The Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Bureau of India has announced 178 contractual vacancies under Advertisement No. 02/2026 for posts including General Manager, Deputy General Manager, Manager, Assistant Manager, Senior Executive, Executive, Senior Marketing Officer, Marketing Officer, Senior Pharmacist, and Pharmacist across multiple departments. The application deadline has been extended to 15 October 2026, 5:00 PM.

Candidates must submit their applications offline to the CEO, PMBI, New Delhi, along with an application fee of Rs 100. Eligibility varies by post and department, with maximum ages ranging from 28 to 55 years and required experience from 1 to 18 years in the pharmaceutical sector. Essential qualifications include B.Pharma, M.Pharma, B.Sc. in relevant fields, or BVSc and AH for veterinary-related posts.
PMBI, established under the Department of Pharmaceuticals, manages the Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Janaushadhi Pariyojana, which operates affordable generic medicine stores across India. These 178 contractual hires will likely support the scheme's expansion to more than 10,000 outlets, a target the government set in 2024. Candidates should note that contractual posts at PMBI often get renewed based on performance, but they do not guarantee permanent government service. The real item to track is the number of applications received by 15 October: a high volume would signal strong interest in government-linked pharma jobs despite contractual terms.
