This one is only for doctors who already run their own clinic in Vijayawada. The National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC), a centre of ISRO, wants an Authorized Medical Officer (AMO) to treat the people covered by its staff health scheme, the Contributory Health Service Scheme (CHSS). The job is purely contractual, so it is not a regular government post, and your application must reach NRSC by e-mail on or before 16.11.2026.

Eligibility Criteria
| Criterion | Detail |
|---|---|
| Educational Qualification | MBBS with valid permanent Medical Council registration |
| Experience | At least 2 years. Only experience gained after you got valid Medical Council registration is counted. |
| Clinic | You must be a practising doctor with an established clinic in Vijayawada. If your clinic is not in the advertised area, your candidature is cancelled. |
| Nationality | Indian citizens only |
| Age Limit | Not specified in notification |
In short, this is only for a practising doctor who already has a clinic in Vijayawada and has worked for at least two years since getting registered.
Who Should Apply
- This is a contract, not a government job. Being selected gives you no claim to a regular post in NRSC or any other ISRO or Department of Space centre, and NRSC can end the engagement early if it decides to.
- You work from your own clinic, so the hours must fit alongside your current practice. The notice asks for at least 6 hours a day, Monday to Saturday, plus Sunday mornings.
- Retired government doctors are specifically encouraged to apply.
- If you are shortlisted, an NRSC team will visit and inspect your clinic. The clinic and its facilities matter as much as your papers.
Selection Process
| Stage | Details |
|---|---|
| 1. Initial Screening | NRSC shortlists candidates based on the academic record and other details given in the application. |
| 2. Clinic Inspection | An NRSC team visits the clinic of each shortlisted candidate to check its facilities. You will be told the inspection details by e-mail or phone. |
| At the Inspection | Bring the hard copy of your filled application form and the original certificates for your qualification, experience and Medical Council registration, plus any other relevant papers. Without them, your candidature is cancelled. |
| Written Test or Interview | None mentioned in the notification |
In short, there is no exam. NRSC first picks from your application papers, then visits your clinic.
Honorarium and Benefits
| Component | Detail |
|---|---|
| Type of Payment | Honorarium (a fixed fee, not a salary), based on the number of prime beneficiaries attached to you |
| 10 to 30 prime beneficiaries | Rs 8,000 |
| 31 to 50 prime beneficiaries | Rs 11,000 |
| 51 to 100 prime beneficiaries | Rs 15,000 |
| How Often It Is Paid | Not specified in notification |
| Other Costs | NRSC bears no cost other than the honorarium. NRSC CHSS Administration supplies the prescription and referral books. |
In plain terms, you earn between Rs 8,000 and Rs 15,000 depending on how many members are attached to you. The notice does not say how often this is paid and does not explain the term prime beneficiaries, so it is worth asking NRSC before you apply.
How to Apply
- Read the full official notification and fill in the application form given as Annexure-I.
- Pay the Rs 500 application fee the way Annexure-II describes, and keep the payment receipt.
- Scan your MBBS degree or Medical Council registration certificate and your experience certificates. Make the scans clear, and self-attest each copy.
- E-mail the filled form, the scanned certificates and the fee receipt to chssamo@nrsc.gov.in. Use this subject line: “Application for the purely contractual position of Authorized Medical Officer at Vijayawada”.
- Send the e-mail on or before 16.11.2026. Applications received after that date are not considered.
Note: Hard copies are not accepted at the application stage. You show the hard copy of the form and your originals only at the clinic inspection.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Send your application by e-mail only. NRSC does not accept hard copies.
- Attach the fee receipt. Incomplete applications, and those without the receipt, are rejected without being considered.
- Count experience only from the date you got your Medical Council registration. Earlier experience does not count.
- Apply only if your clinic is in Vijayawada. If it is somewhere else, your candidature is cancelled.
- Do not ask anyone to recommend you, and do not write to NRSC again and again. Canvassing (lobbying for selection) disqualifies you, and NRSC does not entertain interim letters.
- Keep your original certificates ready for the clinic inspection.
