Terms and Conditions

• Merely having the requisite qualification and experience does not render an applicant eligible for shortlisting; the undersigned reserves the right to reject any or all applications without assigning any reason.
• Candidates without the specified qualification need not apply.
• The number of vacancies may vary at the time of recruitment.
• No separate individual call letter will be sent; all applicants must check the website regularly for updates.
• No TA/DA will be paid for attending the interview/selection test.
• The earlier advertisement (No. NHM-31013(11)/3/2021-HRD-NHM dated 03.12.2025) for this post has been cancelled, and this is a fresh notification.

Why This Is a Fresh Notification, Not a Continuation

Since the notice explicitly states that the earlier advertisement for the MO(MBBS) post, dated 03.12.2025, has been cancelled, candidates who applied under that previous notification should be aware that this is an entirely new recruitment cycle, and they will need to submit a fresh online application under this current notice to be considered, rather than assuming their earlier application carries forward.

Understanding the Difference From the Rural Posting Scheme

This contractual Medical Officer (MBBS) recruitment, open to doctors up to 50 years of age with at least 1 year of experience, at Rs. 55,000 per month, is separate from NHM Assam’s mandatory One Year Compulsory Rural Posting scheme for fresh interns (which pays Rs. 38,500/month and targets doctors just completing internship), and candidates should apply under the notification matching their actual career stage and eligibility.

Why the Large Vacancy Count Reflects Assam’s Healthcare Staffing Needs

With 78 vacancies for Medical Officer (MBBS) posts under NHM, Assam, this recruitment represents a substantial effort to strengthen the state’s public healthcare workforce across its mission-mode facilities, and experienced MBBS doctors seeking contractual government healthcare positions across Assam have a considerably wider set of location and posting possibilities compared to smaller, single-post recruitment notices.

About National Health Mission, Assam

National Health Mission (NHM), Assam, operates under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, implementing healthcare delivery and public health programmes across the state through its network of facilities, health centers, and mission-mode healthcare initiatives. This large Medical Officer recruitment supports NHM Assam’s continued healthcare service delivery across the state.

Why Experienced Doctors May Find This a Stronger Fit Than Fresh Graduates

Since this post requires a minimum of 1 year of experience and permits candidates up to 50 years of age, unlike the rural posting scheme reserved for fresh interns, this recruitment is squarely aimed at doctors who already have some post-MBBS clinical experience, whether from prior government service, private practice, or completed rural postings, making it a natural next step for doctors who have already fulfilled their mandatory rural service obligation.

Preparing for the Selection Process

Since the schedule of interview or selection test, along with the list of provisionally shortlisted candidates, will only be published on the NHM Assam website in due course, candidates should bookmark the recruitment section of nhm.assam.gov.in and check it periodically after applying, rather than waiting for a direct notification, given that no individual call letters will be issued.

Final Word

Eligible MBBS doctors with MCI/AMC registration and at least 1 year of experience, aged up to 50 years, should apply online at nhm.assam.gov.in for the Medical Officer (MBBS) post by 22 September 2026.
