Not sure whether you are within the age limit?
Enter your date of birth and the cut-off date, 30.10.2026, and see in seconds whether you fall inside the limit for your post. The maximum runs from 35 to 50 years depending on the post.
TMC first picks candidates from the details you fill in the online form. It can set minimum standards or cut-off marks and limit how many people it calls, so meeting the basic rules does not guarantee a call.
Step 2: Interview (posts 1 to 9)
This is the only stage after screening for the 7 Medical Officer posts, Scientific Officer ‘D’ and Medical Physicist ‘C’. The notice says there is no paper pattern and no syllabus for these posts.
Step 2: Written test (posts 10 and 11)
For Scientific Officer ‘SB’ and Scientific Assistant ‘C’. The test is 100 marks of multiple-choice questions (MCQ) from your area of specialisation.
Step 3: Interview (posts 10 and 11)
These two posts also have an interview. The notice does not say how marks are split between the test and the interview, or what the passing mark is.
Document check
Called candidates must carry originals plus one set of copies of their date of birth, education, experience, caste and disability documents. Without them you will not be allowed to appear.
In short: for posts 1 to 9 the interview is the only stage after your form is screened. Posts 10 and 11 add a 100-mark multiple-choice test. The notice gives no date for any stage yet.
