Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia (RML) Hospital in New Delhi wants to fill 158 Junior Resident (Non-Academic) posts, and the pay starts at Rs 56,100 a month. A Junior Resident is a doctor who has finished MBBS and works in the hospital’s departments. The notice calls these posts “regular”, but the stay is short: six months at first, which can be extended up to one year if your department head is happy with your work. There is no online form. You must hand in or post a paper form so that it reaches the hospital by 3:00 PM on 21.10.2026.
You need your DMC (Delhi Medical Council) registration certificate, or the acknowledgement showing you have applied for it, to sit the exam. The permanent DMC registration certificate is a must when you join.
Internship
You must have finished your internship before the last date of application. If you completed it on or before 21.10.2024, you are not eligible.
Earlier Junior Residency
If you have already completed Junior Residency (JR) in any government organisation, you are not eligible.
So an OBC doctor who is 32 on 21.10.2026 can still apply, because the 3 extra years take the limit to 33. For SC and ST candidates the limit is 35.
Not sure whether you are within the age limit?
Enter your date of birth, the cut-off date 21.10.2026 and your category relaxation to see instantly whether you are inside the limit of 30 years (33 for OBC, 35 for SC and ST).
The hospital checks every form and its documents. The list of eligible candidates and, later, the list of rejected candidates go on the hospital website. The rejected list is due on 05.11.2026, and you can object by email only, by 10.11.2026.
2. Written exam
50 MCQs (multiple-choice questions), 1 hour, on 29.11.2026. Admit cards go up on the website on 14.11.2026. The notice does not give the marks per question, negative marking or a syllabus.
3. Result
The marks-wise result comes the day after the exam. The category-wise result follows within 4 to 5 days.
4. Counselling
Departments are given out by counselling, on your written-exam score (category-wise), according to the seats available or the hospital’s need. You cannot claim a particular department.
5. Document check and joining
Selected and waitlisted candidates get an appointment only after their original documents are verified. At joining you must also submit an undertaking about your Hepatitis B vaccination status.
In short: only your written-exam score counts, and the notice mentions no interview. The same score is used in counselling, when departments are given out by merit and seats left.
