NHM Assam Staff Nurse Application Fee 2026

There’s good news on this front — the NHM Assam Staff Nurse Recruitment 2026 does not require candidates to pay any application fee. This applies to all categories, including General, OBC/MOBC, SC, ST, and PWD candidates, making the process completely free to apply for.

NHM Assam Staff Nurse Salary 2026

Selected candidates will be engaged purely on a contractual basis under NHM, Assam and will draw a monthly remuneration of ₹20,000. Since this is a contractual engagement rather than a regular government post, the pay structure does not follow a formal Pay Level or Pay Matrix — it is a fixed consolidated monthly amount, without a separate break-up for HRA, DA, or TA at this stage. Even so, for nursing graduates looking to gain hands-on public health experience while earning a stable government-linked income, this remains an attractive entry point.

NHM Assam Staff Nurse Selection Process 2026

The selection process for the Staff Nurse post has not been detailed in the current advertisement. Here’s what candidates should know about how it will unfold:

1. Applications will be scrutinised by the Mission Directorate after the window closes on 15 August 2026.
2. A list of provisionally shortlisted candidates will be published on the official NHM Assam website.
3. The exact selection stages — whether merit-based shortlisting, a written test, or an interview — will be notified separately in due course.

⚠️ No individual call letters will be issued for any stage of selection. Candidates must keep checking the official website regularly for updates.
