GMCH Multi Post Recruitment 2026 — 242 Vacancies

GMCH Multi Post Recruitment 2026: Overview

Government Medical College and Hospital, Chandigarh (GMCH) is recruiting resident doctors, demonstrators and medical officers across its departments and the Mental Health Institute (MHI). These are tenure appointments, covering both current openings and posts expected to become vacant when existing tenures end. The notice brings these roles into a shared recruitment exercise, with separate conditions for postgraduate and MBBS/BDS applicants.

Posts and Disciplines

• Senior Residents: Departments range from medicine, surgery, anaesthesia and paediatrics to laboratory specialties and super-specialty units. Dentistry, hospital administration, psychiatry, nuclear medicine and radiation oncology are also represented.
• Casualty Medical Officers: These posts belong to Central Casualty Services, with General Medicine and General Surgery streams.
• Resident Anaesthetists and Resident Pathologists: The notice lists these separately from Senior Resident openings in the corresponding disciplines.
• Demonstrators: The departments include Anatomy, Biochemistry, Community Medicine, Forensic Medicine, Microbiology, Pathology, Pharmacology, Physiology and Transfusion Medicine.
• Medical Officer, Lady Medical Officer and Emergency Medical Officer: The notice covers medical-officer appointments at GMCH and MHI and emergency medical-officer posts under Forensic Medicine. Lady Medical Officer is named in the recruitment terms but does not have a separately counted row in the vacancy table.
• Junior Residents: The recruitment includes separate MBBS and BDS streams, with dentistry identified for the BDS posts.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Senior and medical-officer tenure: Senior Residents, Resident Anaesthetists, Resident Pathologists, Casualty Medical Officers, Demonstrators and the medical-officer groups can serve for up to three years, including relevant previous service. Continued appointment depends on satisfactory work and conduct, and the notice rules out further extension.
• Junior Resident tenure: The maximum is one year, including previous experience, with the new tenure beginning on 1 January 2027. Satisfactory work and conduct remain conditions of continued service.
• Changing openings: The vacancy position and reservation distribution are tentative. GMCH may increase, reduce or withdraw posts, and some openings depend on existing residents completing their tenure.
• OBC reservation: Chandigarh’s notified community lists and territorial rules govern the benefit. Migrating to Chandigarh does not automatically transfer an OBC reservation entitlement from another state or Union Territory.
• EWS conversion: If EWS posts remain unfilled, the notice allows them to be filled from the General category because these are patient-care services.
• Department preferences: Postgraduate applicants can choose multiple departments for which they qualify. MBBS applicants in the listed junior and medical-officer groups need not select departments in the online form and can choose an available specialty during the interview.
• Communication: Keep your own email account active throughout recruitment. GMCH posts updates online and will not send separate letters for the test or interview, so you need to watch the website yourself.
• Attendance costs: The written test takes place in Chandigarh. You must meet your own travel and daily expenses for the test and interview.
• Conduct: People whose earlier service at GMCH was ended for misconduct or other stated reasons cannot apply under this notice.
