The National AYUSH Mission (NAM), Department of AYUSH, Union Territory of Lakshadweep has invited applications for 6 contractual posts: Physiotherapist, Nursing Staff (Ayurveda) and Masseur (Male).

You apply through a Google Form on or before 5:00 PM on 23 November 2026. The notice says eligible applicants get virtual interview details by e-mail, so keep your inbox active. Read the post-wise tables below before you apply. GovtJobsAlert.in has put every figure from the notice in one place so you do not have to squint at a scanned copy.
The notice is issued by the Director (AYUSH) and Member Secretary (E.C) from Kavaratti. The posts are under a Centrally Sponsored Scheme, so the Ministry of AYUSH approval matters for any extension of the contract.

The Masseur post is for male candidates, as the post name itself says. Pick the post that matches your certificate, because each post has its own qualification.
Each post asks for a different qualification, so check the row for your own post.
| Post | Qualification |
|---|---|
| Physiotherapist | Bachelor of Physiotherapy (BPT) from a Govt. recognized Institute |
| Nursing Staff (Ayurveda) | One year Certificate of Ayurveda Nurses’ course from a Govt. recognized Institute |
| Masseur (Male) | SSLC with one year Certificate Course in Ayurvedic Masseur / Therapy from a recognized Ayurvedic Institute |
Look at the wording carefully. The first two posts need an institute that is Govt. recognized, while the Masseur post says a recognized Ayurvedic Institute. The notice states no experience requirement. If you are looking at other options, see our pages on medical and healthcare jobs and 10th pass government jobs.

The notice says the age should not exceed 45 years. It does not give an as-on date for counting age and does not mention any relaxation for reserved categories. Keep your birth certificate ready, because it is one of the documents the notice asks you to upload.
The notice lists a fixed remuneration per month for each post, not a pay level.
| Post | Remuneration per Month |
|---|---|
| Physiotherapist | ₹25,000 |
| Nursing Staff (Ayurveda) | ₹15,000 |
| Masseur (Male) | ₹15,000 |
The engagement is for one year, which is likely to be extended based on satisfactory performance and subject to approval of the Ministry of AYUSH. Treat the extension as a possibility, not a promise. This is a contract engagement under a Centrally Sponsored Scheme, not a regular government post, so think about whether a one-year posting in the islands suits your plans before you apply. The notice lists no other allowance or benefit, and we have added none.
| Stage | Detail |
|---|---|
| Application deadline | Applications received after the stated date and time will not be considered for the virtual interview |
| Virtual interview | Date, time and link will be sent to all eligible applicants on their registered e-mail |

It does not describe a written test, marks or a merit formula, so we cannot tell you how the final list is prepared.
