Should you apply?
This vacancy suits GNM or B.Sc Nursing graduates who want government experience without a long recruitment cycle. With 20 posts and a walk-in interview stage, competition is likely lower than a state-level written exam with a large applicant pool, though the notification does not give an applicant estimate. The contractual, six-month term is the main trade-off. There is no stated provision for extension or conversion to a permanent post, and the notification does not mention an age limit or allowances beyond the ₹30,000/- remuneration. Candidates who need long-term job security may want to weigh this against permanent state or central nursing vacancies. Candidates who already hold the required Meghalaya Nursing Council registration and want short-term income or experience have a straightforward application process to follow.
