Recruitment Overview

Important Dates

Application Fee

The fee is paid online only. If you apply for more than one post, you must fill a separate form and pay the fee again for each post.

Vacancy Details

UR means unreserved (open to everyone), and EWS means Economically Weaker Sections. The notice calls 36 of these posts current vacancies and 46 backlog vacancies (reserved posts carried forward because they were not filled earlier; the notice does not explain the term).

• Prof. = Professor, Addl. Prof. = Additional Professor, Assoc. Prof. = Associate Professor, Asst. Prof. = Assistant Professor.
• 3 of the 82 posts are kept for PwBD candidates. The notice names these departments as suitable: Anatomy, Community Medicine and Family Medicine, Dermatology, Endocrinology and Metabolism, Gastroenterology, General Medicine, Hospital Administration, Microbiology, Nephrology, Neurology, Nuclear Medicine, Paediatrics, Pathology / Lab Medicine, Pharmacology, Physiology, Psychiatry, Pulmonary Medicine, Radio Diagnosis, Radio Therapy, and Transfusion Medicine and Blood Bank.
• Five posts marked $ in the notice (1 Associate Professor and 4 Assistant Professor) are advertised under Burns and Plastic Surgery but will be filled against posts sanctioned for the Burn Centre.
• In Medical Oncology / Haematology, the Professor (UR, current) and Assistant Professor (ST, backlog) posts are for Haematology; the Professor (ST, backlog) and Additional Professor (UR, current) posts are for Medical Oncology.
• The one Professor (UR) post in Trauma and Emergency will be filled in the speciality of General Surgery.

What the Numbers Say

• Professor is the biggest group with 28 of the 82 posts. Assistant Professor comes next with 26, then Associate Professor with 16 and Additional Professor with 12 (Vacancy Details table above).
• 46 of the 82 posts (56.1%) are backlog vacancies, and 36 (43.9%) are current ones. Backlog posts are reserved posts carried forward from earlier rounds (the notice does not explain the term).
• Unreserved posts number 31 (37.8%). OBC has 24 (29.3%), SC has 16 (19.5%), ST has 10 (12.2%) and EWS has just 1, a Professor post in Burns and Plastic Surgery.
• Burns and Plastic Surgery has the most posts (8), followed by Surgical Oncology (6). Cardiothoracic Surgery, Neurosurgery, Radio Diagnosis and Surgical Gastroenterology have 5 each. 17 departments and centres have just one post each (Department table above).

Eligibility Criteria

Experience counts only after you got the qualification. It must be teaching or research experience at a recognised institution, and it must be recognised by the Medical Council of India or the Government of India.

SC and ST candidates get a one-year relaxation in the teaching or research experience, as DoPT rules allow. The Standing Selection Committee can also relax qualifications and experience in exceptional cases, with approval from the competent authority.

The relaxation does not apply if an SC, ST, OBC or EWS candidate applies against an unreserved post. Other categories get relaxation as DoPT instructions allow.

Who Should Apply

• This is a regular Group A faculty job on direct recruitment at a central institute, so it suits doctors and PhD holders who already have the years of teaching or research the post asks for. The qualification alone does not get you an interview.
• Posting is mainly Bhubaneswar, but the notice says selected candidates can be sent to outreach centres, Centres of Excellence, or rural and urban health centres, for a period the institute decides.
• The posts are whole-time and private practice is not allowed. Pension is under the New Pension Scheme, and probation is two years.
• There is no fixed written exam. AIIMS shortlists from the applications, and holds a screening test only if too many people apply.
• 46 of the 82 posts are backlog posts, and every one of them is reserved for OBC, SC or ST candidates (see the Vacancy Details tables).

Who should skip this one: government employees who cannot get an NOC from their employer, because the notice says you cannot sit the interview without one; anyone who plans to keep a private practice; and anyone who cannot get the signed hard copy to AIIMS within 7 days of the last date.

Selection Process

In short: AIIMS checks your papers first, may hold a screening test only if the applications are too many, and then interviews the shortlisted people. The notice does not give marks or weightage, because the Selection Committee decides the method.

Salary and Benefits

In plain terms, the Pay Matrix is the government’s pay-grade chart, and these figures are where pay starts, before allowances. An Assistant Professor starts at about Rs 1,01,500 a month and a Professor at about Rs 1,68,900, with NPA added for doctors.

How to Apply

1. Check that you meet the qualification, experience and age rules on the last date of online application.
2. Wait for the online form to open on the official website, aiimsbhubaneswar.nic.in. It goes live from the day the advertisement appears in Employment News.
3. Fill in the online form for the post you want and pay the fee online. Check that your photo and signature are clearly visible in the preview, or the form will be rejected.
4. Print the form, sign it, and attach self-attested copies of all your documents. Write ‘Application for the post of ____ in the Department of ____’ on the envelope.
5. Send it by Speed Post or courier so that it reaches AIIMS within 7 days of the last date, and keep an active email ID, because the interview schedule comes by email.

Note: The online form alone is not enough. A late hard copy can get your application rejected, and AIIMS says it is not responsible for postal delays.

Send the hard copy to this address:

Documents Required

The list follows paragraph 15.4 and the reservation rules of the notification. Original documents are checked at the interview.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Forgetting the hard copy. It must reach AIIMS within 7 days of the last date, and AIIMS says it is not responsible for postal delays.
• Uploading a photo or signature that looks small or unclear in the preview. The notice says such an application is rejected.
• Applying for two posts with one form. Each post needs its own online form and its own fee.
• Applying as a government employee without your employer’s permission. You cannot sit the interview without an NOC.
• Using an old certificate. The OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) certificate must be issued on or after 01.04.2026, and the EWS certificate must be from 2026-27.
• Paying anyone who promises you a selection. The notice warns against touts, and canvassing for the post is a disqualification.
