NHM Assam Staff Nurse 2026: Applications Closed, CBT Date Still Pending
Wed, 02 Sept, 2026
NHM Assam closed applications for 2,204 Staff Nurse posts on 15 August, with the CBT date still unannounced and individual call letters not guaranteed. Why you need to track the official site directly, and how to use the wait.
National Health Mission Assam closed applications for 2,204 contractual Staff Nurse posts on 15 August, and the next stage, a Computer-Based Test, still doesn't have a confirmed date. NHM Assam has said the detailed schedule and selection methodology will be published separately, and that individual call letters may not be issued at all, so candidates are expected to track the official site directly rather than wait for a notification to land in their inbox. If you applied, here's what's actually confirmed and how to spend the waiting period.
At a Glance
| Detail | Figure |
|---|---|
| Vacancies | 2,204, contractual |
| Notification released | 29 July 2026 |
| Application window | 1 August – 15 August 2026, closed |
| Selection stage | Computer-Based Test, date not yet announced |
| Starting pay | ₹20,000 per month |
| Application fee | None, all categories |

The zero application fee across every category is worth noting; it's part of why this particular drive drew a large applicant pool despite the two-week application window.
Watch for Call Letters Yourself, Not for a Notification
NHM Assam has explicitly flagged that individual call letters may not be issued for this recruitment, which is a genuinely different process from most exams on this site, where an admit card lands in your registered email or SMS automatically. That puts the responsibility on you to check the official NHM Assam website directly and repeatedly as the CBT date approaches, rather than assuming silence means the process has stalled. Bookmark the site now if you haven't already, and check it on a regular schedule rather than waiting for a prompt that may not come.
What the CBT Covers
The Computer-Based Test is objective, drawing on nursing subjects, basic healthcare principles, and clinical practice, in line with a standard B.Sc Nursing or GNM curriculum. NHM Assam hasn't released the exact question count, marks, duration, or negative marking scheme yet, so treat any specific numbers you see cited elsewhere as unconfirmed until the official schedule comes out alongside those details.
What to Do With No Confirmed Date
Contractual nursing postings like this one tend to move on compressed timelines once a schedule is announced, sometimes with only a short gap between the CBT date being confirmed and the exam itself. Rather than waiting for that announcement to start preparing, use this window for a genuine content refresher across core nursing subjects, especially clinical practice areas that are easy to let slide once you're out of active clinical postings. Keep your educational certificates and any category documentation ready now, since a compressed exam-to-verification timeline doesn't leave much room to assemble paperwork after the fact.
