A note on the last date

One job website has claimed that the last date was extended to 6 December 2026. That claim could not be verified from any official source: the official advertisement PDF says 26 November 2026, and the official ICMR advertisement page carries no mention of an extension or corrigendum. This post uses the official last date, 26 November 2026. Do not rely on the claimed extension.
