AIIMS Bhopal Senior Resident Recruitment 2026: 92 Posts, Apply by 15 Nov

AIIMS Bhopal Senior Resident Recruitment 2026 has 92 Senior Resident (Non-Academic) posts open, and the online form closes on 15 November 2026. The advertisement, AIIMS Bhopal/SR (Non-Acad.)/2026/08, came out on 30 October 2026. You apply online through aiimsbhopal.edu.in, and the notification puts the interview in the last week of November 2026.

The 92 posts are not one list. Annexure IV of the notification splits them into two tables, and the two tables carry different tenures. That split matters, because the second set of posts runs for six months at most, while the first set can run for three years.

AIIMS Bhopal Senior Resident Recruitment 2026 at a glance

The 92 posts split into two lists

The first list covers serial numbers 1 to 26 and has 64 posts across 26 departments. General Medicine and General Surgery lead it with 8 posts each, followed by Anesthesiology with 5. The second list covers serial numbers 27 to 40 and has 28 posts across 14 departments, with Cardiothoracic Surgery and Paediatric Surgery at 5 each. The notification reserves three of the 92 posts for persons with benchmark disabilities.

Tenure is where the two lists part ways. Posts in the first list start at one year and can extend up to three years. Posts in the second list run for a maximum of six months, extendable by another six months. The notification says the second list uses vacant academic seats from the three year seat matrix, which is why the shorter tenure applies.

One rule applies to both lists. If you have already completed three years as a Senior Resident anywhere, you cannot apply. If you have served part of that period, only the balance counts, so the total never crosses three years.

Who can apply

You need a postgraduate medical degree, MD, MS, DNB or MDS, in the respective discipline, recognised by the National Medical Commission, the Dental Council of India or an Institute of National Importance. You also need valid registration with the National Medical Commission, a State Medical Council or the Dental Council of India. Your qualifying degree must be complete on or before the date of interview, and only candidates who have passed by then can apply.

The age ceiling is 45 years as on the date of interview. Relaxation is 3 years for OBC candidates on the Central List, 5 years for SC and ST candidates, and 10, 13 or 15 years for PwBD candidates depending on category. There is no minimum age in the notification.

Super speciality departments take a wider net. A relevant MD, MS or DNB can apply there, and for Medical Oncology and Haematology, candidates with DM or DNB in the speciality can also apply. Trauma and Emergency Medicine accepts MD, MS or DNB in Medicine, Emergency Medicine, Surgery, Orthopaedics, Paediatrics or Anesthesiology.

Fee, pay and the demand draft

The fee is Rs 1,500 for General, OBC and EWS candidates. SC, ST, PwBD and women candidates pay nothing. The fee goes by demand draft only, drawn in favour of Executive Director, AIIMS, Bhopal. The institute does not refund it in any circumstance. If you apply to more than one department, you pay a separate fee for each application.

Pay is Rs 67,700 a month at Level 11, Cell 01 under the 7th Central Pay Commission, plus usual allowances including Non Practicing Allowance. The same Level 11 starting basic shows up in other AIIMS pay structures, and the site's guide to nursing superintendent pay puts the AIIMS Level 11 figure in context alongside the RRB Level 7 figure. The post is purely temporary and need based, and appointees may have to work in shifts, and the institute can post them anywhere. The institute prohibits private practice of any type after appointment.

How to apply, and the walk in fallback

Fill the online form on aiimsbhopal.edu.in before 15 November 2026. Keep a printout of the filled form, because you carry it to the interview along with the demand draft and your original documents. The institute plans to hold the interviews in the last week of November 2026, and it will publish the schedule on its website. The institute pays no TA or DA for appearing.

There is an unusual second chance built into this advertisement. If you miss the 15 November closing date, you can still report directly on the interview day with all your certificates and the offline form, which the Registrar office makes available. That is worth knowing, but it is not a plan. The online form is the normal route, and the walk in option depends on the institute publishing the interview schedule first.

At the interview, carry originals plus one set of self attested copies of your identity proof, address proof, date of birth certificate, UG and PG marksheets and degree, internship completion and attempt certificates, registration certificate, and category certificate if you claim reservation. Five recent passport size photographs are also required. Foreign graduates need the FMGE certificate from the National Board of Examinations, and anyone in government service needs a No Objection Certificate from the present employer. The institute will not consider candidates who cannot produce the originals.

Date of birth settles tie cases in the interview, with the older candidate ranked above the younger one. Selected candidates face a medical examination, and the institute can withdraw an offer if it finds the candidate unfit. Any addendum or corrigendum will appear only on aiimsbhopal.edu.in, so check the site rather than waiting for a letter.

If you are a doctor weighing a Senior Resident stint against a Junior Resident post, the NEIGRIHMS Junior Resident Doctors recruitment for 14 MBBS posts closes on 18 November 2026, and the VMMC Senior Resident recruitment has 470 posts with a 25 November 2026 deadline. Both are on this site, and both pay at a different level, so read the two advertisements side by side before you pick one.
