JIPMER has given applicants an extra month. The institute is filling 16 Group A and B posts on deputation basis at its Puducherry and Karaikal campuses, and a corrigendum dated 21.09.2026 has pushed the last date for receipt of applications from 21.09.2026 to 21.10.2026 (Wednesday), up to 4:30 P.M. One thing has not moved, though — your age, qualifying service and experience are still counted as on 21.09.2026, so the extra month buys you time to get your paperwork forwarded, not time to become eligible.

How to Apply
There is no online form for this recruitment. The whole application travels on paper, through your employer, and it has to physically reach JIPMER by the deadline.
- Download the prescribed application proforma from the JIPMER announcement page — it is available as both a PDF and a Word file.
- Fill it in for one post, and attach self-attested copies of your qualification and experience documents, including the experience certificate issued by the Head of your institution.
- Route it through proper channel so your employer forwards it along with the No Objection Certificate, attested APARs for the last five years, the integrity certificate, the vigilance clearance and the no-penalty certificate.
- Put it in an envelope superscribed “APPLICATION FOR THE POST OF ______________ ON DEPUTATION BASIS AT JIPMER, PUDUCHERRY / KARAIKAL” and send it to Shri Hawa Singh, Senior Administrative Officer, Room No. 210, II Floor, Administrative Block, JIPMER, Dhanvantari Nagar, Puducherry – 605 006.
- Make sure it reaches by 4:30 P.M. on 21.10.2026. If the proper-channel forwarding looks like it will run late, send an advance copy within the deadline as well.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Assuming the extension moved everything — your age, qualifying service and experience are still counted as on 21.09.2026, not 21.10.2026.
- Sending the application directly to JIPMER instead of routing it through your employer; without the forwarding and the No Objection Certificate it will not be processed.
- Leaving out the experience certificate from the Head of your institution, which the notification says makes the application liable to be rejected.
- Posting an envelope with no superscription — it must name the post applied for and the campus, Puducherry or Karaikal.
- Attaching APAR photocopies that have not been attested page by page by an officer not below Under Secretary rank.
- Waiting for the last week and relying on the post office — JIPMER states plainly that it will not be responsible for postal delay.
