Kolkata & North Bengal Candidates
The college sits on Raja Dinendra Street in Hatibagan/Shyambazar area, north Kolkata — about a 10-minute walk from Shobhabazar Sutanuti Metro Station on the Blue Line, and a short ride from Shyambazar five-point crossing. Candidates travelling from Howrah or Sealdah can reach via metro or bus in roughly 30–45 minutes. Editorial context, not part of the official notification: For BAMS/MD candidates based in Siliguri, Darjeeling, or North Bengal, the practical move is an overnight train (Darjeeling Mail or Kanchanjungha Express) into Sealdah, then metro to the venue — budget at least 12 hours travel time. Bengali is the working language locally, though all official documentation and the walk-in itself will be conducted bilingually. Affordable lodging is widely available in the Shyambazar–Hatibagan belt if you need to stay the night before the interview.
Important Dates
Walk-in candidates should aim to reach the Principal-Superintendent’s office well before the 11 a.m. start. Government walk-ins in West Bengal typically register candidates on a first-come basis, and no TA/DA is provided for attending.

Eligibility Criteria
The eligibility criteria for these posts include education and (for MTS) experience requirements. Candidates should make sure they meet all the conditions before applying.

Selection Process
Selection happens in two stages — marks-based shortlisting against the published criteria, followed by the walk-in interview on 18 June 2026. Each post carries a total of 100 marks, with the interview itself worth 15 marks and the rest weighted on qualifications and experience.
For the Research Fellow post:

Should You Apply?
If you are a fresh BAMS or MD (Ayurveda) graduate based in or near Kolkata, the Research Fellow post is a sensible early-career move. ₹20,000 consolidated is in line with what sponsored Ayurvedic pilot studies typically pay at WB government colleges (editorial context based on comparable 2025 postings — confirm at joining), and ten months on a clinical study sponsored by a private firm gives you a paper to your name, a PI reference, and a foot in the door of Ayurvedic clinical research. Candidates outside Kolkata should weigh the relocation cost honestly — there’s no joining allowance and no TA/DA. The MTS post is strictly for experienced clinical-lab staff already inside the government system; freshers will not score competitively given the experience-weighted marking. Realistic competition for the Research Fellow seat is moderate — BAMS graduates in West Bengal are plentiful, but the MD (Ayurveda) bonus marks meaningfully narrow the field. One honest trade-off: this is a 10-month contract with no renewal commitment, so treat it as a CV-builder, not a career.
FAQs — J. B. Roy Ayurvedic College Recruitment 2026
Is the Research Fellow post open to BAMS graduates without an MD?
Yes. BAMS alone makes you eligible — MD (Ayurveda) is an essential-but-additive qualification worth 15 extra marks. A strong BAMS candidate with clinical research experience can still score competitively against an MD holder without experience.
Can I apply for both posts with a single application?
The notification does not address this directly, but standard practice for separate sponsored projects is one application per post, each addressed to the Principal-Investigator with separate document sets. Submit two distinct applications if you qualify for both, which is unlikely given the different eligibility profiles.
What does a “consolidated” fellowship mean in practice?
Consolidated pay is a single fixed monthly amount with no HRA, DA, medical allowance, or PF. For the Research Fellow, ₹20,000 is the full in-hand monthly figure. No statutory deductions are mentioned in the notification.
What typically comes next after a sponsored Research Fellow stint at a WB Ayurvedic college?
Editorial context, not part of the official notification: Candidates usually move into a second sponsored project, a PhD registration, a clinical role at private Ayurvedic hospitals, or AYUSH Ministry research posts. The credential opens AYUSH research pathways more than clinical practice ones.
Will there be a written test in addition to the interview?
No. The notification specifies a marks-based shortlisting using qualifications and experience, plus a 15-mark interview. There is no written paper or syllabus mentioned for either post.
