interview.

Contract duration in months is not printed in this notice. Confirm the exact tenure from the engagement order, not from older DCPU Nicobar rounds.

What Happens After Selection?

1. The office finalises interview merit after checking originals.
2. A contractual offer is issued for the specific post and for Car Nicobar.
3. You join DCPU Nicobar or the Specialised Adoption Agency, as allotted.
4. Work follows Mission Vatsalya duties for that designation: counselling, accounts, outreach, JJB data entry, nursing, part-time medical cover, security or Ayah care.
5. Continuation depends on scheme need and mutual consent. There is no automatic absorption into Andaman and Nicobar Administration regular service.
6. If a later regular exam (for example, Combined Matric Level) opens, this contract does not by itself reserve a seat in that exam.

Typical island contract drives take a few weeks from interview to joining. Treat 6–10 weeks after 30 September 2026 as a working guess, not an official timetable.

FAQs – DCPU Nicobar Recruitment 2026

What is the last date to apply for DCPU Nicobar Chowkidar and Ayah 2026?

30 September 2026, 5:00 PM. The form must reach Room No. 04, Annexure Building, DC Office, Car Nicobar, by that time. Late packets are not provided any grace window in the notice.

What is the age limit for DCPU Nicobar posts?

Not above 40 years for Counsellor, Accountant, Outreach Worker, JJB DEO, Nurse and Chowkidar. Ayah is not above 50 years. Doctor (Part-Time) age is not printed. Category-wise extra years are not listed in this PDF.

Is there an exam for DCPU Nicobar recruitment, or is it interview-based?

No written exam is mentioned. After applications are checked, candidates face an interview in the first week of October 2026 and must carry original certificates that day.

What is the salary of DCPU Nicobar Ayah and Counsellor?

Ayah and Chowkidar are advertised at ₹7,944 per month, consolidated. Counsellor and Accountant are ₹18,536. Nurse and JJB DEO are ₹11,916. Outreach Worker is ₹10,592. Part-time Doctor is ₹9,930.

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

No safe reading of the notice supports that. Certificates must match the post. Original marksheets are required at interview. Apply only if the qualifying exam is already passed.

Is DCPU Nicobar Chowkidar a permanent government job?

No. The notice says the appointment is purely contractual, may be extended only by mutual consent, and does not confer any right to regular appointment or continuity of service.

Can candidates from other states apply for DCPU Nicobar recruitment?

The notice does not print an Andaman and Nicobar domicile bar. The form asks for state and district of domicile. You must still be able to reach Car Nicobar for an interview and to work in remote areas.

Where will I be posted if selected?

Car Nicobar is the place of posting printed against every post. The notice also says you must be ready to work in remote or hard areas and travel when directed.

Is Mission Vatsalya contractual work in Nicobar worth applying for?

Yes if you already live on the islands or can relocate and you want scheme-linked child protection work. The trade-off is fixed pay, no printed promotion ladder, and no regular-service claim.

Do I need a computer diploma for every post?

No. DCA is written against Counsellor (PG Diploma route), Accountant and Assistant-cum-DEO (JJB). Outreach Worker, Nurse, Doctor, Chowkidar and Ayah do not list DCA.

What are the disadvantages of Andaman child protection contract jobs?

Worth knowing before you apply: pay is a frozen monthly figure, Nicobar postings are isolated, interview travel is self-funded, and the contract can end when the scheme seat is withdrawn.

How much do contractual child protection staff earn in Union Territory posts?

In this Nicobar notice, the range is ₹7,944 to ₹18,536 a month. Other districts and NHM notices use different figures. Always read the pay line for that exact PDF, not a previous cycle.

Is a 10th pass candidate eligible for Nicobar district government contract work?

Yes, for Chowkidar and Ayah in this notice, if the one-year specified experience is on paper. 10th pass alone is not enough for Counsellor, Accountant, Nurse or Doctor.

Pre-Contract Checklist – Before You Apply
