ESIC Hospital, Gwalior wants to fill 27 contract doctor posts, and you do not have to apply online. You fill in a form, carry your documents, and walk in to the Medical Superintendent’s office on 18.11.2026 between 9:00 and 11:00 AM.
This is a rolling notice, which means one notice that stays in use for many rounds. After 18.11.2026 the same walk-in repeats on the 3rd Wednesday of every month. The hospital says it will not put later rounds in newspapers, so the ESIC website is the only place to watch.
27 (UR 11, OBC 8, SC 4, ST 2, EWS 2): Specialist 12, Senior Resident (3 Years) 10, Senior Resident (1 Year) 5. The notice prints no grand total; this is the sum of its three tables.
Qualification
MBBS with MD/MS/DNB in the specialty (BDS with MDS for the Dental post). Specialists also need experience; see Eligibility Criteria.

UR means Unreserved (general) and EWS means Economically Weaker Section. The notice does not say which of the 12 Specialist posts are full time and which are part time. It also says the hospital can increase, decrease, add or remove posts at any stage, and that seats for persons with benchmark disability follow Government of India rules without a seat count.
Eligibility Criteria
Criterion
Detail
Senior Resident: qualification
MBBS from an institution recognised by the National Medical Commission (NMC, the body that registers doctors in India), the old Medical Council of India or a State Medical Council, plus a PG degree or diploma (MD/MS/DNB) in the specialty. No experience needed.
Senior Resident: if no PG doctor is available
An MBBS doctor with 2 years of experience, at least 1 year of it in the specialty, may be taken for one year. The experience must be from a government or private hospital, not a private clinic.
Specialist: qualification
MBBS with MD/MS/DNB in the specialty, or BDS with MDS from a recognised dental institution (for the Dental post).
Specialist: experience
3 years after the PG degree, or at least 5 years in the specialty after a PG diploma.
Medical registration
Registration with NMC or a State Medical Council is needed on the interview date. If you are not on the Madhya Pradesh Medical Council register, the notice asks you to register with it within 30 days of joining.
Result awaited
Not considered. You must hold the degree and registration on the interview date.
Age Limit
Senior Resident: not above 45 years. Specialist: not above 67 years. Counted on the interview date. Check your age eligibility →
Age Relaxation
SC, ST, OBC, PwBD (persons with benchmark disability) and ex-servicemen get relaxation as per DoPT (Department of Personnel and Training) rules. The notice gives no numbers.
In short: a doctor aged 44 on the interview date with an MD qualifies as a Senior Resident, but the same doctor needs 3 years of experience after the MD to be a Specialist. Age is checked on the day of each round, so a later round uses a later date.
Not sure whether you are within the age limit?
Enter your date of birth, use 18.11.2026 as the cut-off date and add your category relaxation to see instantly whether you are inside the 45 year limit for Senior Resident or the 67 year limit for Specialist.
These are contract jobs, not regular posts. Selected doctors have no claim to a permanent job, PF, pension, gratuity, medical allowance, seniority or promotion, and either side can end the contract with one month’s notice.
If you have just finished your MD, MS or DNB, look at the Senior Resident posts first, because they need no experience. The Specialist posts ask for 3 years after the PG degree.
The Part Time Specialist post suits a doctor who already works elsewhere: it is four hours a day for four days a week. Full Time Specialists and Senior Residents may not do private practice, and the notice has no such line for Part Time Specialists.
Do not come if your PG result is still awaited. The notice says only candidates who hold the degree and registration on the interview date will be considered.
You pay for your own travel and stay. The notice gives no TA/DA (travel allowance), no hostel, no quarters and no uniform.
Selection Process
Stage
Details
1. Reporting and document verification
9:00 to 11:00 AM at the Medical Superintendent’s office, Room No. 1. Bring the Annexure A form, the fee draft if you owe one, and originals with one set of self-attested copies. Nobody is let in after 11:00 AM. Only candidates whose documents are found in order go to the interview.
2. Walk-in interview
Held by the hospital’s selection board. The notice gives no marks, no minimum score and no time slot. The board’s decision is final.
3. Medical fitness and joining
Selected candidates need a medical fitness certificate from the Medical Board at ESIC Hospital Gwalior, an agreement on Rs 1,000 stamp paper and the Rs 10,000 security deposit. You join on the date in your offer letter.
In short: there is no written exam. Your papers are checked first, and only then are you interviewed. If you reach after 11:00 AM, you cannot even enter the document check.
