Eligibility Criteria
Criterion
Detail
Educational Qualification
As per NMC (National Medical Commission, which used to be the MCI) guidelines. You need the post-MBBS degrees (MD, MS, DNB or similar) that the NMC asks for the post you choose
Medical Registration
Updated registration with the NMC or a State Medical Council. If it is not updated, you must show proof that you have applied for it, otherwise you may not be interviewed or your result may be held back
The contract runs for one year or until you turn 70, whichever comes first
Retired or Working Professors
May apply for Associate Professor posts and will be paid the Professor scale
No Objection Certificate (NOC)
If you work in a Government, autonomous or statutory body, bring an NOC from your employer. If you do not have it yet, bring a copy of your NOC application
EWS Certificate
As per Annexure I of the DoPT Office Memorandum No. 36039/1/2019-Estt (Res) dated 31.01.2019
OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) Certificate
In the Central Government job format, issued not more than one year before the interview, by an officer not below the rank of Sub-Divisional Officer
Private Practice
Not allowed in any form once you join
So you can apply if you are 69 or younger on 18.11.2026, and the notice mentions no age relaxation for any category. Even if you join, the job ends at age 70 at the latest.
Not sure whether you are within the age limit?
Enter your date of birth and the cut-off date of 18.11.2026 to see at once whether you are inside the 69-year limit.
This is a one-year contract job, not a regular post. You get no PF, pension, gratuity, medical benefits, seniority or promotion, and either side can end the contract with one month’s notice.
There is no written exam. If your degrees, publications and experience are strong, the interview is where you win the post.
Your pay follows your biometric attendance, so you are paid for the hours you actually mark. Staying away for more than 7 days without permission ends the contract automatically.
A retired or working Professor can apply for Associate Professor and be paid at the Professor scale. Retired pensioners can keep drawing their pension while they work here.
Skip this one if you want to run a private practice on the side, because the notice bans it, or if you cannot show an updated medical registration or proof that you have applied for it.
Selection Process
Stage
Details
1. Email your application
Send a scanned copy of the application form with supporting documents to dean-bihta.bh@esic.gov.in before 12 noon on 18.11.2026. Apply separately for each post, in the prescribed format only
2. Interview before the Selection Board
Held offline on 19.11.2026 (pre-clinical and para-clinical) and on the clinical date confirmed by the hospital. You bring the original form, original documents and the original Demand Draft, if a fee applies
3. What counts
The Board decides on your academic record and how you do in the interview. The notice does not give marks or weightage for either
4. Result and offer
The result goes up on mcpatna.esic.gov.in and esic.gov.in. The offer of appointment comes by email, and you join as that offer says, with your updated Medical Registration Certificate
In short: you email your papers first, then attend the interview in person, and the Selection Board picks candidates from their academic record and interview. Being called to the interview is only provisional until your documents are checked.
