Eligibility
Meeting the eligibility criteria is the first and most important step for any applicant. Ensure you fulfill all conditions before proceeding with your application. | Criteria | Requirement |
| Education | Postgraduate qualification of MD/MS/DNB/MDS in the concerned subject; or M.Sc with Ph.D for specific departments; or MD/DNB in General Medicine/Surgery for Super Specialty departments. |

| Additional | Doctors serving under DME, DHS, NHM Assam, and other Government agencies are eligible; no separate NOC required. Weightage for doctors working under Rule 17A of MHRB Regulations or contractual engagement. |
Eligibility Explained Simply: - Educational Qualification: You must hold a postgraduate medical degree. For most departments, this means an MD, MS, DNB, or MDS in the relevant subject from a recognized Indian university or board. For specific departments like Anatomy, Biochemistry, and Physiology, an M.Sc (Medical) with a Ph.D in the respective medical subject is also accepted, as per NMC guidelines. For Super Specialty departments (like Cardiology, Plastic Surgery), an MD/DNB in General Medicine or MS/DNB in General Surgery is required, with preference given to candidates holding DM/M.Ch/DNB in the specific super specialty.
- Nationality: Only Indian citizens are eligible to apply for these government positions.
- Medical Registration: It is mandatory to have your medical qualification registered with either the Assam Council of Medical Registration, the Medical Council of India (MCI), or the National Medical Commission (NMC). This ensures you are a legally recognized medical practitioner.
- In-Service Doctors: If you are currently working as a doctor under the Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Directorate of Health Services (DHS), National Health Mission (NHM) Assam, or any other Government agency, you are eligible to apply. Importantly, you do not need a separate No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the State Government for these posts, which simplifies the application process for existing government employees.
- Weightage for Experience: The board will give preference or weightage to doctors who have prior experience working under Rule 17A of MHRB Regulations or those engaged contractually at a healthcare institute under the Medical Education & Research Department, including post-PG contractual engagements. This means relevant work experience can significantly boost your chances.

Selection Process Explained Simply: The initial step involves a thorough check of all submitted applications to ensure that candidates meet the basic eligibility requirements, such as holding the correct postgraduate qualification and valid medical registration. A significant aspect of this recruitment is the provision of weightage. This means that doctors who have prior experience working under specific MHRB regulations (Rule 17A) or those who have been contractually engaged in healthcare institutes under the Medical Education & Research Department (including post-PG contractual work) will receive preferential consideration. Similarly, for super specialty posts, candidates with DM/M.Ch/DNB in the relevant super specialty will be given preference. While the notification does not detail further stages like interviews or written tests, it is common for such specialized government positions to involve a merit-based assessment, possibly including an interview, where these weightage criteria would play a crucial role in the final selection. Candidates should prepare to present their qualifications and experience clearly. Salary
