What Posts Are Available? – NHSRC Vacancy & Eligibility 2026
NHSRC has listed five separate job codes on the same board dated 02 September 2026. Each code is treated as one TOR-based seat unless the portal later shows a higher count. Category-wise UR/OBC/SC/ST/EWS breakup is not published on the vacancies board.
| Post Name | Job Code | Vacancies | Qualification | Remuneration (per month) | Max age |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Consultant – ED Secretariat | C-EDS | 1 | MBBS + MD (Community Medicine/PSM) or MBBS/BDS + full-time MPH + 2 yrs post-qualification exp | ₹60,000–₹1,20,000 | 45 years |
| Senior Consultant – ED Secretariat | SC-EDs | 1 | MBBS + MD (Community Medicine/PSM) or MBBS/BDS + full-time MPH | ₹90,000–₹1,50,000 | 50 years |
| Consultant (Legal) – ED Secretariat | C-LEDs | 1 | LL.M. (regular course) | ₹60,000–₹1,20,000 | 45 years |
| Lead Consultant – IT Division | LC-ITD | 1 | B.E./B.Tech (CS/IT) / BCA / B.Sc. (IT) + M.Tech (CS/IT) / MCA / M.Sc. (CS) / MBA or equivalent | ₹1,30,000–₹1,70,000 | 55 years |
| Advisor – Public Health Administration | APHA | 1 | MBBS with PG (MD in PSM/CHA etc.) / MS / MPH / PhD | ₹2,20,000–₹2,60,000 (negotiable; sedan listed for Advisor) | 60 years |
Notes: Only full-time regular bachelor’s degrees (minimum 3 years) and full-time regular postgraduate qualifications (minimum 2 years) are considered. Published articles, reports or monographs are listed as desirable for Consultant, Senior Consultant and Legal Consultant. Advisor (PHA) may be filled on deputation with NOC.
Interpretation: Five specialist seats, not a mass drive. The ED Secretariat pair is for public-health clinicians who can support the Executive Director’s office. Legal is a standalone LL.M. track. IT is a leadership seat in the digital health stack. Advisor (PHA) is the senior-most public-health administration role in this set.
What Is the Age Limit?
Age is reckoned as on the date of receiving the application / last date of receiving applications, as written for each TOR.
| Post | Maximum age | Cut-off |
|---|---|---|
| Consultant – ED Secretariat | 45 years | Date of receiving application |
| Consultant (Legal) – ED Secretariat | 45 years | Date of receiving application |
| Senior Consultant – ED Secretariat | 50 years | Date of receiving application |
| Lead Consultant – IT Division | 55 years and below | Last date of receiving applications |
| Advisor – Public Health Administration | 60 years | Date of applying |
Category-wise relaxation (OBC +3, SC/ST +5, PwBD +10) is not specified in the current listings. Do not assume GoI relaxation unless your TOR PDF states it.
Examples (Consultant – ED Secretariat, 45-year cap):
✅ A 44-year-old UR candidate born on 23 September 1981 — eligible (within the 45-year limit as on 22 September 2026).
❌ A 46-year-old UR candidate born on 21 September 1980 — not eligible (exceeds maximum age by 1 year).
Use our Age Eligibility Calculator to check instantly.
Where a TOR asks for years of experience, use the Experience Calculator against the degree-passing date, not the internship start date.
What Is the Remuneration? – NHSRC Consultant Advisor 2026
Pay is a consolidated monthly band. The exact offer inside the band depends on qualification and experience. This is not 7th CPC Level pay, and there is no DA + HRA stack published.

| Consultant – ED Secretariat | ₹60,000–₹1,20,000 | Close to the offered figure after TDS |

Advisor (PHA) additionally lists a dedicated sedan car.
✅ Confirmed: consolidated monthly band, contract till 31 March 2028, New Delhi base with State/district travel.
❓ Not specified in the vacancy-board summaries: NPS/EPF contribution, HRA as a separate allowance, official accommodation, and exact TDS treatment.
What Is the Application Fee?
No application fee is mentioned for any of the five job codes. Do not pay anyone who claims to process an NHSRC form.
How to Apply?
Applications are accepted only in the prescribed online format on the NHSRC recruitment portal. Safari is not supported. Use Chrome, Firefox, Edge or Opera.
- Open the NHSRC current vacancies board and read the TOR for the exact job code (C-EDS, SC-EDs, C-LEDs, LC-ITD or APHA).
- Click Login/Sign up and register with a working email and mobile number on the NHSRC recruitment login page.
- Select one job code. Fill in personal, education and experience fields exactly as on certificates.
- Mention age, year of passing each degree, and current/past employment dates in the CV/resume fields. TORs routinely reject resumes that omit these.
- Upload photograph, signature and certificates. Resize files first with the Photo & Signature Resizer.
- Submit before 22 September 2026 and save the acknowledgement.
- Advisor (PHA) on deputation: keep the parent-department NOC ready to submit to NHSRC.
Candidates selected for one interview may also be considered for other vacant NHSRC seats needing similar skills at an appropriate level.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Applying with an online/distance MPH, MBA or LL.M. when the TOR insists on a full-time regular course.
- Counting pre-qualification hospital internships as “2 years post-qualification experience” for Consultant – ED Secretariat.
- Using Safari and assuming the form is saved. The portal itself warns that Safari cannot submit.
- Uploading a CV that hides passing years and employment dates.
- Skipping the NOC if you are a serving officer targeting Advisor (PHA) on deputation.

Why Does NHSRC New Delhi Matter?
NHSRC was set up in 2007 under the National Health Mission as an autonomous registered society. It assists the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare and State governments on policy, strategy, capacity building and health-systems strengthening.
Divisions include Public Health Administration, Quality and Patient Safety (NQAS, LaQshya, Kayakalp), Community Processes and Comprehensive Primary Health Care, Healthcare Technology, Human Resources for Health, Knowledge Management and the IT Division that supports Ayushman Bharat digital work. Office campus: NIHFW, Baba Gang Nath Marg, Munirka, New Delhi – 110067.
See more on our NHSRC organisation page, public healthcare sector hub and Delhi government jobs.
Why Candidates Search This Employer
Candidates search NHSRC because it sits next to MoHFW policy work: IPHS, NHM reviews, NQAS and State technical assistance. The pay bands for Advisor and Lead Consultant are higher than many State NHM consultant seats. Travel to districts is real field exposure, not just a Delhi desk.
The honest downside is tenure. These are contracts till 31 March 2028, not Regular Government Service with NPS pension as a default. Renewal depends on performance and programme need. If you need a UPSC/SSC-style permanent cadre, this is a different bargain.
The SahisarkariJobs.in Analyst’s Take
Compare this cycle with other health-systems consultant hunts open in the same window: State NHM SPMU consultant advertisements, NITI Aayog / NHM technical positions, and MoHFW project cells that also hire MPH and MD (PSM) doctors on contract. NHSRC sits closer to national guideline writing than a typical district NHM consultant seat, and the published bands for Lead Consultant (IT) and Advisor (PHA) are steeper than most State SPMU ranges.
Best fit: mid-career MD (Community Medicine) or full-time MPH doctors who already draft notes, guidelines or review missions; lawyers with an LL.M. who can read health statutes; and CS/IT postgraduates who can run a health-IT programme, not only write code.

Who should skip: fresh MBBS graduates without the listed PG, anyone whose only MPH is distance/online, and candidates who need a permanent Group A/B cadre before 2028. Also skip if you cannot travel to States.
Practical tip: Open the TOR for your exact job code on the vacancies board before you type the form. C-EDS needs two post-qualification years; APHA allows deputation with NOC; LC-ITD needs the postgraduate IT stack, not a standalone BCA. One mismatched degree mode is enough for rejection at scrutiny.
What Documents Are Required?
Keep scanned copies ready for upload and originals for later verification:
- Photo and signature within the portal size limits
- MBBS / BDS / B.E./B. Tech / BCA / B.Sc. (IT) marksheets and degree
- MD / MPH / LL.M. / M.Tech / MCA / M.Sc. / MBA / PhD certificate showing full-time regular mode
- Experience certificates with start and end dates after the qualifying degree
- Age proof (Class 10 / birth certificate)
- Published papers or reports if you are claiming the desirable criterion
- NOC from controlling department (Advisor on deputation)
- Photo ID (Aadhaar / PAN / Passport)
Document alert: Resume fields that omit age, year of passing and employment dates are a known NHSRC rejection trigger. Name the PDF files as Degree_YourName_PostCode.pdf so the cell can match them to the job code.
Service Conditions
Engagement is purely contractual till 31 March 2028, with further extensions of similar duration subject to satisfactory performance. Place of work is New Delhi. Travel to States and districts is part of the job. Selected candidates may be considered for other vacant NHSRC positions needing similar skills.
This is not Regular Government Service. Pension, absorption and cadre seniority are not promised in the vacancy-board text.
What Happens After Selection?
- NHSRC shortlists from the online form and may call a written test (70% qualifying, if held).
- Interview and document verification of originals, including degree mode and experience dates.
- Contract offer stating the consolidated monthly fee within the published band.
- Joining at NHSRC, NIHFW Campus, Munirka, New Delhi, on the start date in the offer.
- Work under the concerned division or ED Secretariat, with State/district travel as assigned.
- Performance review before any extension beyond 31 March 2028.
Based on similar NHSRC consultant cycles, expect several weeks to a few months from the last date to joining. There is no published guarantee of absorption into MoHFW or State service.

FAQs – NHSRC Consultant Advisor 2026
Q1: What is the last date to apply for NHSRC Consultant Advisor 2026?
A: 22 September 2026. Late applications are generally not accepted. No extension has been announced as of 02 September 2026. Submit on Chrome, Firefox, Edge or Opera. Safari cannot submit the form.
Q2: What is the age limit for NHSRC Consultant posts?
A: 45 years for Consultant and Legal Consultant, 50 for Senior Consultant, 55 for Lead Consultant (IT), and 60 for Advisor (PHA). Age is as on the application / last-date cut-off printed in each TOR. Extra category relaxation is not specified on the board.
Q3: Is there an exam for NHSRC Consultant, or is it interview-based?
A: It depends on the number of applications. If a written test is held, 70% is the minimum qualifying mark and tied qualifiers all go forward. Interviews and document checks follow shortlisting. Dates will be sent to shortlisted candidates only.
Q4: What is the salary of these consultant posts?
A: Consolidated bands run from ₹60,000–₹1,20,000 for Consultant and Legal seats up to ₹2,20,000–₹2,60,000 (negotiable) for Advisor (PHA). Lead Consultant (IT) is ₹1,30,000–₹1,70,000. Offer within the band depends on experience. Tax applies to the cash fee.
Q5: Can final-year students or result-awaited candidates apply for NHSRC 2026?
A: The listings require completed full-time degrees and, for Consultant – ED Secretariat, two years of post-qualification experience. Safer to apply only if the degree and experience are already in hand by the last date. Produce originals at verification.
Q6: Is NHSRC Consultant a permanent government job?
A: No. This is a contractual engagement till 31 March 2028, extendable on performance. It is technical support under NHM, not a UPSC/SSC permanent cadre post. Do not treat the contract as absorption into MoHFW.
Q7: Can candidates from other States apply for NHSRC recruitment?
A: Yes. This is an all-India contractual hire based in New Delhi. No Delhi domicile condition is printed on the vacancies board. Be ready to travel to States and districts from the Delhi office.
Q8: Where will I be posted if I get selected?
A: New Delhi (NIHFW Campus, Munirka) is the work location. Travel to States and districts is part of the role. You do not get a home-State posting option in the published TOR language.
Q9: Is there any application fee for these five posts?
A: No fee is mentioned on the listed TOR summaries or vacancy board. If a page asks you to pay a private agent, treat it as fraud and report it. Keep the portal acknowledgement as your only proof of application.
Q10: Can I apply for more than one NHSRC job code?
A: Each job code is a separate TOR on the portal. Read both TORs before you submit two forms. NHSRC may also consider a selected candidate for another vacant seat needing similar skills at an appropriate level.
Q11: What are the disadvantages of an NHSRC consultant contract?
A: The honest downside is uncertainty after 31 March 2028. Pay is consolidated, not a 7th CPC matrix with DA revisions you can forecast. Travel load is real. If you want a pensionable permanent post, keep SSC/UPSC/State PSC tracks open.
Q12: How much do NHM technical consultants earn in Delhi?
A: NHSRC bands in this cycle start at ₹60,000 and go up to about ₹2.60 lakh per month for Advisor (PHA). State NHM SPMU consultants often sit lower. Compare the band, travel load and contract end date, not only the top figure.
Q13: Do public health administration advisors get pension in central health bodies?
A: Not on this NHSRC contract as published. An advisor (PHA) may come on deputation from a parent cadre that already has pension/NPS. Direct contractual joiners should assume consolidated fee plus the listed insurance and leave benefits only.
Final Checklist – Is This the Right Job for You?
- You meet the age and educational criteria as on the TOR cut-off date.
- You are comfortable with contractual work till 31 March 2028, not a permanent cadre.
- Your degree is full-time regular, not distance or online.
- You can arrange documents, including experience dates and (if needed) NOC.
