About the Organisation
Chittaranjan National Cancer Institute began in 1950 as Chittaranjan Cancer Hospital and became CNCI after a merger in 1987, functioning today as a Regional Cancer Centre for eastern India. (This is added context, not part of the official notification. Confirm with the hiring office.) It works under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, and runs two campuses in Kolkata: the original campus on S.P. Mukherjee Road and a newer campus in New Town. For a candidate, this means working security duty at an active government hospital and research campus rather than a private office or factory.

Working at CNCI’s Kolkata Campuses
CNCI’s first campus is on S.P. Mukherjee Road in south Kolkata, an established, well-connected part of the city. Its second campus is in Action Area 1D, New Town, a planned township on the northeastern edge of Kolkata developed with wide roads, government and private bus services, and proximity to the airport and the Rajarhat–Salt Lake business belt. (This is added context, not part of the official notification. Confirm with the hiring office.) The notification does not specify which campus each guard will be posted to, so candidates should confirm this at the time of selection. Since the recruitment address itself is the New Town campus, candidates travelling from other parts of West Bengal should plan for a Kolkata-based posting and factor in commute from wherever they are assigned.

Should You Apply?
This role suits ex-servicemen, ex-policemen, and ex-paramilitary personnel who want a structured security assignment at a government cancer institute in Kolkata, and who can meet the 55-year age limit (with relaxation for extra experience). It does not suit fresh candidates without a defence, police, or paramilitary background, since that experience is the core eligibility condition here, and there is no separate qualification requirement to fall back on. One honest trade-off: this is an outsourced post through M/s. Smart Security of India, not a direct or permanent CNCI appointment. The engagement is initially for up to one year, and continuation depends on CNCI’s own assessment at the end of each term, so it offers steady work but not guaranteed long-term job security. Pay follows the Central Minimum Wage rather than a fixed government pay scale, and there is no TA/DA for the selection process, so candidates should weigh the commute and interview costs before applying.
FAQs
What is the last date to apply for CNCI Security Guard 2026?
The notification’s “How to Apply” section asks for the application to reach the Institute by 26 July 2026, 05:00 PM, while the advertisement table separately lists 28 July 2026, 05:00 PM as the last date. To be safe, candidates should send their application in time to arrive by 26 July 2026.
What is the salary of Security Guard in CNCI?
The notification states the salary “as per Central Minimum Wage” without giving a fixed figure. It does not mention a specific pay scale, so candidates should confirm the exact in-hand amount with the outsourcing agency, M/s. Smart Security of India, or CNCI directly.

Indian Nationals who are ex-servicemen, ex-policemen, or ex-paramilitary personnel and are within the 55-year age limit (with relaxation for extra experience) can apply. No specific academic qualification is required for this post.
