NHM Assam Recruitment 2026: 492 Registrar, Demonstrator & Resident Physician Posts – Apply Online

The Medical and Health Recruitment Board (MHRB), Assam has opened online applications for 492 posts of Registrar, Demonstrator, and Resident Physician across 32 departments in Government Medical Colleges and Hospitals under the Medical Education & Research Department. This is one of the largest medical faculty recruitment drives in Assam this year, and it’s aimed squarely at postgraduate doctors — MD, MS, DNB, and MDS holders — looking for government positions in the state’s medical college system.

Applications opened on 16 July 2026 and close on 28 July 2026, so eligible candidates have a narrow window to apply. Here’s everything you need to know: eligibility, department-wise vacancies, pay scale, fees, and the step-by-step application process.

NHM Assam Recruitment 2026: Quick Overview

Assam’s Government Medical Colleges have been steadily expanding, and faculty-level vacancies of this scale don’t come around often. With 492 posts spread across 32 departments — from Anatomy and Biochemistry to Cardiology, Neurosurgery, and Radiotherapy — this notification covers nearly every specialty a postgraduate doctor might hold. It’s also open to in-service doctors already working under DME, DHS, or NHM Assam, without needing a separate No Objection Certificate.

Department-Wise Vacancy Breakdown

The 492 posts are distributed unevenly across departments based on institutional need. The largest chunks are in Anaesthesiology, Anatomy, Physiology, and Community Medicine (SPM), while several super-specialty departments have just one or two openings. Below is a simplified breakdown of the major departments:

Smaller departments such as Neurology, Nephrology, Medical Oncology, and Haematology have 1 vacancy each, while Nuclear Medicine, ENT, Urology, and Neuro Surgery have 1–2 posts. Reservation for OBC/MOBC, SC, ST(Plains), ST(Hills), and Persons with Disabilities (PWD) applies across all departments as per state government norms — PWD reservation alone covers roughly 30 posts overall.

Note: Vacancy numbers may vary due to administrative exigencies, as stated in the official notification.
