NEIGRIHMS Faculty Salary 2026 – What Will You Earn?
The salary for NEIGRIHMS faculty posts is among the most competitive in government medical recruitment. All posts carry a Non-Practising Allowance (NPA) in addition to the pay level entry salary — but only for medically qualified candidates.
| Post | Pay Level | Entry Pay | NPA |
|---|---|---|---|
| Professor | Level-14-A | ₹1,59,100 per month | Applicable |
| Associate Professor | Level-13-A1 | ₹1,31,400 per month | Applicable |
| Assistant Professor | Level-12 | ₹1,01,500 per month | Applicable |
On top of this, faculty members receive House Rent Allowance (HRA), Dearness Allowance (DA), Transport Allowance (TA), and other central government admissible benefits.
To give you a real-world figure: an Assistant Professor at ₹1,01,500 basic pay, drawing HRA at 27% (in a city classified as X), would receive approximately ₹27,405 as HRA alone. Add DA at the current rate and NPA, and the gross monthly take-home comfortably exceeds ₹1.5 lakh for an entry-level post.
