Selection Process

Selection for these posts is based entirely on a merit list, without any interview.

1. Screening: If the total vacancies for a post are up to 10, candidates equal to 10 times the vacancy are called for verification. If vacancies are between 11 and 50, candidates equal to 5 times the vacancy are called.
2. Document Verification: Shortlisted candidates must appear with original documents. Missing original documents at this stage leads to disqualification from the skill test.
3. Skill/Written Test: A skill-based or computer-based test carrying 20 marks is held for eligible candidates. A minimum of 40% marks in this test is compulsory to qualify.
4. Final Merit List: The final list is prepared by combining marks from educational qualification, experience (including any COVID-19 bonus marks where applicable), and the skill/written test.

Since there is no interview stage, your academic percentage, experience certificates and performance in the skill test together decide your final selection and merit rank.

Documents Required

Keep the following original documents ready for verification.

• 10th mark sheet (as proof of date of birth)
• 12th mark sheet
• Mark sheets of all years of Graduation/Post-Graduation or other prescribed qualification

Since final selection depends on document verification, make sure every certificate you upload matches the details entered in your online application, or your candidature could be cancelled at any stage.

With 107 vacancies spread across eighteen posts, most candidates meeting basic qualifications like 8th, 10th, 12th pass or a relevant degree have a genuine chance.

Working under the National Health Mission also gives you exposure to public health programmes and government processes, which can be valuable if you plan to appear for permanent state health department recruitments later. Since the selection process is based purely on merit and does not involve any interview, candidates who are strong on paper get a fair and transparent chance without needing to prepare separately for a personal interview round.

• If your post requires council registration, ensure it is live and updated before submission.
• Fill your online form carefully, since incomplete or incorrect information can lead to automatic rejection.

• Prepare basic computer knowledge and subject-related topics for the skill/written test relevant to your post.
• Apply well before 31 July 2026 to avoid last-minute website traffic or technical issues.

Since experience marks matter significantly in the final merit calculation for many posts, keep your experience and appointment certificates organised and ready, especially if you have worked in a government or semi-government health facility.
