DH&FWS Jhargram Recruitment 2026: 33 Posts, Apply by 19 Nov

DH&FWS Jhargram Recruitment 2026 is open for 33 contractual posts in Jhargram district, West Bengal. The District Health and Family Welfare Samiti issued the notice as Memo DH&FWS/JGM/2026/1899 on 30 October 2026, and applications run from 31 October at 11 am to 19 November 2026 at midnight. The fee is Rs 100 for general candidates and Rs 50 for reserved categories, and you apply online only, on the West Bengal Health portal.

The posts are Medical Officer AYUSH (19 of them), Pharmacist (12) and Staff Nurse (2), all under the Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram (RBSK) of the National Health Mission. Pay runs from Rs 22,000 a month for a pharmacist to Rs 32,000 for a medical officer. There is no written exam. Selection is a 100 mark academic score, so your board and degree marks decide whether you reach document verification.

What each post pays and asks for

Medical Officer AYUSH takes 19 of the 33 posts, split into 8 for men and 11 for women, and it pays Rs 32,000 a month. You need a BHMS, BAMS or BUMS degree from a recognised institution, with the compulsory internship finished and a registration certificate from the respective council. The notice adds that a graded BHMS degree counts, and an MD in Homoeopathy, Ayurveda or Unani earns extra marks. Only men can apply for the male posts and only women for the female posts.

Pharmacist is the single biggest post, with 12 places at Rs 22,000 a month. The requirement is a two year Diploma in Pharmacy (allopathic) from a PCI or AICTE approved institute, plus a registration certificate from the West Bengal Pharmacy Council. A B-Pharma or M-Pharma from an approved institute earns extra marks, which matters because the scoring gives weight to higher qualifications.

Staff Nurse has just 2 posts at Rs 25,000 a month. You need a completed GNM course from an institute recognised by the Indian Nursing Council and a registration certificate from the West Bengal Nursing Council. Clinical experience in a government or private hospital earns extra marks.

Two posts means the merit list will be tight. A nurse comparing this with a permanent post should also know the gap: a permanent RRB Nursing Superintendent starts at Rs 44,900 basic, as explained in our nursing superintendent salary guide. This Jhargram post is a contract role at a fixed monthly amount, not a pay scale post.

The West Bengal condition comes first

Every post in this notice carries the same two conditions, and they knock out more applicants than the qualification does. You must be a permanent resident of West Bengal.

The notice also asks for Bengali. Reading it is not enough. You must write it and speak it too.

Your qualification and your council registration must be complete by the last date of application. That timing is strict. A registration certificate that arrives after the closing date does not count, even if the course itself is finished. If you live outside West Bengal, or your registration is still pending, the form is not for you, and the fee will not come back.

The notice counts age as on 1 January 2026. The upper limit is 40 years for the medical officer and staff nurse posts, and 18 to 40 years for pharmacist. Reserved category candidates get relaxation as per West Bengal government norms. The notice does not fix a number of years for that relaxation, so check the portal if it applies to you.

How the 100 marks are worked out

There is no test and no interview in this recruitment. The notice scores you out of 100 on your academic record, with proportionate marking and no rounding off beyond two decimal places. Your Class 10 and Class 12 marks count, so old board results still matter here.

For Medical Officer AYUSH, Class 10 carries 20 marks, Class 12 carries 20, the BHMS, BAMS or BUMS degree carries 40, and an MD in Homoeopathy, Ayurveda or Unani adds up to 20 more. For Pharmacist, Class 10 carries 20, Class 12 carries 20, the D-Pharma diploma carries 30, a B-Pharma adds up to 20 and an M-Pharma adds up to 10. For Staff Nurse, Class 10 carries 30, Class 12 carries 30, the GNM course carries 20, and clinical experience carries up to 20, at 5 marks per completed year, with 20 marks for four years or more. Experience counts only after the GNM qualification is complete.

A worked example shows how tight this gets. Take a pharmacist with 80 percent in Class 10 and 75 percent in Class 12. Proportionate marking turns those into 16 of 20 and 15 of 20.

A D-Pharma score of 70 percent adds 21 of 30. That is 52 marks before the B-Pharma and M-Pharma marks, which can add up to 30 more.

A candidate with the same board marks but no B-Pharma sits at 52, while a candidate with a B-Pharma at 70 percent sits at 66. The gap opens before anyone looks at a certificate.

That scoring explains why a pharmacist with a B-Pharma or a nurse with four years of hospital work starts ahead of a candidate with the same degree and no extra qualification. If your marks are strong, this is a good notice to apply under. If your Class 10 and 12 percentages are low, the extra qualification marks are the only way back, and there is no exam to make up the gap.

Two dates, not one

This is the part candidates get wrong. Registration and fee payment close at midnight on 18 November 2026. The final submission of the form closes a day later, at midnight on 19 November 2026. You cannot pay the fee on the 19th and then submit.

Pay by the 18th. Fill in the form and submit it by the 19th. The notice gives no grace period for either date.
