RAKCON Principal and Vice Principal Recruitment 2026

RAKCON Principal and Vice Principal Recruitment 2026: Overview

Rajkumari Amrit Kaur College of Nursing (RAKCON) in Lajpat Nagar, New Delhi, is filling its Professor-cum-Principal and Professor-cum-Vice-Principal posts. The Nursing Section of the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS), under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, has issued the circular.

The notice provides for deputation, including short-term contract, and departmental promotion, with a different recruitment method for each post. Your application must move through your employer, so the forwarding authority is part of the process.

Posts and Disciplines

• Professor-cum-Principal: The principal-level nursing college post at RAKCON, Lajpat Nagar. The notice places this post under a combined deputation and promotion method.
• Professor-cum-Vice-Principal: The vice-principal-level nursing college post at the same institution. Promotion is the first route; deputation, including short-term contract, follows if promotion does not fill the post.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Principal tenure: Deputation normally cannot exceed five years. This includes any immediately preceding deputation to another post outside your cadre in the same or another Central Government organisation or department.
• Vice-Principal tenure: The corresponding normal limit is four years, including immediately preceding deputation service covered by the notice.
• Departmental appointment: If the departmental Vice-Principal is selected for the Principal post under the specified provision, the appointment counts as a promotion.
• Separate appointment routes: For the Vice-Principal post, departmental officers directly in the promotion line cannot be considered through deputation. Deputationists cannot be considered through the promotion route.
• Withdrawal: You cannot withdraw your candidature after applying. Discuss the proposed move with your employer before the application is forwarded.
• Application acceptance: DGHS can accept or reject applications without giving a reason. Applications that arrive late, use the wrong format or lack the required supporting material may be rejected without being assessed further.
