Tata Memorial Centre (TMC) Fellowship Recruitment 2026 - 2 Posts

Tata Memorial Centre, Mumbai has released Advt. No. VAR/ACA/25/2026 inviting applications for two specialised fellowship programmes at HBCH/MPMMCC, Varanasi, starting from the August 2026 session. TMC is a Grant-in-Aid Institution under the Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India, and HBCH/MPMMCC Varanasi is one of its cancer treatment and research units. These are tenured, non-permanent positions of one and two years, ideal for doctors who want hands-on training in transfusion medicine and patient blood management for cancer care. Both posts need an NMC-recognized MD/DNB in Immunohematology and Blood Transfusion — if you already have this qualification, this is a solid chance to specialize further at a premier cancer institute while working alongside experienced oncology and transfusion medicine teams.

Make sure every field in your application is filled correctly, since incomplete applications are summarily rejected and TMC reserves the right to reject any application without giving reasons.

Selection Process

TMC will select fellows in the following stages:

1. MCQ Test: Held only if the number of applicants is more than 3 times the number of posts advertised. If fewer candidates apply than there are vacancies, no MCQ test will be held for that post.
2. Interview: Conducted by HBCH/MPMMCC, Varanasi.
3. Document Verification: You must bring original documents including your NOC (if you are currently employed in government service), proof of date of birth, qualification certificates, and category certificates.

No TA/DA (Travel Allowance/Dearness Allowance) is paid for appearing in the MCQ test or interview. TMC can also set minimum qualifying marks or cut-off criteria (discipline-wise or category-wise) for shortlisting candidates, so simply meeting the eligibility criteria does not guarantee an MCQ or interview call. The decision of the Dean (Academics), HBCH/MPMMCC will be final in all such matters.
