Medical Education recruitment at a glance
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Official examination label | Assistant Professor (Medical Education) 2024 |
| Advertisement issued | 11 December 2024 |
| Initial advertised vacancies | 329 across 33 specialties |
| Original registration period | 31 December 2024–29 January 2025; closed |
| Current stage examples | Subject-specific merit lists, marks and interview notices in September 2026 |
Qualification and age rules
The 1 January 2025 corrigendum sets specialty-specific medical qualifications. Examples include MD/DNB in General Medicine, MS/DNB in General Surgery and DM/DNB in Cardiology. Broad-specialty posts have the stated senior-residency experience requirement, and equivalence/transition provisions must be read in full. A generic master’s degree plus NET is not the rule for these medical posts.
The base notice uses an upper age below 37 years on 1 January 2026, with 42 for posts whose minimum qualification is DM/MCh, subject to the specific relaxations and amended provisions. It is not a universal “37 to 42 years” eligibility band.
Application, pay and selection record
The original application window is closed. The base advertisement specifies Pay Matrix Level L-16 with grade pay ₹6,600 and a probation-period fixed-pay condition. This is not an in-hand salary quotation. Selection and scrutiny must follow the advertisement, specialty rules and later notices; do not copy an unverified 150-question scheme from another recruitment.
Do not mix Medical and College Education
This page covers the medical recruitment. Medical Education and College Education are separate recruitments with different qualification rules. For College Education status use the separate College Education guide.
Recent official subject updates
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation; Paediatrics | Main merit lists indexed 24 September 2026 |
| Orthopedics, Broad Specialty | 25 September press note schedules interviews for 12–14 October 2026 |
The interview dates are for the named specialty only. Match the advertisement, specialty and phase in your own letter. A result for one specialty does not mean every specialty has completed selection.
Official documents and candidate action
Read the original advertisement with the 1 January corrigendum and any specialty-specific later amendment. The 10 February 2025 corrigendum on the same record page concerns advertisement 18/2024-25, so it must not automatically be applied to advertisement 23/2024-25.
Check RPSC’s result and interview-letter sections for your exact record.
Planning for the 2026–27 session
For this ongoing process, follow the latest post/subject-specific notice and personal communication. A later recruitment must have its own advertisement; this guide does not invent a new application window or copy previous eligibility cut-offs into a future cycle. Keep preparation resources separate from stage-specific candidature instructions.
