VARANASI: A district notice posted on Thursday, November 12, 2026, invites applications for one contractual ANM or staff nurse position at the OST centre of Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Government Hospital in Pandeypur. Nursing applicants have a postal application window beginning November 16, followed by an interview at the hospital on December 7.
Applicants should prepare their papers before posting them to the office of the Chief Medical Superintendent, Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Government Hospital, Varanasi. The corrected notice specifies registered post and says applications must reach the office by 5 pm IST on November 30. It does not offer an online application route.
The interview is scheduled for 11 am IST on December 7 at the hospital. Candidates must bring their original records. Before relying on the proposed contract duration, applicants should also seek clarification of a discrepancy in the notice: its opening paragraph refers to March 31, 2027, while a later condition prints March 31, 2026.
What applicants should do
Read both pages attached to the district administration's recruitment listing. The first contains the vacancy, qualifications, payment and submission instructions. The second provides an application format and declaration. The listing describes a single appointment under the Uttar Pradesh State AIDS Control Society, Lucknow, rather than separate ANM and staff nurse vacancies.
Use the application format to organise the required information. It asks for the post, the applicant's name, father or husband's name, date of birth, permanent and correspondence addresses, educational details, experience and any other qualifications. The instructions also ask for contact details and caste information. Applicants should check that these particulars agree with the supporting documents before dispatch.
Attach a passport size photograph and self attested copies of the relevant certificates. The notice specifically mentions educational records, a registration certificate and an experience certificate. Keep the original records available for the interview rather than treating the copies sent by post as a substitute for later verification.
The envelope must identify the post applied for and the office name in large letters. Incomplete applications can be rejected, and the notice says applications received after the deadline will not be considered. Because the condition concerns receipt at the office, applicants should allow for postal delivery when choosing a dispatch date.
One post, with two qualification and payment descriptions
The vacancy table gives an age range of 18 to 40 years. Its qualification text specifies a minimum ANM qualification from a recognised university or institution, or registration with the Uttar Pradesh Nursing Council. It says candidates with a nursing diploma or a Bachelor of Science in Nursing would be preferred, as would experienced candidates.
The application instructions separately mention a registration certificate from the Uttar Pradesh State Medical Faculty. Applicants whose registration documents differ from that wording should establish what the recruiting office requires before submitting their papers. The published document contains both references, and they should not be silently treated as interchangeable.
The monthly honorarium is listed as Rs 18,000 for an ANM and Rs 21,000 for a staff nurse. These are the two payment descriptions printed against the one advertised post. The notice does not announce two appointments or a choice of payment independent of the qualification under which someone is selected.
- Vacancy: one contractual ANM or staff nurse at the OST centre.
- Application period: November 16 to November 30, 2026.
- Receipt deadline: November 30 at 5 pm IST, by registered post.
- Interview: December 7, 2026, at 11 am IST.
- Venue: Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Government Hospital, Varanasi.
Contract wording needs clarification
The corrected notice and application form describe an appointment initially running to March 31, 2027, with a possible extension under the applicable rules. Lower down, however, a condition gives March 31, 2026, a date preceding this recruitment. The document therefore cannot establish an unambiguous end date without clarification.
The later condition also makes any extension dependent on approval by the Government of India or the competent authority. Applicants should distinguish that possibility from a guaranteed continuation. The notice further says the selection committee may consider experience alongside interview marks and that its decision will be final.
No travel allowance is payable for attending the interview. The application declaration requires the information supplied to be true and accepts cancellation of the appointment or termination of service if false particulars are found. A separate condition gives the state society a provision for ending service with one month's notice or the equivalent payment where adverse facts emerge.
For a location enquiry, the official hospital directory identifies the institution at Pandeypur and lists 0542-2508017. This is its general published contact, not a dedicated recruitment helpline. Related local reading includes the cancer hospitals' residency notice, specialist support at Kabir Chaura and the earlier hospital emergency preparations.
