About the Staff Nurse Role
Staff Nurses provide direct patient care in clinical settings, administer medications, maintain medical records, and assist physicians during procedures. As an A-Grade Nurse under FPL-6, you will be part of SKAU’s AYUSH healthcare delivery system. The role combines technical nursing skills with knowledge of Ayurvedic principles, positioning this as a specialised healthcare position in the university’s medical infrastructure. Career progression follows Haryana Government norms with opportunities for further advancement in nursing management or specialisation.
About the Ayurvedic Pharmacist Role
Ayurvedic Pharmacists prepare, compound, and dispense Ayurvedic medicines under strict quality protocols. This FPL-6 position requires both pharmacy expertise and knowledge of traditional Ayurvedic formulations. Working within SKAU’s AYUSH framework, you will manage pharmaceutical inventory, ensure regulatory compliance, and support the university’s teaching and clinical operations. The role demands precision, regulatory awareness, and commitment to traditional medicine standards.
About the Clerk Role
Clerks handle administrative and clerical duties including data entry, document management, file maintenance, and general office operations. At FPL-2, this is an entry-level administrative position requiring speed and accuracy in computer-based work. Notably, Clerks must qualify the State Eligibility Test in Computer Appreciation and Applications (SETC) within the two-year probation period; failure to do so results in no increments until qualification, with continued failure potentially leading to service discontinuation. The role demands strong organisational skills and computer proficiency.
