NBT Media Coordinator Recruitment 2026 — 1 Post, Apply by 28 Aug

National Book Trust, India (NBT) has released its Media Coordinator Recruitment 2026 notification under Advertisement No. 124/2026/Estt., inviting applications for 1 post on a contract basis. The notification was issued on 13 August 2026, and eligible candidates can apply offline until 28 August 2026. Applicants need a Graduate degree in Journalism, Mass Communication, Public Relations, Media Studies, or another relevant discipline from a recognized university, along with a minimum of 3-4 years of experience in Media Coordination, Public Relations, Corporate Communication, or event publicity. A Master's degree in the relevant field is considered desirable. The Media Coordinator role at NBT carries a maximum age limit of 45 years. Selection for this NBT post involves Document Verification followed by an Interview. Selected candidates will receive a consolidated monthly pay ranging from Rs. 70,000 to Rs. 80,000, on a contract basis. Interested candidates should download the application form from the official NBT website, fill it out carefully, and send it to the address specified in the notification well before the 28 August 2026 deadline, since there is no application fee for any category. This NBT Media Coordinator role offers a substantially higher compensation range — Rs. 70,000 to Rs. 80,000 per month — compared to many entry-level contractual government communications posts, reflecting the organization's need for an experienced professional capable of independently managing media relations, corporate communications, and event publicity for a national-level apex organization overseeing book publishing in India. Candidates with prior experience specifically in event publicity or corporate communications within the publishing, media, or cultural sector may find their background especially relevant to this NBT post, given the organization's core mandate of promoting reading culture and books across India through exhibitions, book fairs, and public outreach programs. Since selection proceeds directly from Document Verification to an Interview with no separate written test, candidates should ensure their experience certificates and portfolio of prior media coordination work are thoroughly documented and ready for verification, as this stage will likely determine which applicants advance to the interview. Interested candidates should apply promptly given the relatively tight application window from the 13 August 2026 notification date to the 28 August 2026 deadline. This position offers experienced media professionals a stable, well-compensated contractual role at a respected national institution in New Delhi.
