BBCI Guwahati Recruitment 2026 – Quick Overview

About Company

Dr. B. Borooah Cancer Institute (BBCI), Guwahati is one of the leading cancer treatment and research centres in Northeast India. It functions as a unit of the Tata Memorial Centre, which operates under the Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India — the same body that runs Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai, India’s premier cancer care institution.

This particular recruitment drive is specifically for the “Adult and Pediatric Haematolymphoid Unit” — a specialised department dealing with blood-related cancers and disorders in both adult and paediatric patients. Since BBCI is a Tata Memorial Centre unit, candidates with prior TMC experience get an age relaxation benefit, which is a useful detail to keep in mind if you or someone you know has worked with any TMC project before.

Job Roles

This advertisement covers six different posts, each with its own salary, qualification, and age limit. Here is the complete breakdown:

1. Staff Nurse (64 Posts) – These nurses will work in the Adult and Pediatric Haematolymphoid Unit, providing direct clinical care to cancer patients undergoing treatment for blood-related disorders.

2. Staff Nurse Grade II (42 Posts) – A senior nursing role requiring significantly more clinical experience, with a higher consolidated salary and added preference for candidates with administrative or oncology nursing background.

3. Leading Fireman (3 Posts) – A specialised safety role responsible for fire safety systems within the hospital premises, including handling conventional and addressable firefighting and suppression systems.

4. Attendant (10 Posts) – Support staff role assisting with filing, record-keeping, dispatch work, photocopying, and general office/cleaning duties.

5. Trade Helper (10 Posts) – A maintenance support role covering upkeep of equipment in the Operation Theatre, ICU, Diagnostics, Laboratory, and Engineering sections.

6. Clerk cum Telephone Operator (4 Posts) – An administrative role requiring EPBAX/exchange board handling experience along with good communication skills.

Leading Fireman – Physical Standards

Who Should Apply?

Given the range of posts in this single advertisement, here is who should pay close attention to specific roles:

• B.Sc. Nursing / GNM graduates with at least 1 year of clinical experience in a 50-bedded (or larger) hospital should apply for the Staff Nurse post. With 64 vacancies, this is the largest category in this notification, and freshers with the minimum 1-year experience requirement have a realistic chance.
• Experienced nurses with 5+ years in a 100-bedded hospital, especially those with oncology or hospital administration exposure, should target Staff Nurse Grade II — it pays more (Rs. 57,120 vs Rs. 53,880) but the experience bar is significantly higher.
• 12th pass candidates with formal fire safety training (from a State Fire Service Academy or a recognised Fire & Safety diploma) and 3 years of relevant industry experience should consider the Leading Fireman post — but only 3 seats are available, so this is highly competitive.
• 10th pass candidates from Guwahati and nearby areas looking for entry-level government/PSU-adjacent roles should look at Attendant and Trade Helper posts — these have a lower educational bar but still require 1 year of relevant hands-on experience for Trade Helper.
• Graduates with a Telephone Operator’s Course certificate and EPBAX experience, who are also comfortable in English, Hindi, and the local language (Assamese), are well-suited for the Clerk cum Telephone Operator post.
• This is a 6-month contractual position, extendable based on performance and project continuation — candidates looking strictly for permanent government jobs should keep this in mind before applying, though it can still serve as valuable experience for future government nursing/PSU recruitments.

Skills Required

• For Staff Nurse / Staff Nurse Grade II – Strong clinical nursing skills specific to oncology and haematology care, valid INC/State Nursing Council registration, completed Hepatitis B vaccination, and the ability to work in a high-pressure cancer care unit involving both adult and paediatric patients.
• For Leading Fireman – Hands-on knowledge of conventional and addressable fire alarm/suppression systems, physical fitness meeting the height and chest standards listed above, and a valid LMV/two-wheeler driving license.
• For Attendant – Basic literacy, ability to handle filing, dispatch, and photocopying tasks, and a willingness to assist with general office and cleaning duties.
• For Trade Helper – Basic technical aptitude for equipment maintenance and cleaning in clinical/lab environments (OT, ICU, Diagnostics, Engineering sections).
• For Clerk cum Telephone Operator – Good spoken and written communication in English, Hindi, and the local language, along with practical EPBAX/exchange board handling experience.
• Across all posts – Since this is a Tata Memorial Centre project under the Department of Atomic Energy, candidates should be comfortable with formal documentation requirements (original certificates, ID proof, experience letters) as verification is strict.

Selection Process

As per the official advertisement, the selection process for all six posts follows this structure:

1. Online Application Submission – Candidates apply through the official TMC online application portal before 21 June 2026, 5:30 PM IST.
2. Initial Screening – BBCI will screen all applications and shortlist eligible candidates based on qualification and experience. Note that merely meeting the minimum eligibility criteria does not guarantee a call for the next stage.
3. Written Examination / Skill Test / Interview – For all 6 posts (Sl. No. 1-6 in the official notification), the mode of selection is a Written Examination/Skill Test of 100 marks (MCQ/Subjective), covering the candidate’s area of specialisation/expertise, general knowledge, numerical aptitude, and current affairs. The exact mode (written test, skill test, or interview) may vary depending on the number of candidates shortlisted.
4. Document Verification – Shortlisted candidates must carry original documents (Aadhaar/PAN/Voter ID, birth certificate or school leaving certificate for date of birth, mark sheets and passing certificates, and experience letters/appointment letters/pay slips/NOC for current employment).
5. Final Selection – The list of shortlisted candidates for the MCQ/Viva will be uploaded on the official BBCI website. Selected candidates will be appointed on a 6-month contractual basis, extendable based on performance.

Important points to note: no TA/DA will be paid for attending the interview, accommodation will not be provided to outstation candidates, and all official communication will happen only through the email ID provided in the application — so candidates must ensure their email is valid and checked regularly.

How to Increase Your Chances of Selection

• Verify that you meet all eligibility criteria before applying.
• Keep educational, experience, and identity documents ready for verification.
• Nursing candidates should ensure their Hepatitis B vaccination requirements are fulfilled.
• Regularly check your registered email ID for recruitment updates.

Common Mistakes to Avoid While Applying

• Submitting an incomplete application. The notification clearly states that incomplete applications will be summarily rejected — fill in every required field and upload all requested documents (photo, signature, etc.) in the correct format.
• Applying without verifying the bed-strength requirement. For Staff Nurse roles, “1 year clinical experience” must specifically be in a hospital meeting the bed-strength criteria (50-bedded for Staff Nurse, 100-bedded for Staff Nurse Grade II) — applying with unrelated experience may lead to rejection at the screening stage.
• Assuming this is a permanent government job. This is explicitly a contractual position for 6 months (extendable), with no right to claim permanent employment — plan your job search accordingly if you need long-term stability.
• Ignoring the age relaxation clause if eligible. If you have worked with TMC or any TMC project/unit before (even on contract), you are entitled to a 5-year age relaxation — don’t skip mentioning this if it applies to you, as it could make you eligible for posts you’d otherwise be too old for.
• Not keeping originals ready in advance. Since original documents (Aadhaar, PAN, Voter ID, birth certificate, mark sheets, experience certificates) are mandatory at the interview/test stage and no relaxation is given for missing documents, organise these well before the call comes.
