Eligibility Criteria
Applicants must hold a B.Sc. (Nursing) or Post Basic B.Sc. (Nursing) degree with the integrated curriculum of the Certificate Programme in Community Health (CPCH), from a recognised nursing college running the integrated programme. Candidates must have passed in or after the academic period specified in the notification, and the qualification is judged as on 22 November 2026, so the result must be declared by that date. A plain B.Sc. Nursing degree without the CPCH curriculum does not match the wording of the notice, so check your degree certificate and mark sheets before applying.
The maximum age as on 22 November 2026 is 35 years for General and EWS candidates, 37 years for OBC (BC-I and BC-II), 38 years for female unreserved candidates, and 40 years for SC and ST candidates. Age is proved from the Class 10 certificate or another government-approved document.
Selection Process
Selection is through online application submission followed by verification of documents and eligibility, as per the notification. Candidates should read the full advertisement on jrhms.jharkhand.gov.in for the complete process before applying.
