Who Can Apply

Before you apply, check that you meet all three eligibility conditions. NLCIL is strict about qualifications for medical posts.

• Degree: MBBS from a recognized university or medical institution
• Certification: Associate Fellow in Industrial Health (AFIH) — this is mandatory, not optional
• Registration: Valid registration with the Medical Council of India (MCI) or any State Medical Council

All three — your MBBS degree, AFIH certificate, and MCI/State Medical Council registration — must be in order before you apply. If any one of these is missing, your application will not be considered.

Age Limit and Age Relaxation

The maximum age limit is 32 years, calculated as on 01 February 2026. If you were born on or after 01 February 1994, you are within the age limit.

Here is the age relaxation applicable for this recruitment:

Category	Relaxation	Max Age After Relaxation
PwBD (Persons with Benchmark Disability)	10 years	42 years

Note: The notification mentions age relaxation specifically for PwBD candidates. For SC, ST, OBC, and Ex-Servicemen relaxation, check the official notification for confirmation since it was not explicitly detailed in the released information.

Total Vacancies

There is 1 vacancy for the post of Deputy Medical Officer under Advertisement No. 05/2025. The posting is specifically at NTPL (NLC Tamil Nadu Power Limited), Tuticorin, Tamil Nadu.

Since there is only one vacancy, competition will be high. Make sure your profile — degree, AFIH certificate, and MCI registration — is completely in order before applying.

Salary Details

This is a fixed term contract post, so the salary is a consolidated monthly pay — not structured under the 7th Pay Commission pay matrix. Here is a clear breakdown of what you will get:

Component	Amount
Consolidated Monthly Pay	Rs. 60,000/month
Provident Fund (PF)	Applicable as per rules
Gratuity	Applicable as per rules
Medical Facilities	Provided
TA/DA (Travel & Daily Allowance)	Applicable for official travel
Accommodation	Unfurnished accommodation or HRA in lieu
Casual Leave	12 days per year

Your take-home salary will be approximately Rs. 52,000 to Rs. 55,000 per month after standard deductions like PF and applicable taxes. The exact in-hand amount depends on your PF contribution and tax slab. Accommodation (or HRA if accommodation is not provided) is an additional benefit that reduces your cost of living significantly at the posting location.

Selection Process

The selection for NLCIL Deputy Medical Officer 2026 is based on an interview followed by document verification and a medical examination. There is no written exam for this post.

1. Screening Test (if required): If the number of applications received is very high, NLCIL may conduct a screening test to shortlist candidates for the interview. This is at the discretion of NLCIL.
2. Interview: The interview carries 20 marks. You need to score a minimum of 10 out of 20 to qualify. Only candidates who clear the minimum cutoff in the interview will be considered for final selection.
3. Document Verification: Your original certificates — MBBS degree, AFIH certificate, MCI/State Medical Council registration, age proof, category certificate (if applicable) — will be verified.
4. Medical Examination: Selected candidates will have to pass a medical fitness test before joining.

Since selection is interview-based, your performance in the 20-mark interview is the most critical factor. Make sure you prepare well on topics related to industrial health, occupational medicine, and general clinical practice.

Last Date to Apply: 10 March 2026. Make sure you submit your application before this date. Late applications will not be accepted.
