Candidates already working within the National Health Mission are treated differently for certain eligibility conditions, so those currently employed under NHM should read the notification carefully before applying for another post within the mission.

Vacancy Details, Qualification and Category-wise Breakup

This recruitment covers three posts: GNM (Female), GNM (Male), and Multi-Purpose Worker (MPW – Male). The table below gives the qualification, age limit, and remuneration for each post.

For GNM (Female), the 28 posts are distributed across categories including NTB, NTC, NTD, SBC, OBC, SEBC, EWS, Open, SC, and ST. For GNM (Male), the 3 posts are divided among VJA, OBC, and SEBC categories. For MPW (Male), the 30 posts are spread across SC, NTB, NTC, SBC, OBC, SEBC, EWS, and Open categories. Candidates should refer to the official notification PDF linked below for the exact number of seats reserved under their specific category, since the category-wise split is detailed separately for each post.

Preference will be given to candidates with prior relevant experience for all three posts, as mentioned in the official notification.

Age Limit: A Point to Note

As per the vacancy table itself, the age limit is 18 to 38 years for both GNM posts, and 18 to 65 years for the MPW post. However, a separate general instruction section in the same notification (framed around National Health Mission, Maharashtra policy) states that the maximum age for entry for “remaining posts” is 38 years for open category and 43 years for reserved category candidates, and that the age limit for end of contractual service for such posts is 60 years.

This creates an inconsistency between the specific vacancy table (which lists 65 years as the upper age limit for MPW) and the general NHM-linked age policy clause elsewhere in the document. NaukriPatra has not resolved this discrepancy on the candidate’s behalf. Candidates, especially those applying for the MPW post and above 43 years of age, are strongly advised to confirm the applicable age limit directly with the Thane Municipal Corporation Public Health Department before applying.

Application Fee

The application fee must be paid through a Demand Draft from a nationalized bank, drawn in favor of “Integrated Health and Family Welfare Society.” The fee is non-refundable.

Selection Process

Selection for these posts is based on a 100-point merit list, calculated using the following formula:

After the merit list is prepared, candidates will be called for document verification in a ratio of 1:3 against the number of vacancies, based on merit rank. If a candidate is absent on the scheduled document verification date, they will be declared ineligible, and the next eligible candidate on the merit list will be given a chance. All decisions related to the selection process rest with the Commissioner, Thane Municipal Corporation.

Documents Required

Candidates need to submit self-attested photocopies of the following documents along with their application, and produce originals at the time of document verification:

• Birth certificate/School Leaving Certificate/SSC certificate as age proof
• All educational, technical, and vocational qualification certificates, including a grade-to-percentage conversion certificate if the final year marksheet uses a grading system
• Nursing Council (MNC) registration certificate, for GNM posts
• Experience certificate(s) from the relevant government/semi-government workplace related to the applied post
• Caste certificate, for candidates applying under a reserved category
• Non-creamy layer certificate, for OBC/VJ/NT/SBC category candidates
• EWS certificate and SEBC certificate, for candidates applying under those categories
