PMBI Recruitment 2026 (178 Posts) | Advt No. 02/2026 — Apply Offline Till 24 September
Pharmaceuticals & Medical Devices Bureau of India (PMBI), the implementing agency behind the Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Janaushadhi Pariyojana (PMBJP), has opened applications for 178 contractual posts across 44 designations. Applications started on 3 September 2026 and close on 24 September 2026, 5:00 PM, submitted offline by post/courier. If you’re in Pharmacy, Sales & Marketing, Finance, HR, IT, or Legal, this is genuinely worth a look — vacancies span everything from entry-level Executive roles to General Manager positions.
About the Recruitment
This recruitment covers 11 broad departments — Sales & Marketing, Procurement, Quality, Logistics & Supply Chain, Finance & Accounts, IT & MIS, HR & Administration, Legal, Media, Grievance Division, International Assistance Division, and Coordination Cell. The bulk of the hiring is actually at the Senior Executive and Assistant Manager levels, which together make up over half the total vacancies. One thing genuinely worth knowing: B.Pharma isn’t required for every post here — graduates without a pharmacy background are eligible for Assistant Manager (Sales & Marketing), Senior Executive, Logistics & Supply Chain, HR, Legal, and Coordination Cell posts, so this isn’t purely a pharmacy-sector drive.

Eligibility Criteria
Qualification genuinely varies across all 44 posts — Pharmacist and Senior Pharmacist posts need a B.Pharma degree, while many other roles across Sales & Marketing, Logistics, HR, Legal, and Coordination Cell accept any graduate degree, matched with the required relevant experience for that specific level. Given how many distinct posts this notification covers, it’s worth checking the exact qualification and experience table for your target post carefully rather than assuming general eligibility.
Vacancy & Salary Details (Total: 178 Posts)
| Level | Approx. Consolidated Pay (Monthly) |
|---|---|
| General Manager | Up to ₹1,58,000 |
| Deputy Manager / Assistant Manager | Mid-range, as per post-wise notification |
| Executive / Marketing Officer / Pharmacist (Entry-level) | ₹32,500 |
On top of the consolidated pay, all posts carry Conveyance Allowance, Telephone Allowance, Provident Fund as per norms, Group Mediclaim, Group Term Life Insurance, and Group Accidental Insurance. The contract runs for an initial 3 years, with a 6-month observation period in the first year — and worth noting, liquidated damages apply if you resign within that first year.
Selection Process
Selection runs through Initial Screening, followed by a Written Examination, and finally a Personal Interaction cum Interview. No TA/DA is paid for appearing in either the written exam or the interview, so factor that into your planning if you’re traveling for these stages. Selected candidates are also liable to be transferred or posted anywhere in India at PMBI’s discretion.
Documents Required
Keep these ready: recent passport-size photograph, your educational qualification certificates matching your target post, age proof, experience certificates confirming your relevant work background, the original ₹100 Demand Draft, and a valid ID proof.
