Quick Count by Category

The notice doesn’t print category totals, so we added up the table: 10 UR, 12 SC and 36 OBC, which makes 58.

What the Asterisk (*) Means

For posts marked with an asterisk, the institute will consider General and other category candidates for an adhoc appointment if no reserved category candidates are available. In General Medicine, 3 posts can go this way against OBC posts. In General Surgery, 2 posts can. In Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 1 post can.

Reservation for Persons with Benchmark Disabilities

The institute reserves 3 posts for persons with benchmark disabilities in the non-surgical departments, under Government of India policy. The notice splits the reservation as follows: 1% each for blindness and low vision, for deaf and hard of hearing, and for locomotor disability (including cerebral palsy, leprosy cured, dwarfism, acid attack victims and muscular dystrophy), and 1% for autism, intellectual disability, specific learning disability and mental illness, and for multiple disabilities (including deaf-blindness). A duly constituted Medical Board of a State or Central Government hospital or institution must issue your disability certificate, and the Medical Superintendent, CMO or head of the hospital must countersign it.

EWS Candidates

The institute doesn’t carry forward EWS posts as backlog if they stay unfilled. It lets other category candidates apply provisionally, and it will consider them as UR candidates only if the EWS seat otherwise stays empty. EWS candidates attach a certificate from the competent authority in the Annexure-II format.

NEIGRIHMS Senior Resident Eligibility Criteria

The notice doesn’t say how to name the email subject, or whether to send one PDF or several files. Ask the Recruitment Cell if you’re unsure. If your certificates are photos, our Image to PDF Converter can combine them into a single file. Check the file size first, because many email servers reject large attachments.

Important Instructions

• OBC (NCL) certificate: it must be the latest one, issued in the current financial year, 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027.
• If you’re employed under a State or Central Government, a PSU or an autonomous body, you must produce an NOC from the competent authority. Without it, the institute won’t let you appear for the interview.
• If you left a Government job, you must produce the relieving order. Without it, the institute won’t let you appear for the interview.
• Meghalaya-sponsored doctors: if the Government of Meghalaya sponsored your MBBS, MD or MS and you have bond obligations, the Mandatory Medical Public Services Policy (Notification No. Health.231/2024/6-A, dated 4 March 2025) applies instead of an NOC.
• Doctors sponsored by other states for MBBS must submit a certificate of completion of any compulsory rural posting. The institute lets them appear for the interview provisionally, subject to that requirement.
• Canvassing in any form disqualifies you.
• No travelling allowance is paid for attending the interview.
• The institute can accept or reject any candidature without giving a reason, and its decision on eligibility is final.

How to Prepare for the NEIGRIHMS Interview

The notice doesn’t describe the interview, so these tips are general:

• Revise your own specialty. Go through the topics that come up most in clinical work in your department, and recent guidelines in your field.
• Prepare cases. Choose two or three cases you handled during your MD, MS or DNB, and practise explaining the diagnosis, the treatment and the outcome in a few minutes.
• Know your thesis and publications. Be ready to describe your thesis, your research and anything you published.
• Be ready to talk about teaching and duties. Senior Residents often teach students and cover night and emergency duties, so say how you’d manage this.
• Know the institute. Read about NEIGRIHMS and the department you’re applying to, and be ready to say why you want to work in Shillong.
• Sort your documents early. The institute can bar you from the interview if you lack an NOC or a relieving order, so ask your employer for it now.

Good preparation helps you answer clearly, but the institute decides the result, and nobody can promise you a post.
