National Medical Library Senior Library & Information Officer Recruitment 2026 - 01 Vacancy

This role is ideal for seasoned library professionals currently serving in Central/State Government, PSUs, Universities, or autonomous bodies, who possess a Bachelor's degree in Library Science and a minimum of 10 years of professional experience. Candidates seeking a Group 'A' gazetted position on deputation or promotion within a specialized medical library environment will find this opportunity suitable. Strong administrative and technical skills in library management, especially within a government setup, are essential.

Individuals who do not meet the mandatory 10 years of professional experience in a recognized library under government or related organizations should not apply. Those seeking direct recruitment or freshers will find this unsuitable as it is primarily for deputation/promotion. The age limit of 56 years as of the application deadline is strict, and candidates exceeding this limit will be disqualified. Lack of proper forwarding through the candidate's parent department, including APARs and vigilance clearances, is a dealbreaker.

Working at the National Medical Library under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare offers a prestigious opportunity within the central government system. While it's a single vacancy, a Group 'A' gazetted post at Level 12 implies significant responsibility and a substantial pay scale. This role offers excellent career progression within the government library and information science sector, providing an impactful platform to contribute to health service information management at a national level.
