JIPMER Consultant Recruitment 2026

JIPMER Consultant Recruitment 2026: Overview

Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER) is engaging consultants for its administrative, legal and internal audit work in Puducherry. The institute, under the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, offers these assignments on a whole-time contract. You will work within the institute's support functions, with a separate area of responsibility for each role.

Posts and Disciplines

• Consultant (Admin.): supports recruitment-rule and policy work within the institute's administration.
• Consultant (Legal): supports the institute's court matters, legal advice and coordination with advocates.
• Consultant (Internal Audit / Finance): supports audit planning, financial controls and follow-up on audit findings.

Post-wise Duties

Consultant (Admin.)

You will help frame, amend and review recruitment rules. Your assignment also includes policy matters handled by the institute.

Consultant (Legal)

You will prepare counter replies for cases before the Central Administrative Tribunal, Labour Tribunal and courts, and arrange legal review of those drafts. You will also advise the institute and coordinate with advocates handling its cases.

Consultant (Internal Audit / Finance)

You will develop annual and risk-based audit plans, review internal controls and help resolve outstanding audit observations. The work also involves coordinating with external auditors, mentoring internal audit staff and analysing accounts of autonomous bodies.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Tenure: The initial contract lasts one year from joining. Extensions depend on the institute's needs and the limits specified in the notice; the contract ends automatically if it is not extended.
• Leaving the assignment: You must give one month's advance notice before resigning. The institute may terminate the engagement at any time without giving a reason.
• Exclusive engagement: You cannot take another paid or unpaid assignment or carry on private practice during this whole-time appointment.
• Leave: You earn 1.5 days of paid leave for each completed calendar month. Unused leave can move between months within the same calendar year, but lapses at year-end and cannot be exchanged for payment.
• Employment status: The contract gives you no claim to regular appointment at JIPMER Puducherry, Karaikal or Yanam. Campus accommodation and the benefits available to regular staff are not included.
• Confidentiality: Work-related data and deliverables belong to the department. Sharing or publishing assignment information needs the Director's written consent, including after your contract ends; selected consultants must sign a non-disclosure undertaking.
• Conduct: You must not act against the institute's interests. False statements, hidden material information or canvassing can lead to removal or disqualification.
