Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not wait for a call letter or email — no individual intimation is sent, and it is the candidate’s own responsibility to check the AIIMS Bhubaneswar website.
- Do not arrive with only one set of photocopies — the notification asks for two photocopies of the application form and supporting documents.
- Do not leave the original documents at home; originals are compulsory for verification at the venue.
- Do not count experience gained before completing the qualifying degree — for SRF and PTS-III the notification specifically asks for post-qualification experience.
- Do not bring any recommendation or attempt to influence the selection — the notification states such candidates will be summarily rejected.
- Do not treat this as a regular AIIMS job — it is a 12-month contractual project post with no PF, LTC or medical claim, and no claim to permanent employment.
