AIIMS Delhi Project Nurse II Recruitment 2026 – Apply Online for 2 Posts

The Division of Trauma Laboratory Medicine, JPNATC, All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi has issued a re-advertisement dated 31 July 2026 inviting applications for two temporary posts of Project Nurse-II.

The posts sit under a research study titled TRACE-TBI: Transcriptomic and Genomic Analysis of Acute Cerebral Edema Following Severe Traumatic Brain Injury, based at the Jai Prakash Narayan Apex Trauma Centre (JPNATC).

Because this is a re-advertisement, candidates who applied in the earlier round should note that a fresh application is required against the current notification. And the framing matters: these are project posts co-terminable with the study, not regular AIIMS nursing appointments, and the notification is explicit that selected candidates have no claim to regular appointment.

AIIMS Delhi Project Nurse II Recruitment 2026 at a Glance

Eligibility Criteria

Essential Qualification

A three year General Nursing & Midwifery (GNM) course. This is the sole essential academic requirement for the post.

Desirable Qualifications

The notification lists project-specific desirable attributes that will shape shortlisting in practice:

• Experience in ICU, Neuro-ICU or Emergency care
• Prior involvement in clinical research — specifically patient screening, obtaining consent, and follow-up
• Familiarity with critical care monitoring and clinical data collection

These are worth reading as a description of the actual work rather than a wish list. A TBI transcriptomics study depends on enrolling severely injured patients quickly, consenting families under difficult circumstances, and recording clinical parameters accurately over time. Applicants who can evidence Neuro-ICU or trauma emergency exposure, and any prior role in a research protocol, should say so plainly in the application.

The notification also states that experience in the relevant field or area, as required for the study, will be considered — so relevant experience carries weight even where it is listed as desirable rather than essential.

Age Limit

The age limit is 30 years, with relaxation as per the rules of ICMR / AIIMS. To check exactly where you stand against the closing date, our free age eligibility calculator gives you an answer in seconds.

Salary

The consolidated remuneration is approximately Rs 20,000 per month plus HRA as admissible. Candidates comparing this against hospital staff nurse pay should factor in that the value of a project post of this kind often lies in the clinical research exposure — patient screening, consent, protocol follow-up and data collection are transferable credentials for future research roles.

How to Apply

Application is through an online Google Form. The notification provides both a QR code and a direct form link:

1. Open the official notification PDF and either scan the printed QR code or use the form link given in it.
2. Fill the form completely with your GNM qualification details, experience and contact information.
3. Submit before 5:00 PM on 19 August 2026.

The notification states clearly that submissions after the last date will not be considered. Because the deadline is a time on the day rather than end of day, treat 5:00 PM on 19 August as the real cut-off and submit ahead of it.

Selection Process

Selection is through performance in the interview. There is no written test.

Only shortlisted candidates will be called for interview. The notification also states that no correspondence will be entertained from candidates regarding a visit to the department prior to the interview, so candidates should not attempt to contact the division ahead of being called.

No TA/DA is paid for attending the interview.

Important Conditions

• The posts are purely temporary and co-terminable with the project.
• Relaxation is applied as per the rules of ICMR / AIIMS.
• Selected candidates will have no claim for regular appointment under any funding agency for the entitled projects.
• Experience in the relevant field or area as required for the study will be considered during selection.

The third point is the one candidates most often overlook. A project nurse post at AIIMS does not create a route into a regular AIIMS nursing cadre, and the notification says so directly. It is a fixed-term research role, and should be evaluated on that basis.
