About Medical recruitment
Eligibility depends on the role — MBBS/MD for doctors, B.Sc/GNM nursing for nurses, D.Pharma/B.Pharma for pharmacists, and relevant diplomas for paramedical posts, usually with council registration. Selection may be through a written exam, interview or merit list. This page lists every live medical and health notification, result and admit card from official sources.
How health-sector recruitment works
Government medical hiring spans doctors (medical officers via state PSCs and UPSC CMS), nursing officers (the AIIMS NORCET common exam and state recruitments), paramedics (lab technician, pharmacist, radiographer through state boards), and community-health cadres (CHO/MLHP recruitment under National Health Mission). ESIC and railways run their own parallel health services with regular recruitment.
NHM contract posts are the volume driver in most states — recurring recruitment with state-level exams, and a common stepping stone to regular cadre posts.
Pay and demand in health careers
Medical officers enter around Pay Level 10 (₹56,100 basic) plus non-practicing allowance where applicable; nursing officers at Level 7 (₹44,900) in central institutions — AIIMS NORCET has become one of India's most-attempted health exams for exactly this reason. Paramedic posts run Levels 4–6. Health remains the most consistently recruiting government sector: retirements and expansion keep vacancies flowing every cycle.
