How to Apply for NEIAFMR Pasighat Recruitment 2026
- Check that you meet the essential qualification and the age limit for your post.
- Download the application format from the institute’s website, www.neiafmr.org.in, and fill it in.

- Reach NEIAFMR, Pasighat, by 10:30 AM on 9 November 2026.
Address: NEIAFMR, Opp. APST Bus Terminus, High Region, Pasighat – 791102, Arunachal Pradesh.
Documents to Carry
The notice asks for your original testimonials and, through its note, the application format. It doesn’t list photocopies or photographs, so bring a set of copies and two passport-size photographs as a precaution. Your certificates should show your qualification, your age, and your NET or GATE result if you want the higher pay.
Important Instructions
- The engagement is purely contractual, and it ends with the project. You can’t claim continuance or a regular appointment.
- The posts are temporary for an initial one year. The institute may cut the service short, or extend it, depending on your performance and the project’s needs.

Travelling From Meghalaya
Pasighat is in Arunachal Pradesh, well outside Meghalaya, and the interview is tomorrow. Plan the journey before you commit, because the institute pays no travel allowance and lets nobody in after 10:30 AM. If you can’t reach Pasighat in time, don’t risk the trip. Check the institute’s website for any later walk-in.
How to Prepare for the Walk-In Interview
The notice doesn’t describe the interview, so these tips come from what these jobs ask for:
- Know the project. Read its title again: a Regional Raw Drug Repository. Be ready to say, in a sentence or two, why you suit work on medicinal plants and raw drugs.
- Revise your subject. Taxonomy candidates should revise plant identification and collection. Pharmacognosy candidates should revise pharmacognostical techniques. Chemistry and Microbiology candidates should refresh their lab basics.
- Talk about your experience. If you have two years in research or a science organisation, prepare to describe what you actually did. Mention your dissertation or project work too.
- Show your writing. The institute lists drafting and editing technical reports as a desirable skill. Carry a sample of your writing if you have one.
- IT and administrative candidates: be ready to explain the software, data or office work you’ve handled.
- Plan the morning. Reach early, keep your originals in one folder, and carry your ID.
Good preparation helps you answer clearly, but the institute decides the result, and nobody can promise you a place.
