What this notification covers

NIEPMD, Chennai, a national institute under the Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities, Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment, has announced four regular vacancies through Employment Notice No.02(R)/2026 dated 28.10.2026. The posts are based at NIEPMD(D), Chennai. This notice replaces Advertisement Notification No.5(R)/2025, which appeared in Employment News dated 20.12.2025 to 26.12.2025 and was cancelled because of service exigencies.

Choose the correct recruitment route

Deputy Registrar (Admin) is available only on deputation, including short-term contract. Both Lecturer posts and Rehabilitation Officer allow direct recruitment or deputation. The direct-recruitment reservations are Unreserved-PwD for Lecturer in Special Education, EWS for Lecturer in Community Rehab & Project Management, and SC for Rehabilitation Officer. PwBD-reserved vacancies are included within the advertised total.

The posts require different combinations of education, professional experience and, where specified, RCI registration. Deputy Registrar applicants must also meet the prescribed service-level requirements. Candidates should therefore assess the full eligibility for their chosen post rather than relying on the degree requirement alone.

Deadline and online submission

The application period runs for 30 days from publication of the advertisement in Employment News. Although 27.11.2026 is the date obtained by counting from the notice date, it is not an independently confirmed closing date.

• Open the official recruitment page and obtain the prescribed application format.
• Complete the application and attach attested supporting certificates.
• Upload the required employer certificate and applicable service records.
• Pay the online fee if not exempt, then submit through the online route within the prescribed period.
