NIA Professor and Associate Professor Exam 2026

NIA Professor and Associate Professor Recruitment 2026: Overview

National Institute of Ayurveda (NIA) has moved Vacancy Notification 01/2026 for Professor and Associate Professor posts at its Panchkula campus to the written-test stage. The current official documents are meant for people who already applied: one gives the common examination instructions, while the accompanying roll-number list identifies Professor applicants by Ayurveda speciality. Every eligible applicant must attend the test to remain in the selection process, and the best-scoring candidates in each advertised post and subject will move forward.

Posts and Disciplines

• Professor: The roll-number list groups applicants across Agad Tantra, Dravyaguna Vigyana, Kayachikitsa, Kriya Sharir, Kumarabhritya, Panchakarma and Rachana Sharira.
• Additional Professor specialities: The same list also covers Rasashastra Evum Bhaishajya Kalpana, Roganidana Evum Vikritivigyana, Shalya Tantra, Stree Roga-Prasuti Tantra, and Swasthavritta Evam Yoga.
• Associate Professor: This post is covered by the shared written-test notice for the Panchkula campus. You should use the relevant official candidate list and admit card rather than treating the Professor roll list as the complete Associate Professor list.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Existing applicants only: This examination notice does not reopen the application window. It applies to candidates already found eligible under Vacancy Notification 01/2026.
• Mandatory attendance: Missing the written test removes an applicant from further consideration.
• Shortlisting: The highest-scoring eligible candidates for each post and subject are called for interview, with the notice preserving reservation requirements and tie handling at the final shortlisting position.
• Provisional candidature: Inclusion in a roll list or possession of an admit card does not by itself confirm final eligibility. Qualification, category and documents remain subject to checking under the original recruitment rules.
• Entry control: Reach the Jaipur examination centre before the gate closes. Late entry is not permitted, so plan travel to the Jorawar Singh Gate campus in advance.
• Examination conduct: Mobile phones, smartwatches, calculators, study material and bags are barred from the hall. Use of unfair means can lead to immediate disqualification and further action.
• Official updates: Check the NIA website for the correct roll list, admit card, seating information and any later instruction linked to your post and subject.
