DM Govt Jobs 2026

DM is a super speciality medical qualification taken after a postgraduate degree, so government openings for it are senior clinical and faculty posts in the medical disciplines. Common categories include:

• Assistant Professor posts in super speciality departments of government medical colleges and institutes
• Senior Resident posts in super speciality units of central institutes and medical colleges
• Consultant and Senior Consultant posts in central and state government hospitals
• Specialist cadre posts in the Central Health Service and comparable state health services
• Posts in cardiology, neurology, nephrology, gastroenterology, endocrinology and medical oncology departments
• Faculty and clinical posts in AIIMS, PGIMER, JIPMER, ESIC and other autonomous medical institutes

All of these are clinical posts, so valid registration with the National Medical Commission or the relevant state medical council is required in addition to the qualification.

The Union Public Service Commission recruits for specialist cadre posts in the Central Health Service, and the central institutes - AIIMS, PGIMER, JIPMER, NIMHANS and comparable autonomous bodies - advertise faculty and Senior Resident posts on their own. The Employees State Insurance Corporation, railway hospitals and defence medical establishments recruit super speciality consultants from time to time. At the state level, directorates of medical education, health and family welfare departments, state public service commissions, medical services recruitment boards, government medical colleges and municipal corporations are the regular recruiters, and a large share of these posts are filled through walk-in interviews held at the institute.

Faculty and cadre posts are applied for on the official portal named in the notification, while a substantial number of Senior Resident and consultant posts are filled by walk-in interview at the recruiting institute with no online stage at all, so the mode of application is the first thing to check. Keep the MBBS, postgraduate and DM certificates, the internship certificate, the medical council registration certificate, experience certificates and a list of publications ready before starting. Where a walk-in is advertised, the notification usually requires originals plus a set of self attested copies on the day, and late reporting is treated strictly. Pay the fee online where a portal is used and save the confirmation page.

The usual requirement is MBBS followed by a postgraduate degree in the feeder speciality, normally MD or an equivalent qualification, and then DM in the relevant super speciality from a recognised institution, together with valid registration with the National Medical Commission or a state medical council. For faculty appointments there is a point worth knowing - the National Medical Commission notified the Medical Institutions (Qualifications of Faculty) Regulations 2025 in the Gazette on 30 June 2025, superseding the 2022 regulations, and these set out the qualifications, experience and age conditions for appointment as faculty in medical colleges. Because recruiting institutions apply the regulations in force on the date of the advertisement, the eligibility clause of the specific notification is the deciding document. Age limits differ between central and state recruitments and are stated separately in each advertisement.

Yes - common after-DM government job options include Assistant Professor posts in super speciality departments of government medical colleges, Senior Resident posts in central institutes, Consultant and Senior Consultant posts in central and state hospitals, and specialist cadre posts in the Central Health Service and state health services. This page lists the current openings together with the newest notification first, so the post, the recruiting body and the last date can be seen in one place.

This page is refreshed through 2026 as new super speciality notifications are released, with the most recent vacancy at the top. These posts are advertised in small numbers by individual institutes and medical colleges rather than through one common examination, and many are walk-in interviews announced only a week or two in advance, so checking regularly matters more here than for most qualifications. Open the official notification before applying to confirm the speciality, the mode of selection and the reporting date.

Pay for these posts depends a great deal on the kind of institution recruiting. Specialist Grade III posts in the Central Health Service are placed at Pay Level 11 of the 7th Pay Commission with a starting basic pay of ₹67,700, and Assistant Professor posts in state government medical colleges are commonly placed at the same level, rising through the higher levels with service and promotion. Senior Resident posts in central institutes are placed at the same Pay Level 11, although these are fixed tenure appointments rather than regular cadre posts. Assistant Professor posts in the central institutes are set considerably higher - at the All India Institutes of Medical Sciences and comparable autonomous institutes the post is placed at Pay Level 12 with a starting basic pay of ₹1,01,500. Non-Practising Allowance, currently 20 percent of basic pay, is admissible subject to the prescribed conditions. Dearness allowance, house rent allowance and transport allowance are paid over the basic pay. State scales are fixed separately and contractual consultant posts carry a consolidated monthly amount, so the pay clause of each notification is the correct reference.

Selection is usually by shortlisting on qualification, experience and publications followed by an interview before a selection board, along with document verification and confirmation of medical council registration. A large share of Senior Resident and consultant posts are filled by walk-in interview held at the recruiting hospital on a single day. Regular Central Health Service specialist posts are filled through the Union Public Service Commission using a recruitment test or interview as set out in the advertisement. Faculty posts in medical colleges add a scrutiny of teaching experience and research work, and some institutes ask for a presentation. The exact stages are given in each notification.
