Age Limit
Not specified in notification
Work conditions
You must be ready to work in remote or hard areas, and to travel there when the authority asks.
Applying for more than one post
Send a separate application form for each post.
The notice gives no age limit. The application form on its last page has a line “Age as on 31.07.2018”, but the notice itself states no age rule, so ask the office on 03192-262697 before you apply.
In short: for the PHN post, either route works — a B.Sc. Nursing degree, or the nursing diploma plus the one-year public health diploma. For the two nursing posts, your Nursing Council registration must be valid and active, not just held once.
Selection Process
Stage
Details
1. Application check
The office checks each application. Incomplete forms, forms without the needed certificates, and forms without your photograph are rejected straight away.
2. Eligible names displayed
Names of candidates who meet the rules go on the notice board of the District Health Society office at Mayabunder. They may also appear in The Daily Telegram and on the websites of the Andaman and Nicobar Administration and the District Administration. No individual call letters are sent.
3. Walk-in interview
Eligible candidates come in person on a date and time to be announced later. Bring all original certificates and one set of self-attested photocopies (copies you have signed yourself as true copies).
4. Final marks and waiting list
Selection is on marks for education, marks for experience and marks in the interview (see the marking scheme below). A waiting list is also made, and it stays valid for one year.
In short: the notice mentions no written exam. Your certificates and experience carry 70 of the 100 marks and the interview carries 30. For the PHN post, a computer diploma is worth 10 of those 70 marks, so it is worth attaching.
