AIIMS Rajkot Junior Research Assistant/PTS-II Recruitment 2026 — 2 Posts, Walk-in 14 Sep

All India Institute of Medical Sciences Rajkot (AIIMS Rajkot) has released its Junior Research Assistant / Project Technical Support II Recruitment 2026 notification under Advertisement No. AIIMS/Rajkot/Recruitment/EM/26/2026/01, inviting applications for 2 posts on a contractual basis. The notification was issued on 18 August 2026, and eligible candidates can submit applications until 03 September 2026, with a walk-in interview scheduled for 14 September 2026. The 2 vacancies are distributed one each as Junior Research Assistant and Project Technical Support II. Applicants for the Junior Research Assistant post need a Post Graduate degree in Biological Science or a relevant subject/field, with 1 year of experience in the relevant subject/field/Medical Laboratory considered desirable, along with working knowledge of computer applications. Applicants for the Project Technical Support II post need 12th in Science plus a Diploma (MLT/DMLT or equivalent) with 5 years of experience in Medical Laboratory work, or a 3-year Graduate degree in Biological Science with 2 years of experience in medical laboratory or a relevant subject. The maximum age limit is 35 years for all posts, with relaxation of 5 years for SC/ST, 3 years for OBC, and up to 15 years for PwBD SC/ST candidates. Selection for these AIIMS Rajkot posts involves a Written Exam/Skill Test, Interview, Document Verification, and Merit List preparation. Selected candidates will receive Rs. 27,000 per month (consolidated) for Junior Research Assistant, and Rs. 24,000 per month (Rs. 20,000 + 20% HRA) for Project Technical Support II. Interested candidates should attend the walk-in interview at AIIMS Rajkot on 14 September 2026, since there is no application fee for any category. This AIIMS Rajkot recruitment drive is notable for combining two quite different seniority levels under a single advertisement — a postgraduate-level Junior Research Assistant role and a more technical, laboratory-focused Project Technical Support II position — reflecting the varied staffing needs of the underlying research project, which the notification indicates relates to HEP METS MASLD (Metabolic dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease) research based on the notification PDF filename. Candidates should identify which post matches their qualification level before attending the walk-in interview, since applying under the wrong post category could affect eligibility. The Project Technical Support II post offers two distinct qualification pathways — a 12th-pass-with-Diploma route requiring 5 years of laboratory experience, or a 3-year Graduate degree route requiring only 2 years — giving candidates with either strong practical laboratory experience or formal graduate-level training in Biological Science a route into this role. Given the desirable skills listed for this post, including blood sample collection, sample processing and analysis, and electronic data handling, candidates with hands-on phlebotomy or clinical laboratory experience specifically may find their background particularly well-matched to this position. Since selection includes a Written Exam/Skill Test in addition to the Interview and Document Verification stages, candidates should prepare for both a knowledge-based assessment relevant to their discipline and a practical demonstration of laboratory or research skills where applicable, rather than assuming the walk-in format means a single-stage evaluation. Candidates should carry all original documents, self-attested photocopies, and be prepared for a comprehensive multi-stage selection process on the walk-in date of 14 September 2026. Interested candidates should note the roughly two-week gap between the last date of application (03 September 2026) and the walk-in interview date (14 September 2026), which likely allows AIIMS Rajkot time to shortlist candidates from the submitted applications before the interview stage, so a timely submission before the application deadline is important even though the final selection event is a walk-in format. Candidates should reach out to the AIIMS Rajkot recruitment office for any procedural clarifications well in advance of the interview date.
