NHM Assam Vacancy — What’s Actually Open Right Now 2026

NHM Assam Vacancy Tracker — Live Open Posts Including CHO, ANM, Staff Nurse and Medical Officer
NHM Assam Vacancy | Updated as New Notices Appear | Multiple Posts, Multiple Deadlines

Finding an open NHM Assam vacancy is harder than it should be, because the National Health Mission, Assam does not run a single consolidated recruitment — it posts separate notices for CHO, ANM, Staff Nurse, Medical Officer, Specialist, and other posts at different times throughout the year, often simultaneously, each with its own closing date and portal. This page tracks every confirmed open post and recent notice in one place, updated as new announcements appear on nhm.assam.gov.in — so you don’t have to scan multiple feeds or risk missing a notice that opened and closed quietly in a matter of days.

Current Status — What’s Open Right Now (July 2026)

⚠️ Important: “Closed” entries are shown to give you a realistic sense of how frequently different posts appear — not every position comes up every month. CHO and ANM are currently the most active open categories. See the previous vacancy record for the full historical pattern.

Why CHO and ANM Applications Are Almost Always the Ones Open?

NHM Assam operates Health & Wellness Centres across all 35 districts of Assam, and these frontline posts need continuous backfilling as contracts end or staff leave. CHO alone has seen at least four separate recruitment rounds since 2022 — more than any other post category. If you’re a B.Sc Nursing or GNM graduate currently looking, this is realistically the most likely door to be open. Check our eligibility page to confirm whether you need the additional Community Health certificate before applying.

The District-Specific Notices Most People Miss

Beyond the state-level notices that get most of the coverage, NHM Assam also posts district or zone-specific recruitment notices — the 126-post Staff Nurse and ANM notice for Karbi Anglong being a confirmed recent example. These smaller, district-level notices are almost never covered by general recruitment aggregators, are posted with the same generic titles as everything else, and close on timelines independent of any state-level drive happening simultaneously.

Why District Notices Are Easy to MissWhat to Do About It
Generic titles (“various posts”) don’t specify district or postOpen every recent notice on the official portal, not just titled ones
Not covered by national recruitment aggregator sitesCheck nhm.assam.gov.in directly, not just secondary sites
Close on shorter timelines than state-level noticesCheck the portal at least weekly if actively looking
Posted under different sub-departmentsCheck both the main site and the eHRMIS portal at nhmssd.assam.gov.in

Posts That Appear Less Frequently — But Shouldn’t Be Ignored

Beyond CHO and ANM, NHM Assam recruits across a surprisingly wide range of roles. Most candidates only search for the well-known posts and miss opportunities that match their qualification exactly:

How to Actually Track What’s Open

StepActionWhy
1Bookmark nhm.assam.gov.in/portlets/recruitmentPrimary source — all state-level notices appear here first
2Also bookmark nhmssd.assam.gov.inSome notices route applications here instead of the main site
3Check both portals at least once a weekSome notices open and close within 15–20 days
4Open every generically-titled noticeTitles like “various posts” often hide specific posts you qualify for
5After applying, keep checking the official siteNo personal call letter is sent — shortlists are published online only

Two Important Things to Check Before You Apply

Once you’ve found an open notice, two things matter most before submitting:

  • Confirm the application mode. Some notices require an online form through nhmssd.assam.gov.in; others call for a walk-in interview with documents on a specified date. These are different processes — one has a deadline for form submission, the other requires you to physically appear. Missing which mode applies means missing the opportunity entirely. See our notification page for how to identify this quickly.
  • Confirm your eligibility against the specific notice. CHO eligibility, for example, is more specific than most summaries suggest — the Community Health certificate requirement, the RNRM registration, and the Principal’s certificate in a prescribed format are all mandatory, not optional extras. A generic “GNM/B.Sc Nursing pass” description understates what’s actually needed. See the eligibility page for the full breakdown per post.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1. Are CHO and ANM applications under NHM Assam currently open?

Yes — as of the most recent confirmed update, online applications for CHO and ANM under NHM Assam are active. This page is updated as new information appears, but always verify the current status directly on nhm.assam.gov.in since closing dates are not always announced far in advance, and windows can be as short as 2–3 weeks.

Q2. How often does NHM Assam release new vacancy notices?

Based on the historical pattern tracked on this hub, CHO and ANM notices have recurred most frequently — at least 4 separate CHO rounds since 2022, including one in early 2025 (100 posts) and another mid-2025 (882 posts). Medical Officer, Specialist, and smaller technical posts appear less predictably, tied to actual staffing gaps rather than a fixed schedule. The full historical record is on our previous vacancy page.

Q3. Are there NHM Assam vacancies available at the district level, not just state level?

Yes — NHM Assam posts district-specific notices that are almost never covered by general recruitment aggregators. The most recent confirmed example is a 126-post Staff Nurse and ANM notice for Karbi Anglong, posted separately from the main state-level drives. These notices use the same generic titles as state-level ones and close on independent timelines, making them easy to miss if you’re only checking aggregator sites rather than the official portal directly.

Q4. What posts besides CHO and ANM does NHM Assam hire for?

NHM Assam recruits for a wider range of posts than most candidates realize, including Lab Technician, Pharmacist, VBD Technical Supervisor, Manager/Executive, Medical Officer (MBBS and Ayur), Specialist (in clinical disciplines like Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Pediatrics, Anesthesiology), and Consultant roles. Most of these appear in smaller batches and less frequently than CHO or ANM, but they cover qualifications from 10+2 Science through MBBS and postgraduate medical specializations.

Q5. How do I know if the NHM Assam vacancy notice I found is still valid?

Always check the closing date stated in the official notice PDF, available through nhm.assam.gov.in. Secondary sites sometimes continue showing notices after they’ve closed, or fail to update when deadlines are extended. Do not rely on the date shown on an aggregator site — treat the official notice PDF as the final authority on deadlines.

Q6. Does NHM Assam charge an application fee for any post?

No. Across every NHM Assam notice we reviewed — including CHO (882 posts, 2025), ANM (1,138 posts, 2025), Medical Officer (100 posts, 2026), and Specialist (20 posts, 2026) — the application fee was confirmed as NIL. If any source suggests a fee is required, treat that as a red flag and verify directly against the official notice before making any payment.
