NEIGRIHMS Senior Resident Doctor Recruitment 2026: 58 Posts, 3rd Cut-Off 20 Nov

NEIGRIHMS Senior Resident Doctor Recruitment 2026 has opened its third cut-off, with 58 posts across 25 departments in Shillong. Applications go by email only, to [email protected], and must reach the institute by 20 November 2026 at 5:30 pm. The post pays Level 11 of the pay matrix, with entry pay of Rs 67,700 a month plus NPA and allowances.

This is an update to a rolling advertisement, not a fresh one. The original advertisement is No. EST-II-RSRD0APSR/1/2024-Estt.II dated 19 May 2026. The second cut-off closed on 7 September 2026. The institute put this notice, dated 8 November 2026, on its website on 9 November, and it refreshes the NEIGRIHMS SRD vacancy list for the third cut-off. If you applied in an earlier cut-off and missed out, this is a new window with a new vacancy list, so check the departments again before you decide.

Where the 58 posts sit

General Medicine has the most posts with 7, followed by Anaesthesiology and General Surgery with 6 each. Neurology, Neurosurgery, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Paediatrics, Pathology, Radiodiagnosis and Surgical Oncology have 3 each. Community Medicine, Orthopaedics and Radiation Oncology have 2 each. The remaining eleven departments, Anatomy, Burns and Plastic Surgery, Cardiology, CTVS, Dermatology, Microbiology, Ophthalmology, Pain and Palliative Care, Pharmacology, Physiology, TB and Respiratory Diseases and Urology, have one post each. That adds to 58.

The numbers include backlog vacancies. The notice reserves three posts for persons with benchmark disabilities in the non-surgical departments, under Government of India policy. A few reserved posts carry an asterisk in the notice. If no reserved category candidate is available for one of those, the institute can consider a General or other category candidate for adhoc appointment against it. The notice names the departments where this applies: 3 posts in General Medicine, 2 in General Surgery and 1 in Obstetrics and Gynaecology, all against OBC posts.

Who can apply

You need a postgraduate degree, MD, MS or DNB, in the respective specialty, after a medical qualification included in Schedule I and II of the 3rd Schedule to the Indian Medical Council Act 1956. You must have completed the compulsory internship after MBBS and be registered with any State Medical Council or the National Medical Commission. The notice prints no minimum experience, only an experience certificate if applicable.

The age limit is 45 years. The institute counts age, qualification and experience on the last date of submission, 20 November 2026 at 5:30 pm, which the notice calls the crucial date. SC and ST candidates get up to 5 years of relaxation and OBC non-creamy layer candidates up to 3 years, on vacancies reserved for them. Physically handicapped candidates get relaxation as per Government of India norms.

Two certificate rules are easy to miss. OBC non-creamy layer candidates must produce the latest certificate issued by the competent authority during the current financial year, 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. EWS candidates must attach a certificate in the form prescribed at Annexure-II. An EWS seat that stays unfilled does not carry forward, and other category candidates may apply provisionally for it as unreserved candidates.

How to apply by email

There is no online portal and no postal form. Fill the prescribed proforma at Annexure-I, attach scanned copies of your self attested certificates, and email the set to [email protected] on or before 20 November 2026, 5:30 pm. The Annexure-I form sits with the notice on the NEIGRIHMS advertisements page.

The documents to attach are one recent passport size photo, your date of birth certificate, SC, ST or latest OBC non-creamy layer certificate if applicable, MBBS passed certificate, MBBS marksheets, MBBS attempt certificate and MBBS internship completion certificate, MCI or NMC eligibility certificate if you passed from a foreign medical institution, the screening test result if applicable, MD, MS or DNB passed certificate, medical registration certificate for MBBS and MD, MS or DNB, NOC from your present employer if employed, experience certificate if applicable, residence certificate or Aadhaar card or voter ID and passport, and a character certificate.

Employed candidates should treat the NOC as a hard requirement. The notice says applicants employed under the State or Central Government or a PSU or autonomous body must produce an NOC from the competent authority, failing which the institute will not allow them to appear for interview under any circumstances. The same applies to the relieving order for candidates who resigned from such a job. The Mandatory Medical Public Services Policy governs candidates sponsored by the Government of Meghalaya for MBBS or MD or MS with bond obligations, in lieu of an NOC.

The notice does not mention an application fee anywhere in its pages, so this post does not claim one. Check the Annexure-I form itself before you send the email, in case the form carries a fee instruction the notice does not.

What happens after you apply

The institute screens the documents first and only eligible candidates appear in the interview. The interview date is not in the notice. The institute will publish it on its website, so watch neigrihms.gov.in after 20 November. Bring the original documents to the interview. The institute pays no travelling allowance for attending it, though it provides accommodation as per availability.

The notice itself does not state a tenure. The original rolling advertisement runs under the Government of India Residency Scheme. If you are weighing this against other residency posts open this month, the JSSH Senior Resident recruitment has 70 regular Senior Resident posts in Delhi with applications closing on 8 December, and the AMU Senior Resident recruitment is another residency route for postgraduates. The NEIGRIHMS drive is the one for doctors who want Shillong and can send the application by email before 5:30 pm on 20 November.

Download Annexure-I from neigrihms.gov.in, get your OBC non-creamy layer certificate dated inside the current financial year if you need one, and send the email well before the deadline. An email that reaches the institute at 5:29 pm with a missing document still counts as a missed application.
