What Posts Are Available?

Six tentative seats sit under one Nicobar NHM notice. Four ABDM roles sit at BJR Hospital, Car Nicobar (HMIS also covers CHC Nancowrie). The single PHN seat is at PHC Teressa, a hard-area primary health centre, not the district hospital desk.

The highest pay is the District Project Coordinator-ABDM seat at ₹40,000. The two HMIS Assistant seats are the only posts with more than one vacancy. Category-wise UR/OBC/SC/ST/EWS numbers are not printed.

ABDM programme posts — 5 seats

Nursing post — 1 seat

✅ Confirmed: 6 contractual posts, post-wise pay, BJRH / CHC Nancowrie / PHC Teressa postings, 11-month NHM contract.

❓ Not specified: category-wise roster, age band, application fee, interview marks, exact HAA rupee amount.

Your qualifying-exam record and experience decide the shortlist

No written test is mentioned in this vacancy notice. Selection is on the merit of qualifications and experience. A merit list then goes to The Daily Telegram, the A&N website and the DHS-Nicobar notice board for 7 days of claims and objections. A weak experience certificate can keep you off that list even if the degree looks right. Attach experience letters that state nature and duration of work.

Who Is Eligible? Education, Experience & Domicile

Eligibility is post-specific. One application packet should name one post on the envelope, as the notice asks you to write the post title in the address line.

Domicile of Andaman & Nicobar Islands is not printed as a hard filter. An Employment Registration Card is required with the documents, which is the usual local registration paper used in A&N Administration recruitments. Serving government staff should keep an NOC ready for document checks if they are already in service; the notice does not say an NOC must be enclosed on day one.

Use our Experience Calculator if you are mapping project months for the Coordinator or HMIS seats.

What Is the Age Limit?

Age limits are not mentioned in File No. M-17030(11)/77/2024-O/O DHS-DCNIC-DCNIC_AN/83. Do not copy 18–35 or 21–60 figures from other NHM or ABDM notices in the Islands.

Examples cannot be calculated from this PDF because no maximum age or cut-off date is printed.

If a later corrigendum adds an age band, use our Age Eligibility Calculator against that official cut-off only.

What Is the Remuneration for PHN and ABDM Posts in Nicobar?

Pay is consolidated monthly remuneration under NHM/ABDM, not 7th CPC Level pay with DA and HRA tables.

These are indicative figures from the printed consolidated rates. They are not a 7th CPC in-hand slip. NPS, CGHS and city HRA are not described in this notice.

PHC Teressa is a hard-area posting, which is why the PHN line alone shows + HAA. Treat HAA as extra only after the engagement letter names the amount.

What Is the Application Fee?

The official vacancy notice does not prescribe any application fee for any category. Do not pay anyone who calls asking for a “processing charge.”

How to Apply?

There is no online portal for this drive. DHS Nicobar accepts only physical applications.

1. Download the DHS Nicobar NHM Vacancy Notice September 2026 PDF from the A&N Administration vacancy list.
2. Fill the prescribed application format referred to in the notice. Use one post title only on the packet.
3. Attach self-attested marksheets, degree/diploma/professional certificates, experience letters (nature + duration), Employment Registration Card, photo ID and photographs.
4. Address the envelope to the Chairperson (DC), District Health Society, Nicobar District – 744301 and write the post name on the cover.
5. Send it by Speed Post or Registered Post so that it is received by 5:00 PM on 05 October 2026. Island transit is slow; post at least a week early.
6. Keep a photocopy of the signed form and the postal receipt.

Applications that are incomplete, defective, or missing certificates and photographs will be rejected.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Sending the form to the Directorate of Health Services, Sri Vijaya Puram. This notice is for the District Health Society at Nicobar, PIN 744301.
• Writing “ABDM post” on the cover without the exact designation. Four ABDM titles exist.
• Treating CompTIA A+ / MCSA as enough for System Administrator without a graduate degree and proven admin work.
• Attaching a generic “worked in hospital” letter that does not state duration and duties.
• Handing the file at a general hospital reception instead of posting it to the Chairperson (DC), DHS Nicobar.
• Assuming an interview date. None is printed. Watch the merit list and the 7-day objection window.

No interview stage is mentioned in the current notification. Selection, as printed, rests on qualification and experience merit plus the claims window and later verification.

A waiting list for each post stays valid for one year. Vacancy numbers are tentative.

False information found at any stage cancels candidature. If found after joining, services can be ended without notice.

Why Does DHS Nicobar Matter?

District Health Society, Nicobar District, runs National Health Mission programmes for the southernmost inhabited district of the Andaman & Nicobar Islands, including ABDM digitisation at BJR Hospital, Car Nicobar and CHC Nancowrie.

The society works under the Andaman & Nicobar Union Territory Health Mission and the wider public healthcare system of the A&N Administration. PHC Teressa is a field unit, not a city teaching hospital.

Candidates search “DHS Nicobar recruitment”, “Nicobar NHM vacancy” and “ABDM HMIS Assistant Andaman” because island NHM seats are few and often reappear in short contractual cycles. ABDM roles attract IT graduates who missed the July 2026 State Health Society ABDM round for South Andaman and North & Middle Andaman.

The honest limit: this is an 11-month NHM contract in a remote district. Sea and air links to Sri Vijaya Puram are weather-sensitive, and the notice itself says selected staff may be sent to hard-to-reach areas. See the healthcare sector hub and Andaman and Nicobar jobs for other UT health openings.

The SahisarkariJobs.in Analyst’s Take

The closest tab most applicants already have open is the State Health Society A&N ABDM notice (MIS/Data Analyst, System Administrator, Accountant, HMIS Assistant in South Andaman and North & Middle Andaman) and the earlier May 2026 DHS-Nicobar NHM round for PHN and TBHV-NTEP. This September notice is narrower: Nicobar district only, six seats, same ABDM pay bands (₹40,000 / ₹30,000 / ₹20,000) and a single PHN at PHC Teressa instead of three PHC PHN seats.

Best fit: IT graduates who can live in Car Nicobar or Nancowrie and already have government-project or hospital-IT proof; nurses with NCI registration who want PHC field work plus Hard Area Allowance rather than a Port Blair walk-in.

Skip this if island posting is a deal-breaker. An 11-month contract with an explicit “no regular appointment” clause will not replace ANIIMS or regular DHS Group C pipelines.

Practical tip: Post the file by 25 September 2026. Receipt in Car Nicobar by 5:00 PM on 05 October 2026 is the legal cut-off, not the date on your local post office stamp.

What Documents Are Required?

• Prescribed application form, signed
• Proof of date of birth
• 10+2 / degree/diploma / PG marksheets and certificates
• Professional certificates (MBA, PGDM, MPH, GNM, PHN diploma, B.Sc Nursing, computer-applications certificate, CompTIA/MCSA if claimed)
• Nursing Council of India registration (PHN)
• Experience certificate stating nature and duration of work
• Employment Registration Card
• Valid photo ID
• Passport-size photographs
• Self-attestation on every photocopy

Document alert: an experience letter that only says “worked as volunteer” without dates will not help the Coordinator or HMIS merit ranking. PHN applicants should carry the council registration card, not only the degree.

Service Conditions

Engagement follows NHM programme guidelines of District Health Society, Nicobar District. The first contract is 11 months from the date of signing. Extension depends on a performance review and mutual agreement. That sentence is not a promise of regular service.

Selected candidates must work in remote or hard-to-reach areas when the job requires it. A one-year waiting list may be used if someone does not join.

What Happens After Selection?

1. Your name appears on the published merit list (newspaper, A&N website, DHS-Nicobar board).
2. Use the 7-day claims-and-objections window if a mark or experience entry is wrong.
3. After objections close, the society calls candidates for document matching against the originals.
4. You sign an 11-month NHM/ABDM contract. Pay starts at the printed consolidated rate; PHN HAA follows the engagement letter.
5. You report to BJRH Car Nicobar, CHC Nancowrie or PHC Teressa, as allotted.
6. Further months exist only if both sides agree after the performance review. Plan a mainland job search before month 10 if extension is not confirmed.

Typical island NHM cycles take several weeks from the last date to the merit list. Do not resign a current job until the contract is in hand.

FAQs – DHS Nicobar Recruitment 2026

What is the last date to apply for DHS Nicobar PHN and ABDM posts?

05 October 2026, 5:00 PM. The packet must reach District Health Society, Nicobar District – 744301 by that time. Late receipts are rejected. No extension is written in the 08 September 2026 notice.

What is the age limit for DHS Nicobar recruitment?

Not printed. File No. M-17030(11)/77/2024-O/O DHS-DCNIC-DCNIC_AN/83 has no age band and no cut-off date. Do not assume 18–35 from other NHM adverts until a corrigendum says so.

Is there an exam for these Nicobar NHM posts, or is it interview-based?

No written exam is mentioned. No interview is named either. Merit of qualifications and experience produces a list, then 7 days of claims and objections. Final joining still depends on original documents.

What is the salary of a Public Health Nurse in Nicobar?

₹21,632 per month plus Hard Area Allowance, as printed for PHC Teressa. ABDM Coordinator pay is ₹40,000, System Administrator ₹30,000, and the two junior ABDM titles ₹20,000 each, all consolidated.

Can final-year students apply for this recruitment?

No safe reading supports that. PHN needs a completed GNM plus PHN diploma or a finished B.Sc (Nursing) plus council registration. ABDM posts need the listed degree and, where stated, project experience already earned.

Is DHS Nicobar PHN a permanent government job?

No. The notice says the engagement is contractual for 11 months and “would not be construed in any manner a promise for the regular appointment” under District Health Society, Nicobar District.

Can candidates from other states apply for DHS Nicobar posts?

The notice does not close the door by domicile line. It does ask for an Employment Registration Card. If you live on the mainland, confirm that card requirement before you post the file, because island transit is costly.

Where will I be posted if selected?

ABDM Coordinator, System Administrator and Assistant Coordinator: BJRH, Car Nicobar. HMIS Assistant: BJRH, Car Nicobar and CHC Nancowrie. PHN: PHC Teressa. Remote or hard-to-reach duty can still be ordered.

Is there any application fee for Nicobar NHM contractual posts?

Not mentioned in the official vacancy notice. Do not transfer money to a private UPI ID or “agent” who claims to move your file in Car Nicobar.

How do I apply for HMIS Assistant in Nicobar without an online form?

Fill the prescribed format, attach B.Sc/BCA/ECE certificates plus experience if you have it, and post the packet to Chairperson (DC), District Health Society, Nicobar District – 744301 with “HMIS Assistant-ABDM” on the cover.

What are the disadvantages of this Nicobar health contract?

The honest downside is isolation plus insecurity of tenure. You join a six-post island contract that lasts 11 months, may send you to hard-to-reach PHCs, and states in writing that it is not a ladder into regular DHS service.

Do NHM contract nurses in the Islands get Hard Area Allowance?

This notice prints “+ HAA” only against the PHN row for PHC Teressa. Other ABDM posts show a flat consolidated figure. Confirm the rupee amount in the appointment letter.

How much do contractual digital-health assistants earn in Union Territory NHM units?

In this Nicobar notice, the printed ABDM rates are ₹20,000 for HMIS Assistant and Assistant Project Coordinator, ₹30,000 for System Administrator and ₹40,000 for District Project Coordinator. That matches the pay bands used in the UT’s other ABDM staffing notice.
