Education and technical requirements
Siddha posts
| Position | Education / registration / skills required |
|---|---|
| Dispenser Siddha–Pharmacist | Pass in Class 12 together with D.Pharm Siddha / Integrated Pharmacy Course. The notice specifies a certificate issued by the Government of Tamil Nadu. |
| Medical Officer Siddha | BSMS with the stated TNSMBC / Indian Medicine registration, or MD in Siddha. Check the registration wording in the original row before submitting. |
| Pharmacist (Siddha) | Diploma in Integrated Pharmacy for the Siddha pharmacist role. Working knowledge of MS Office, Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Access is essential. |
Health Inspector, nursing and hospital support
| Position | Education and other essential conditions |
|---|---|
| Health Inspector Grade II, both schemes | Plus Two with Biology or Botany and Zoology; Tamil must have been a subject at SSLC level. A two-year MPHW (Male), Health Inspector or Sanitary Inspector training course is also required. The notice refers to recognized private institutions, trusts or universities, including Gandhigram Rural Institute, and a course certificate granted by the Director of Public Health and Preventive Medicine. |
| Mid Level Health Provider | GNM diploma or B.Sc. Nursing. The college must be a government institution or a government-approved private nursing college recognized by the Indian Nursing Council. |
| ANM / UHN | ANM qualification, or GNM diploma / B.Sc. Nursing from a government or government-approved private college recognized by the Indian Nursing Council. |
| Radiographer | B.Sc. Radiography. |
| Dental Technician | Completion of a recognized Dental Technician course lasting one or two years. |
| Multi Purpose Hospital Worker | 8th-standard pass / 10th-standard fail, as printed in the notice; ability to read and write English and Tamil; date-of-birth certificate issued by the competent authority. |
For Health Inspector, all three elements matter: school science subjects, Tamil at SSLC and the prescribed two-year training certificate. For the hospital-worker opening, the official wording includes an 8th-pass route, so do not assume that Class 10 pass is the minimum for every vacancy in this recruitment.
Rehabilitation and psychology roles
| Position | Required qualification |
|---|---|
| Physiotherapist | A recognized Indian university's bachelor's qualification in Physiotherapy. |
| Special Educator for Behavioral Therapy | Bachelor's or master's qualification in Special Education in Intellectual Disability from a UGC-recognized university, plus live Rehabilitation Council of India registration with a valid registration number. |
| Occupational Therapists | Bachelor's or master's qualification in Occupational Therapy from a recognized university. |
| Psychologists at DEIC / Psychologist under National Tobacco Control | The row lists postgraduate Psychology / MSW, or a Psychology graduate trained in counselling, followed by a two-year counselling-services experience condition. |
The two psychology entries use the same qualification wording. Its punctuation does not clearly separate the experience condition between the listed routes. If your eligibility depends on a particular interpretation of that clause, obtain clarification from the District Health Office and prepare evidence of your counselling work.
Management, counselling, laboratory and data posts
| Position | Qualification route and required skills |
|---|---|
| Data Manager | Three routes are listed: an RCI-approved master's qualification in Disability Rehabilitation Administration with basic BPT, BOT, BPO, B.Sc. Nursing or another RCI-recognized degree; or a postgraduate degree / diploma in Hospital or Health Management from a recognized or reputed institution, with one relevant year's experience for diploma holders; or an MBA from a recognized institution with two years in a hospital / health programme. |
| Counselor | Graduation in Psychology, Social Work, Sociology, Anthropology or Human Development in Nursing, together with at least three years in an HIV/AIDS project. A separate route for applicants recruited from the HIV-infected or HIV-affected community permits graduation in any field or a nursing diploma with at least one year of HIV/AIDS project experience. |
| Micro Biologist | The degree line is printed as M.B.B.S. MD / M.Sc. Medical Microbiology / M.Sc. Microbiology, followed by two years of laboratory experience in diagnostic services for epidemic-prone diseases. Check the original wording with the office if clarification is needed about your degree route. |
| Audiometrician / Audiometric Assistant | HSC with Physics, Chemistry, Botany and Zoology, or Physics, Chemistry and Biology with one of the related subjects; plus a one-year Audiometry certificate. The course must be from a government medical institution under the Director of Medical Education or another institution recognized by the State or Central Government. |
| Senior Tuberculosis Laboratory Supervisors | Graduate qualification and a government-recognized Diploma in Medical Laboratory Technology or equivalent; permanent two-wheeler driving licence and ability to drive; computer-operations certificate course of at least two months. |
| Data Entry Operator | Any graduate with essential computer knowledge covering MS Office, Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Access. Lower typewriting in both English and Tamil is required. |
The tuberculosis laboratory-supervisor row lists at least one year of RNTCP experience as preferential, rather than including it in the essential-qualification list. Keep that distinction when assessing your application. The Counselor row has an empty numbered third item in the supplied notice; it provides no additional readable condition to apply.
Age conditions
| Posts | Age wording in the notification |
|---|---|
| Dispenser Siddha–Pharmacist, Medical Officer Siddha and Pharmacist (Siddha) | The rows state “No Age Limit” alongside a maximum appointment age of 59 under the NRHM / NAM scheme. |
| Mid Level Health Provider | Candidate must not be over 50 years. |
| Senior Tuberculosis Laboratory Supervisors | Maximum 40 years. |
| All remaining entries, including both Health Inspector posts | Below 35 years. |
The Siddha wording needs to be read in full; treating it as an unrestricted age condition would omit the 59-year appointment clause. Ask the recruiting office if this affects your case. The notice does not identify an age-calculation reference date or publish a category-relaxation table. Do not add a presumed reference date or relaxation to the printed limits.
After the office confirms the relevant reference date, you can use the Regal Naukri Age Calculator to work out your completed age on that date.
Selection, contract terms and fee information
| Point | What the official documents say |
|---|---|
| Appointment method | Every advertised row says On Contract (Interview). |
| Interview timetable | No interview date or reporting schedule is supplied in these documents. |
| Employment status | Temporary appointment; the notice expressly rules out permanent appointment. |
| Joining undertaking | A letter expressing willingness to join the service must be supplied. |
| Vacancy changes | The number of posts may change. |
| Fee / payment | An application-fee amount and payment method are not stated. |
The supplied notice does not set out an examination paper, a marking formula or a qualifying percentage. Follow later official communication about the interview. Absence of a fee instruction is not a published fee-exemption rule; check any subsequent official direction before making a payment.
Documents to assemble with the form
Use the second page of the official application form, which lists self-attested supporting copies. Include the notice's willingness undertaking as well.
| Document | Form requirement / preparation point |
|---|---|
| Photographs | Two recent passport-size colour photographs; the first page has a photograph box. |
| Date of birth | Birth certificate, SSLC certificate or HSC certificate as evidence. The hospital-worker qualification also specifically calls for competent-authority date-of-birth certification. |
| Education and marks | Evidence of the qualification and marks relevant to the post. |
| Council registration | Necessary council registration certificate for the applicable professional route. |
| Tamil eligibility | Evidence through 10th- or 12th-standard marks records. Check the separate SSLC-Tamil condition for Health Inspector. |
| Residency evidence | The checklist names Revenue Department nativity certification, voter ID, Panchayat / Municipality / Corporation tax receipt, Aadhaar card and ration card. |
| Government-officer character certificate | Character and conduct certificate from a government Group A or Group B officer, issued within three months before the notification. The form says this applies to all applicants, including fresh graduates. |
| Institution character certificate | Character and conduct certification from the head of the institution where the applicant studied or is currently studying. |
| Disability-related evidence | For a differently abled applicant, a Block Medical Officer's certificate stating fitness to discharge the duties and the disability percentage. |
| Work experience | Certified evidence of work experience relevant to the qualification route. |
| No Objection Certificate | From the competent authority, if applicable. |
| Other records | Other significant records from competent authorities as indicated by the selection criteria. |
| Willingness undertaking | Joining-willingness letter required by the recruitment notice. |
Check the residency section directly on the form when arranging your copies; it lists several types of proof without explaining an either/or rule. Similarly, the two character certificates are separate checklist items. Having an institution certificate alone does not address the government-officer certificate item.
