How to apply

Applications must be sent by email to ts.bal@nic.in and also as a hard copy through the proper channel to Sh. Tajinder Singh Bal, Under Secretary (NCST Division), Ministry of Tribal Affairs, Gate No. 2, Ground Floor, Jeevan Tara Building, Ashoka Road, Patel Chowk, New Delhi – 110001. The closing date is 11 January 2027 (see the note below on how that date is arrived at).

A note on the closing date and the verification basis

The circular's printed rule is that applications must reach within 60 days of the date of publication of the advertisement in the Employment News. The Employment News publication date is not printed in the circular, so 11 January 2027 is a computed date, agreed by FreeJobAlert and FreshersLive, and not a date printed in the circular itself. This post states that basis plainly.

The circular text was confirmed from the government-hosted Bihar mirror copy of the official circular and the tribal.nic.in archive listing; the official NCST and tribal.nic.in hosts would not load from here, so this post rests on secondary consensus. The same file number circulated in May 2026 with a covering letter dated 6 May 2026; FreeJobAlert states the covering letter for this circulation was digitally signed on 3 November 2026, indicating the circular was re-issued in November 2026. The May 2026 date is not carried into this post.

Application fee

No application fee is mentioned in the circular, so no fee is shown on this post. Do not pay any fee to anyone claiming to collect one for this post.
