NBB Multi-Post Recruitment 2026

NBB Multi-Post Recruitment 2026: Overview

National Bal Bhavan (NBB), an autonomous body under the Ministry of Education, is filling senior programme, science and museum roles through a direct-recruitment drive at its New Delhi campus. NBB works with children through creative arts, science, performance, museums and activity-based learning, so these are not routine desk posts: each role helps shape the programmes and spaces children use.

The three roles sit at different parts of the institution but share a clear purpose: turning creative and educational ideas into well-run experiences for young members. If your background matches one of the post-specific conditions in the official notice, choose that role carefully and show how your work connects with children's learning, programme delivery, science engagement or museum practice.

Posts and Disciplines

• Deputy Director (Programme, Coordination and Research): provides senior direction across programme planning, institutional coordination and research. The role connects different activity areas and helps keep NBB's child-centred work aligned across teams.
• Assistant Director (Science): leads the science sections, reviews how they support child members and develops science and environment initiatives. The work also includes collaboration with local and national programmes.
• Curator (Museum): looks after the museum's educational use, collections and presentation. The role links exhibit care with interpretation that children can understand and enjoy.

Post-wise Duties

Deputy Director (Programme, Coordination and Research)

You will bring together programme planning, coordination and research across the institution rather than working inside only one activity section. The job calls for clear priorities, regular follow-up with programme teams and practical use of research when reviewing activities for children.

You will also help the leadership turn broad educational goals into workable programmes and partnerships. That means keeping communication moving between units, reviewing progress and presenting decisions in a form that colleagues can act on.

Assistant Director (Science)

You will supervise the daily work of the science activity sections, define useful outcomes and check whether activities directly support child members. You will guide the content, staffing, delivery and evaluation of science and environment sessions, including major seasonal programmes.

The role also develops short- and long-range science projects and coordinates collaborative initiatives at local and national level. You should be comfortable balancing educational quality with the practical needs of instructors, programmes and participating children.

Curator (Museum)

You will connect museum care with child-friendly interpretation, helping the galleries work as active learning spaces rather than static displays. Day-to-day work may include coordinating exhibits, keeping collection information organised and supporting programmes that use museum material.

You will work with programme and creative teams so that objects, stories and displays are presented accurately and accessibly. The post suits someone who can combine careful collection work with clear communication for young visitors.
