OBC-NCL doctor, born 10.12.1990, applying for an OBC post. On 03.12.2026 this person is 35 years 11 months old. The 3-year relaxation lifts the limit to 36 years. ✅ Eligible, because of the 3-year relaxation.

Who Should Apply
This is a one-year temporary job for a doctor who has just finished MBBS and internship. The contract ends on its own after one year, and it can be renewed only if the institute needs you.
You are paid at Level 10 of the 7th CPC (the government pay scale), which starts at Rs 56,100 a month, plus allowances.
The notice picks people mainly on the interview. A written test is held only if there are too many candidates.
SC, ST and PwBD candidates and all women pay no application fee. Everyone else pays Rs 500.
The notice gives only a category-wise total of 36. It does not list the posts department by department.
Who should skip this
If your MBBS result or internship will not be done by 03.12.2026. Your candidature will be cancelled.
If you have already done three terms of Junior Residency anywhere.
If you want a permanent job. This post does not give a Provident Fund, pension, gratuity, seniority or promotion.
If you cannot work in shifts or be moved between casualty, wards, OPD, camps and rural or urban health centres. You also cannot do private practice.
If you work in a government or PSU job and cannot get a No Objection Certificate from your employer.

2. Document screening
A Screening Committee checks your documents before the interview. Only candidates it declares eligible are allowed to sit for the interview. Date to be intimated later.
3. Written test (only if needed)
Held only if many candidates apply. The notice gives no marks, syllabus or date for it.
4. Interview
Selection is on merit, judged through the interview. Attending the interview does not guarantee selection. The Executive Director’s decision is final.
5. Appointment
The offer is provisional until your educational and personal documents are verified. You need MCI / State Medical Council registration before joining.
In short: you are picked mainly on how you do in the interview, after your documents pass the screening. A written test comes in only if the institute gets too many applications.
