Purba Bardhaman NHM Recruitment 2026: Contract Health Posts, ANM Forms by Post

The health office of Purba Bardhaman district in West Bengal has put out six contract notices, all dated 13 October 2026. Together they cover 145 posts, led by 78 ANM (Auxiliary Nurse Midwife) and 33 Staff Nurse posts. In the Purba Bardhaman NHM Recruitment 2026, the last date is 13 November 2026 for every post. ANM forms go by post, courier or hand and must arrive by 5 PM that day; the other posts are applied for online. All posts are on contract at a fixed monthly pay, with the first term running up to March 2027. Applicants must be permanent residents of West Bengal, and ANM applicants must be permanent residents of Purba Bardhaman district.

December 2025 Purba Bardhaman notices cancelled and reissued on 13 October 2026

Each notice opens with a cancellation. The Mission Director of the National Health Mission (NHM) issued an order on 29 September 2026. Under it, the district cancelled its December 2025 notices for these posts. The new notices then invite applications again.

None of the six notices says an old form still counts. So if you applied in December 2025, plan to apply again. The online notices also tell earlier applicants what to do when the portal says “Duplicate Registration !”. Memos 319, 321 and 322 say to type your first name twice in the “Enter First Name” box (pages 2, 23 and 15). Memo 320 says to type your last name twice in the “Enter Last Name” box (page 5). Follow the line in the memo for your post. The final spelling is fixed later, at document verification.

Monthly pay and age band for each of the ten Purba Bardhaman NHM Recruitment 2026 roles

XV-FC is the Fifteenth Finance Commission, as memo 320 spells out. NUHM is the National Urban Health Mission. NPHCE is the national programme for health care of the elderly. NTEP is the national TB elimination programme. Memos 317 to 321 call the pay “consolidated”, a fixed amount a month; memo 322 gives a monthly remuneration for the TB posts. Ages are counted on 1 January 2026.

Reserved candidates get age relaxation as per West Bengal government norms; the notices do not print the years. Each notice also splits its posts by category, with labels such as UR(EC) and SC(EC). The bundle does not explain “EC”, so read the split in your post’s notice. The first term of engagement runs up to March 2027. It may be renewed if your performance is satisfactory and higher authorities approve.

ANM forms for Purba Bardhaman go by post or by hand, not online

The two ANM notices (memos 317 and 318) work differently from the rest. They have no online form. You fill in the paper format in Annexure-C and send it by speed post, registered post or courier, or hand it in. It must reach the office by 5 PM on 13 November 2026. The address is: Office of the CMOH, DH&FWS, 1st Floor, Khosbagan, Shyamsayer East, near Harisabha Hindu Girls School, Purba Bardhaman 713101.

Three rules apply only to ANM applicants:

• The Annexure-C application format for both ANM notices is headed “Female Only” (pages 11 and 20). The eligibility rules themselves (pages 8 and 17) do not mention gender. A male candidate should confirm with the CMOH office at the address above before applying.
• You must be a permanent resident of Purba Bardhaman district. Your Voter ID or ration card proof must be attested by a Gazetted Officer or a Group “A” officer of the state, that is, a senior state government officer.
• You need a pass in the ANM or GNM course from an institute recognised by the Indian Nursing Council. You also need West Bengal Nursing Council registration and Bengali.

Send self-attested copies of these papers with the form:

• a photo ID and the residence proof;
• an admit card or school leaving certificate from the West Bengal Board of Secondary Education or a similar board, as age proof;
• a caste certificate, if any;
• Madhyamik and ANM or GNM marksheets and certificates, and your nursing registration certificate.

Add the bank deposit copy of the fee. An application without the fee may be cancelled. Merit is the percentage of marks in your ANM or GNM exam.

You also need West Bengal Nursing Council registration and the local language. Merit follows the marks in the qualifying exam.

Every essential qualification must be complete by 13 November 2026. All applicants must be permanent residents of West Bengal who can read, write and speak Bengali.

Class 10 to graduation marks, computer tests and experience points, memo by memo

Each post has its own scoring table. Some count only your exam marks; others add a computer test, experience marks or an interview.

In memos 319 and 322, experience marks are higher for government work than for private work. For example, 5 years or more earns 10 marks in government service but 5 in the private sector. Those two memos count experience only after you got the essential qualification, up to 13 November 2026. The certificate must show the post, employer, your name and joining and leaving dates. An appointment letter alone is not accepted.

Marks of additional subjects are left out. On rounding, the papers differ. The general rules in every notice say “No rounding off of marks will be granted” and that proportionate marks are taken up to 2 decimal points. That line is on page 2 (memo 319), page 6 (memo 320), page 9 (memo 318), page 15 (memo 322), page 18 (memo 317) and page 24 (memo 321). But the scoring tables for the Block Data Manager (memo 320, page 4) and the three TB posts (memo 322, page 14) say marks are “rounded off to 2 decimals”. The notices print no phone number or email address. If this matters to your merit position, confirm it before you apply. The only contact the notices give is the Office of the CMOH, DH&FWS, 1st Floor, Khosbagan, Shyamsayer East, Purba Bardhaman 713101 (pages 9 and 18).

Paying the district samity by bank transfer, and the list due by 20 November 2026
