3. What the Jr. Staff Nurse will actually do

The job profile is fairly broad and covers routine ward nursing as well as emergency, procedural and administrative responsibilities.

Patient care

You will be responsible for:

1. Handing over and taking over admitted patients
2. Admission and discharge of patients
3. Providing efficient nursing care
4. Maintaining patients’ personal comfort
5. Administering medicines/drugs and treatment
6. Observing patients’ condition
7. Supervising patients’ diet

Coordination with doctors and nursing staff

The nurse is expected to:

• Attend medical/nursing rounds
• Assist doctors during patient examination and treatment
• Participate in clinical investigations and procedures
• Help with other ward-related clinical activities

Pre- and post-operative care

The job specifically includes:

• Pre-operative care
• Post-operative care

Documentation

You will also be responsible for:

• Maintaining patient records
• Following prescribed procedures in cases involving an accident or death of a patient
• Providing health information/education to patients and attendants
• Informing the In-charge CMO about emergencies or unusual occurrences

These duties are explicitly listed in the advertisement.

---

4. Clinical procedures mentioned

The advertisement specifically mentions assisting with:

• Intravenous injection/infusion
• IM injection
• Nebulization
• Connecting IV fluids
• Removing IV lines for admitted patients
• Responding to patients’ call bells

This means the position involves hands-on clinical nursing duties, not merely desk/administrative work.

---

5. Salary

The advertised pay is:

Pay Level 6 — ₹35,400 to ₹1,12,400

The advertisement describes gross pay as including components such as:

• Basic Pay
• Dearness Allowance
• House Rent Allowance
• Transport Allowance
• Dearness Allowance on Transport Allowance

Therefore, ₹35,400 is the Level-6 basic-pay starting figure, rather than necessarily the final monthly gross amount.

The advertisement does not give a specific final in-hand salary figure, so that should not be assumed from this document alone.

---

6. Age limit

The normal maximum age is:

32 years as on 4 September 2026.

There are provisions for age relaxation.

For example:

• SC/ST/OBC-NCL relaxation applies according to Institute rules and the reservation applicable to the post.
• PwD and Ex-servicemen candidates receive relaxation according to applicable rules.
• Certain IIT Bombay employees can receive special age relaxation.
• The advertisement says age relaxation for IIT Bombay permanent employees can be up to 57 years, subject to the stated conditions.

For Institute employees working in a department/section/unit/project, the advertisement specifies a service condition of at least 3 years, with 220 days or more per year, for the relevant age-relaxation provision.

---

7. Reservation

There are 3 posts:

• 1 OBC
• 1 UR (Unreserved)
• 1 EWS

The advertisement therefore does not show an SC/ST-reserved vacancy for this particular recruitment.

For OBC-NCL/EWS applicants, the advertisement contains additional certificate requirements.

OBC-NCL

An OBC candidate claiming reservation must have a valid OBC Non-Creamy Layer certificate in the prescribed format and applicable financial year.

The advertisement also requires an OBC declaration in the prescribed format where applicable.

EWS

The advertisement specifies that, among other conditions, an EWS applicant’s family gross annual income must be below ₹8 lakh, with the prescribed asset exclusions also applying.

The advertisement lists exclusions such as:

• 5 acres or more agricultural land
• Residential flat of 1,000 sq. ft. or more
• Residential plot of 100 sq. yards or more in notified municipalities
• Residential plot of 200 sq. yards or more elsewhere

The relevant income/asset certificate must be issued by an officer not below the rank of Tehsildar, as specified in the advertisement.

8. Application fee

The fee structure is:

Category	Fee
General	₹500
OBC-NCL	₹250
EWS	₹250
SC	No fee
ST	No fee
PwD	No fee
Female candidates	No fee

The fee is non-refundable and is to be paid online through the application portal before submitting the application.

---

9. How to apply

Applications are to be submitted online through IIT Bombay’s career application portal.

The advertisement states that the hard/soft copy of the online application does not need to be sent by post or email. Similarly, sending a resume/application by email to an Institute official will not be considered for selection.

Last date: 4 September 2026.

The Institute specifically advises candidates not to wait until the last date, because technical issues, website traffic or payment problems could prevent successful submission.

10. Documents you should prepare

The advertisement says applicants should upload documents supporting their eligibility, including:

• Latest photograph, not older than 6 months
• Matriculation certificate
• Educational qualification certificates
• Nursing qualification documents
• Experience certificates
• Date-of-birth proof
• Caste certificate, where applicable
• Pay slip, where applicable
• Other supporting documents required by the application

Experience certificates have specific requirements. They should be on the organization’s letterhead and mention things such as:

• Date of issue
• Exact period of employment
• Designation
• Pay drawn for each position
• Certification by the issuing authority

Original certificates must subsequently be produced during the selection process and again at joining if selected.

11. Selection process — very important

The selection is not simply based on qualification and experience.

Stage 1 — Application scrutiny/screening

IIT Bombay will scrutinize applications.

Even if you satisfy the minimum eligibility requirements, you are not automatically guaranteed a call for the next stage.

The Institute may shortlist candidates based on qualifications and/or experience higher than the minimum prescribed if there are many eligible applicants.

Stage 2 — Written test

The selection process includes a written test.

A shortlist will be prepared from candidates who qualify in the written test, based on merit.

Stage 3 — Skill/proficiency test

A skill/trade/proficiency test may additionally be conducted.

However, according to the advertisement, this test is qualifying in nature.

That means the final selection ranking is based on the shortlist prepared from the written test, rather than marks obtained in the qualifying skill test.

Minimum marks

The advertisement specifies:

• 60% or more for general eligibility in the selection process
• 55% or more for SC/ST candidates
