What This Means for You
If you were preparing to attend on 05.09.2026, that interview will not take place — the same round now happens on 28.09.2026 at ESIC Hospital, Sambamurthy Nagar, Kakinada.
You do not need to re-apply or submit anything fresh because of this corrigendum. Advertisement No. 05/2026 is a walk-in advertisement, so the application is handed over on the interview day itself.
Wait for the vacancy notice before travelling. The corrigendum says the total vacancies and the category-wise reservation roster for this round will be notified separately, so check esic.gov.in/recruitments for the department-wise list before 28.09.2026.
Age is reckoned on the date of interview under the original advertisement, so the reference date has effectively moved from 05.09.2026 to 28.09.2026 — recheck that you are still within 69 years (Full Time Specialist) or 45 years (Senior Resident) on the new date.
Carry the complete document set and the Demand Draft as prescribed in Advertisement No. 05/2026, and report by 9:00 AM — candidates who report later are not considered.
