ICMR NIRBI Assistant Recruitment 2026: Overview

ICMR-National Institute for Research in Bacterial Infections (ICMR-NIRBI) is recruiting Assistants on deputation for its Kolkata office. The institute is an autonomous organisation under the Department of Health Research, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare. This is an administrative appointment supporting the institute, with work supervised by its administrative officers.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Conflicting tenure clauses: The opening paragraph describes an initial three-year deputation, while the detailed conditions specify two years with a possible one-year extension. You should seek clarification from the institute before accepting the appointment.
• Extension and early release: Any extension depends on administrative needs and approval. The institute may also end the deputation before the stated or extended term for functional or administrative reasons.
• Service framework: The applicable Indian Council of Medical Research recruitment rules and Department of Personnel and Training deputation instructions govern the engagement.
• Promotion: Deputationists cannot claim promotion under the provision stated in this circular.
• Travel costs: You will not receive travel or daily allowance for attending the interview.
• Recruitment changes: The competent authority may amend or cancel the recruitment, and the advertised strength may change with institutional needs. Updates will appear on the institute or ICMR website.
• Accuracy and disputes: False information or concealed material facts can end your candidature. Recruitment disputes fall within the jurisdiction of courts in Kolkata.

Application Submission Notes

Your application must come through your cadre-controlling authority. If you are already on deputation elsewhere, your parent cadre or department must forward it; a direct application will not be accepted.
