Staff Nurse Eligibility
Educational Qualification
A candidate must satisfy either of the following educational routes:
Option 1 – GNM
- Intermediate / 10+2 or equivalent
- Must have passed the examination conducted by the Nursing Council
- Must have completed a three-year course in General Nursing and Midwifery (GNM)
OR
Option 2 – B.Sc Nursing
- B.Sc. Nursing
These are the educational qualifications explicitly mentioned in the IITH notification.
Experience Requirement
In addition to the educational qualification, the candidate must have:
Minimum 3 years of post-qualification experience in a hospital recognized by the Central/State Nursing Council.
This is an important distinction: the notification lists the 3 years of post-qualification experience as an essential qualification, rather than merely desirable experience.
Desirable Experience
IITH specifically mentions experience in the following areas as desirable:
- Casualty
- Medical Ward
- Surgical Ward
- ICU
Therefore, candidates with relevant hospital experience in these areas may have an advantage during shortlisting, particularly because the Institute reserves the right to restrict the number of candidates called for selection based on qualifications and relevance/level of experience.
Age Limit
The upper age limit for the Staff Nurse post is:
35 years
The applicable cut-off date for determining age, qualification and post-qualification experience is 17 September 2026, which is the last date for submission of the online application.
The notification also states that relaxation in the upper age limit is applicable in cases of horizontal reservation as per Government of India rules.
Salary
The Staff Nurse will receive:
₹35,000 per month
This is described as consolidated remuneration, rather than a regular pay-scale appointment. Applicable statutory deductions will be made from the monthly remuneration.
Nature of Appointment
The Staff Nurse position is purely contractual and temporary.
The initial appointment period is:
11 months
The Institute may extend the engagement if:
- The selected candidate’s performance is satisfactory, and
- The Institute continues to require the services.
The contract can be terminated by either side with one month’s notice. Importantly, the contractual appointment does not create a right or claim to regular employment at IIT Hyderabad.
Staff Nurse Working Hours
The notification specifies:
- 8 hours per day
- 6 days per week
- Shift duties may be included depending on the Institute’s requirements.
The Staff Nurse may also be required to work on weekends and holidays when informed by the Head of Department, Faculty-in-Charge or Chairperson.
So candidates should be prepared for shift-based hospital duties and weekend/holiday duties.
Selection Process
The advertised mode of selection is:
Written Test / Skill Test / Interview
The notification does not provide a detailed Staff Nurse examination syllabus or marks distribution in the supplied document. Therefore, it would not be appropriate to assume a particular written-test pattern from this notification.
The Institute reserves the right to decide the screening and testing method for shortlisting and selection.
Selection venue
IIT Hyderabad, Kandi, Sangareddy, Telangana.
No TA/DA will be paid for attending the selection process.
Experience Certificate – Very Important
Candidates should pay particular attention to the experience certificate.
IITH says the experience certificate should clearly state:
- Your designation

- Nature of work/assignments
- Pay
The certificate should:
- Be issued on the organization’s letterhead
- Include the date of issue
- Mention the name and designation of the issuing authority
- Have the authority’s signature and stamp
The Institute specifically says that pay slips, office orders, appointment orders or other similar documents will not be considered as proof of experience.
Also, only experience obtained after the minimum qualifying degree/course will be considered, and part-time employment experience will not be considered.
