If you have an MD, MS, DM or MCh and you want a faculty post at an AIIMS, the first advert you open can feel like a maze. There are four cadres (Assistant, Associate, Additional Professor and Professor), two kinds of degree course for super-specialities, three ways in (direct recruitment, deputation, contract), "rolling" adverts with several cut-off dates, and pay levels like 13A1+ that you will not find in a university advert. Non-medical candidates with an MSc and PhD face a further question: is there a route for them at all?
This guide answers those questions from official documents only. We read the AIIMS Gorakhpur faculty advertisement No. 271 of 15 October 2026 (56 posts), the AIIMS Deoghar 9th Rolling Advertisement of 29 April 2026 (68 posts), the AIIMS Nagpur faculty advertisement of 30 April 2026 (80 posts), the AIIMS Bhopal contractual Assistant Professor advertisement of 1 October 2026 (45 posts) and its extension notice, the AIIMS Bhopal contractual Assistant Professor (Lecturer in Nursing) advertisement of 25 July 2026, and the NMC Teachers Eligibility Qualifications in Medical Institutions Regulations, 2022 from the NMC's own gazette page. Every rule below names the document and page. Where the AIIMSs differ, we show a table instead of a single "AIIMS rule", because there is no single rule: each AIIMS writes its own advert.
If you are looking at a university or college Assistant Professor post instead (UGC route, NET/SET/PhD), read our Assistant Professor eligibility guide (UGC, NET, SET, PhD). That route works very differently from the AIIMS one.
At a glance: the four AIIMS faculty cadres
| Cadre | Medical qualification | Experience after MD/MS | Experience after DM/MCh (2- or 5-year course / 3- or 6-year course) | Upper age (direct recruitment) | Pay level (7th CPC) | Pay range as printed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Assistant Professor | MBBS + MD/MS (broad speciality) or DM/MCh (super-speciality) in the subject of the post | 3 years | 1 year / none | 50 years | Level 12 | ₹1,01,500 – 1,67,400 |
| Associate Professor | Same | 6 years | 4 years / 3 years | 50 years | Level 13A1+ | ₹1,38,300 – 2,09,200 |
| Additional Professor | Same | 10 years | 8 years / 7 years | 58 years | Level 13A2+ | ₹1,48,200 – 2,11,400 |
| Professor | Same | 14 years | 12 years / 11 years | 58 years | Level 14A | ₹1,68,900 – 2,20,400 |
Source: AIIMS Gorakhpur Advt 271 (pages 3 to 7), AIIMS Deoghar 9th Rolling Advt (pages 5 to 8 and 13), AIIMS Nagpur Advt 2026/01 (pages 2 to 7). All three print the same years, the same age limits and the same pay levels. Pay is "plus usual allowances including NPA (if applicable)"; Deoghar says NPA is "for medically qualified candidates only". The adverts print the pay range, not a take-home figure, so we do not quote one.
Read this first: six things the adverts say that candidates miss
1. AIIMS asks for more experience than the NMC minimum
Under the NMC Teachers Eligibility Qualifications in Medical Institutions Regulations, 2022 (Table 1A, gazette page 30), an Assistant Professor in a medical college needs MD/MS/DNB plus one year as a Senior Resident in a recognised or permitted medical college. The AIIMS adverts we read ask for three years after MD/MS. So a doctor who is eligible for a state medical college Assistant Professor post after one year of senior residency is usually not yet eligible at an AIIMS. Count your years against the AIIMS advert, not against the NMC table.
2. What counts as "experience" is worded differently by each AIIMS
Gorakhpur and Nagpur ask for "teaching experience, obtained after obtaining the qualifying degree", and Gorakhpur adds that it "must be obtained in a department recognized by the NMC for award of the qualifying degree or an experience recognized by the NMC as being equivalent thereto" (Gorakhpur pages 4 to 6). Deoghar and Bhopal accept "teaching and/or research experience in a recognized institution" (Deoghar pages 5 to 8; Bhopal page 2). Deoghar then narrows it: "only experience of MCI recognized medical college would be considered. Experience of Physiotherapy/ Homeopathic/ Ayurvedic/ Nursing College will not be accepted" (page 5). Deoghar also rejects experience certificates signed by a Head of Department; they must come from the Head of the Institute, with "from" and "to" dates (page 12). If most of your years are research years or were spent outside a recognised medical college, read the exact wording before you pay the fee.
3. The experience clock starts after the degree, and stops on a fixed date
Every advert says the experience is counted after obtaining the prescribed qualification. Time spent doing the MD itself does not count. The stop date is the cut-off: Gorakhpur counts age and all qualifications "as on the closing date of application i.e., 14/11/2026" (page 3, note 3). Deoghar counts them up to each cut-off date (page 2, notes 5 and 6). Bhopal's contractual advert is less tidy: note (b) counts age and experience on the closing date, but the age clause on page 3 says "not exceeding 50 years as on the date of Interview". Bhopal's nursing advert counts everything on the date of interview. Note the date your advert uses, and check your date of birth against it.
4. A "rolling" advert means more than one window, but read how many
AIIMS Deoghar's 9th Rolling Advertisement lists four cut-off dates: 28 May 2026, 15 August 2026, 15 October 2026 and 15 January 2027 (Table 1, page 1). It says it "will remain alive with four cut-off dates" and will be used to fill unfilled posts "for at least one year and till the notice of closure, without the need to re-publish" (page 11). It also tells candidates who are not eligible today but will be within a year to keep watching the website. AIIMS Gorakhpur's file is named "2nd Rolling Faculty Advertisement", but the PDF itself gives only one window: opening 15/10/2026, closing 14/11/2026. Do not assume a second chance unless the advert prints one.
5. Contractual and regular posts are different jobs with the same title
AIIMS Bhopal's contractual Assistant Professor posts are for one year or until regular appointment, whichever is earlier. The pay is a consolidated ₹1,42,506 a month, the engagement "cannot be regularized at any stage", and there is no Provident Fund, pension, gratuity, seniority or promotion (Bhopal pages 1, 3 and 4). There is also a service bond: you must serve at least six months, or pay ₹1,00,000 as penalty (page 5). A regular Assistant Professor at Gorakhpur, Nagpur or Deoghar is on Level 12 with allowances and NPA where applicable, and serves a two-year probation. Deoghar says the New Pension Scheme applies (page 16).
6. Higher posts can be filled at a lower cadre
Gorakhpur says that if no suitable candidate is found for Additional or Associate Professor, the post "shall be downgraded to the level of Assistant Professor" in the same category, and may be filled on a contractual basis until a regular candidate is found (page 3, note 2). Deoghar goes further and invites candidates eligible for the lower cadre to apply where a higher cadre is advertised, with posts marked (*) as downgradable. If you are selected that way, "the selected candidate will join on the post of lower cadre and not on the advertised post" (page 2). So an Associate Professor vacancy in your subject can be worth applying for even if you have only Assistant Professor experience, but only where the advert allows it.
Medical eligibility in detail
The basic qualification
All the adverts ask for an MBBS (or equivalent) recognised under the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956 or by the NMC, and a postgraduate qualification in the subject of the post: MD/MS for broad specialities, DM (medical) or MCh (surgical) for super-specialities. Gorakhpur and Nagpur say the qualifying degree "must be in the subject of the post". Some departments accept named alternatives:
- Pulmonary Medicine (Gorakhpur): DM Pulmonary Medicine, MD Pulmonary Medicine, MD Respiratory Medicine or MD TB & Chest Diseases.
- Transfusion Medicine: MD Transfusion Medicine or MD Blood Bank at Gorakhpur; MD or DNB in Transfusion Medicine or Blood Banking at Deoghar.
- Trauma & Emergency: MS General Surgery or MCh Trauma Surgery at Gorakhpur. Deoghar splits it: MD Emergency Medicine or MD Medicine (with casualty experience preferred), MS Surgery or MCh Trauma Surgery and Critical Care, and MS Orthopaedics.
- Hospital Administration (Deoghar): MBBS with MD Hospital Administration, or a Master's in Hospital Administration from an MCI-recognised institution.
- Medical Oncology (Gorakhpur and Nagpur): candidates with a 2- or 3-year DM must also hold an MD in Medicine or Paediatrics.
Why the DM/MCh course length matters
For super-specialities, the experience needed depends on how long your DM/MCh course was. A 2-year DM after MD, or a 5-year integrated course after MBBS, needs more years after the degree than a 3-year DM after MD (or a 6-year integrated course). At Assistant Professor level, the 2- or 5-year course holder needs one year; the 3- or 6-year course holder needs none. The gap is one year at every cadre above that (4 vs 3 years for Associate, 8 vs 7 for Additional, 12 vs 11 for Professor).
DNB holders
Under NMC's 2022 Regulations (clause 4, gazette page 28), a DNB is equivalent to MD/MS (or DM/MCh) when it was granted in a medical institution with an attached hospital or in a hospital with 500 or more beds. In other cases one additional year of senior residency in a medical college is needed for teaching equivalence. Deoghar's advert applies the older MCI notification of 31.10.2018 and asks DNB holders from the listed categories of hospitals to show one or two years of extra experience, along with a certificate of the bed strength of the hospital where they trained (page 11). Keep that bed-strength certificate ready if you are a DNB.
Which NMC rules the advert points to
Gorakhpur refers candidates to the NMC gazette F. No. NMC/MCI-23(1)/2021-MED dated 14 February 2022 for equivalent qualifications and experience. Nagpur refers to a later NMC gazette, F. No. N-P051(12)/18/2024-PGMEB-NMC dated 30 June 2025, and adds that the total teaching experience stays 14, 10, 6 and 3 years for the four cadres. We could not open the 2025 gazette from the NMC website, so we have not summarised it here. Use the gazette your advert names.
Non-medical faculty (MSc + PhD)
A non-medical route exists only in some departments and only in some adverts. This is where the AIIMSs differ most:
| Source | Departments | Qualification | Experience after the PhD |
|---|---|---|---|
| AIIMS Deoghar 9th Rolling Advt (pages 5 to 8, 11) | Anatomy, Biochemistry, Physiology, Pharmacology, Microbiology | MSc only in the medical subject (Medical Anatomy, Medical Biochemistry, Medical Physiology, Medical Pharmacology, Medical Microbiology) + doctorate from a recognised university | Assistant 3, Associate 6, Additional 10, Professor 14 years of teaching and/or research |
| AIIMS Nagpur Advt 2026/01 (pages 4 to 5) | Biochemistry | Master's in Biochemistry or Medical Biochemistry from an institution recognised by the NMC or UGC + doctorate | Assistant 3, Additional 10 years of teaching and/or research |
| AIIMS Gorakhpur Advt 271 | Biochemistry and Microbiology posts are advertised (Professor) | The eligibility section prints only the MBBS + MD/MS route. The document list asks for a PhD "for Non-Medical posts" (page 6), but no separate non-medical eligibility clause is printed | Not printed |
| AIIMS Bhopal contractual Advt (Oct 2026) | Microbiology and Physiology posts are advertised | Only the medical route (MD/MS) is printed | Not printed |
| NMC TEQ 2022 (clauses 3.3, 3.13, Table 1B) | Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry; Statistics in Community Medicine | MSc (relevant medical subject) + PhD; for Statistics, MSc in Health/Medical/Bio-statistics or Statistics + PhD | NMC minimum for Assistant Professor; a non-medical teacher cannot be Dean, Principal, Medical Superintendent or Head of Department |
Two practical points. First, the Deoghar wording "MSc (only in Medical Anatomy)" means an MSc in Zoology, Life Sciences or general Biochemistry may not qualify there, even with a strong PhD. Nagpur accepts "Biochemistry or Medical Biochemistry" from an NMC- or UGC-recognised institution, which is wider. Second, where an advert lists a pre-clinical post but prints only the medical route, write to the recruitment email before paying the fee and keep the reply.
Nursing faculty
AIIMS Bhopal's College of Nursing advert (25 July 2026) for a contractual Assistant Professor (Lecturer in Nursing), Paediatric Nursing, asks for a Master's in Nursing, registration with the Indian Nursing Council or a State Nursing Council, and three years' teaching experience. A PhD in Nursing is desirable. The consolidated pay is ₹1,11,040 a month and the fee is ₹1,000 (SC/ST/PwBD and women exempt).
Age limits and relaxations
| Item | AIIMS Gorakhpur (page 7) | AIIMS Deoghar (pages 13 to 14) | AIIMS Bhopal contractual (page 3) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Professor / Additional Professor | 58 years | 58 years | Not advertised |
| Associate / Assistant Professor | 50 years | 50 years | 50 years (Assistant only) |
| Date age is counted on | Closing date, 14/11/2026 | Cut-off date of the phase | Date of interview |
| SC/ST | +5 years | +5 years | As per GoI rules |
| OBC | +3 years | +3 years | As per GoI rules |
| Persons with disabilities | +5 years (PWD-OPH) | +10 years (15 for SC/ST, 13 for OBC) | As per GoI rules |
| Government servants / ex-servicemen | +5 years | +5 years each | As per GoI rules |
| Deputation | Additional Professor 56, Professor 58 | 58 for Level 14 and above; 56 below | Not applicable |
Gorakhpur adds that SC/ST/OBC candidates applying against unreserved vacancies get no age relaxation. Gorakhpur and Deoghar also allow a one-year relaxation of the teaching or research experience for SC/ST candidates on reserved posts, as per DoPT or central government rules. Retired faculty can apply for contract posts at Gorakhpur up to age 68 (Annexure 2).
Pay, NPA and what changes after selection
The four regular pay levels are in the table at the top. Deoghar's advert (page 13) adds three details you will not find in the others: NPA is "for medically qualified candidates only"; Assistant Professors "will move to level 13 of the Pay Matrix" after three years; and up to 40% of Professor posts get the Higher Administrative Grade (Level 15), subject to the prescribed process. Deoghar also says a teacher with exceptional experience or a higher qualification can be granted increments, and that assessment promotion is possible after fixed years of service in a grade.
Retired faculty taken on contract at Gorakhpur are paid a lump sum: ₹2,20,000 a month as Professor (Consultant) and ₹2,00,000 as Additional Professor (Consultant), with ₹24,000 or ₹22,000 plus licence fee deducted if they take campus housing (Annexure 2). Contractual Assistant Professors at Bhopal get ₹1,42,506 consolidated. Contract staff at Bhopal are not entitled to the allowances and facilities of regular faculty, though hostel accommodation "may be provided" (page 5).
How to apply: the process is different at every AIIMS
| AIIMS | How you apply | Hard copy | Fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gorakhpur (Advt 271) | Google form link printed in the advert; upload the filled application, a Brief of the Candidate (Annexure A), a PowerPoint presentation (Annexure B), and certificates as one PDF in the listed order. Last date 14/11/2026. | Signed application with Annexure A and self-attested copies by Speed/Registered Post to the Recruitment Cell, also by 14/11/2026 | ₹2,000 General/OBC/EWS; ₹500 SC/ST; PwBD and retired faculty (deputation/contract) exempt. Paid online to the bank account printed in the advert. |
| Nagpur (Advt 2026/01) | Google form by 08/06/2026 | By post by 15/06/2026 (one week after the online deadline) | ₹2,000 / ₹500 SC/ST via the website payment link; PwD, deputation and retired-faculty applicants exempt |
| Deoghar (9th Rolling) | One PDF (application, enclosures, fee proof) emailed to the faculty recruitment cell by the cut-off; scan at 200 dpi greyscale; an illegible PDF is rejected | Produced at document verification before the interview | ₹3,000 General/OBC; nil for SC/ST/EWS/women/PwD, but ₹3,000 if they apply against a UR seat |
| Bhopal contractual (Oct 2026) | Prescribed form plus documents by email within 10 days of the advert (extended to 17/10/2026 by notice No. 8347 of 09/10/2026) | Originals, one set of copies and the fee demand draft at document verification, one day before the interview | ₹2,000 General/OBC/EWS by demand draft; SC/ST/PwBD and women exempt |
Two rules apply almost everywhere. You must apply, and pay, separately for each post or department (Gorakhpur and Nagpur say this in plain words). And if you work in a government or autonomous body, you need a No Objection Certificate. Bhopal will not let you sit the interview without it. Deoghar wants it dated after the advert and stating that you "will be relieved or allowed to join if selected", not merely allowed to attend the interview (page 15).
If you have so far applied only for project posts at AIIMS or ICMR, the faculty process is heavier: more annexures, a presentation, and a hard copy in most cases. Our guide on how to apply for AIIMS and ICMR project jobs covers email applications and walk-ins; most of its document advice also applies here.
Shortlisting, screening and the interview
- Scrutiny and shortlisting. At Gorakhpur, the Search-cum-Selection Committee "may short-list candidates for interview" based on bio-data (page 8). Nagpur adds that it uses "institutionally approved criteria" (page 8). Deoghar's Screening Committee shortlists on bio-data (page 14). Every advert says that meeting the minimum qualification does not entitle you to selection.
- Screening test (contract posts). Bhopal may hold a screening test if applicants exceed a 1:10 ratio (page 4).
- Document verification. Bhopal and Deoghar verify originals before the interview. Bhopal holds it one day before the interview, so plan to stay over. Deoghar asks for an affidavit signed by a Judicial Magistrate or Notary at interview (page 14).
- Interview. Held at the institute only (Gorakhpur at Gorakhpur, Nagpur at Nagpur, Bhopal at Kautilya Bhawan). No TA/DA is paid anywhere. Deoghar says selection is based on the interview, along with a review of academic and research credentials: publications, awards, conference presentations (page 14). Deoghar's interviews may run into a second day.
- After selection. Regular appointees serve two years' probation (Gorakhpur page 9, Nagpur page 8, Deoghar page 16) and must be declared medically fit. Gorakhpur will not issue an NOC to apply elsewhere during the first two years.
None of the adverts publishes a marking scheme, so we cannot tell you how many points a paper is worth at an AIIMS interview. What the adverts do ask for is telling: Gorakhpur wants a ready PowerPoint (Annexure B) with the application, and Deoghar lists publications in indexed journals, awards, fellowships, projects and conference presentations among the enclosures. Prepare a short, honest presentation of your clinical, teaching and research work.
Documents checklist
| Document | Why it matters / which advert asks |
|---|---|
| Class 10 certificate or birth certificate | Age proof (all); Deoghar also wants class 10 and 12 marksheets |
| MBBS, MD/MS, DM/MCh (or MSc and PhD) degree certificates and all marksheets | All adverts; Gorakhpur asks for certificates from SSLC to PG, and the PhD for non-medical posts |
| Attempt certificates for each degree | Deoghar (page 12) |
| Medical/dental council registration for UG and PG | Gorakhpur asks for the latest UG and PG registration; Deoghar asks for MCI/DCI/State Council registration |
| Internship completion certificate | Deoghar |
| Experience certificates with exact from-to dates, post and department | All; Deoghar accepts only those signed by the Head of the Institute |
| DNB equivalence document and bed-strength certificate | DNB holders at Deoghar |
| OBC-NCL certificate in the central format, issued on or after 01.04.2026 | Gorakhpur, Nagpur and Deoghar want it issued between 01.04.2026 and 31.03.2027; the caste must be in the central OBC list |
| EWS income and asset certificate | Issued by an officer not below Tahsildar (Gorakhpur); issued on or after 01.04.2026 (Bhopal, Deoghar) |
| Disability certificate (40% or more) | For PwBD reservation and relaxation |
| NOC from your current employer | All, for government and autonomous employees |
| Fee proof (bank transfer receipt or demand draft) | Gorakhpur, Deoghar (transfer proof); Bhopal (DD in favour of "Executive Director, AIIMS, Bhopal") |
| Brief of the Candidate and a PowerPoint presentation | Gorakhpur Annexures A and B |
| Publications, awards, projects, fellowships | Deoghar enclosure (q); useful at every interview |
| Vigilance clearance and last five years' APAR/ACR | Deputation applicants (Gorakhpur Annexure 1; Deoghar page 16) |
The honest picture
- Contract posts are a stopgap, not a back door. Bhopal's advert says in plain words that the contract cannot be regularised at any stage and can be ended on one month's notice by either side. If you leave before six months, you pay ₹1,00,000. Take such a post for the experience and the pay, not in the hope of becoming permanent.
- Private practice is banned. Every advert we read says so. Gorakhpur bans "private practice of any kind, including laboratory and consultant practice".
- Probation ties you down. Two years for regular faculty. At Gorakhpur you cannot get an NOC to apply elsewhere during that time.
- Vacancies move. All adverts say vacancies are provisional and may be increased, reduced or cancelled. EWS posts are not carried forward; non-EWS candidates may be considered against them as UR only if no EWS candidate is found (Gorakhpur page 3; Deoghar page 2).
- Deputation is only for senior posts. At Gorakhpur, only Professor and Additional Professor posts can be filled by deputation, reservation does not apply to them, and the initial term is three years (Annexure 1). Deoghar's deputation term is five years.
- Interviews cost you money. No AIIMS pays travel. Bhopal and Deoghar may need you for two days.
A note on AIIMS New Delhi
When we checked the AIIMS New Delhi recruitment page on 10 November 2026, it listed project and deputation posts but no open faculty advertisement. Its archive page returned an access error, so we have not quoted any AIIMS New Delhi faculty rule in this guide. If AIIMS New Delhi issues a faculty advert, read its eligibility table on its own terms; do not assume it matches the newer AIIMSs above.
Common mistakes
- Counting the MD/MS years as experience. Experience starts only after the qualifying degree.
- Using the NMC one-year Senior Resident rule for an AIIMS post. AIIMS adverts ask for three years at Assistant Professor level.
- Getting the experience certificate from the HOD. Deoghar rejects it; ask the Head of the Institute or the Medical Superintendent's office early.
- Counting experience from a non-recognised college. Deoghar excludes physiotherapy, homeopathy, Ayurveda and nursing college experience for medical faculty.
- Missing the hard copy. Gorakhpur's online and postal deadlines are the same day; Nagpur gives one extra week.
- Paying one fee for two posts. Each post or department needs its own application and fee.
- An old OBC-NCL certificate. It must be issued within the financial year the adverts name (2026-27).
- An MSc in the wrong subject. Deoghar accepts only MSc in the medical subject for non-medical faculty.

Frequently asked questions
Can I apply for AIIMS Assistant Professor straight after my MD?
Not for a broad-speciality post under the adverts we read. You need three years of teaching (or, at some AIIMSs, teaching and/or research) experience after the MD/MS. With a 3-year DM or MCh (or a 6-year integrated course), no experience is needed for Assistant Professor in that super-speciality; with a 2- or 5-year course, one year is needed.
Does Senior Residency count as teaching experience?
The NMC 2022 Regulations treat senior residency as the qualifying experience for Assistant Professor in medical colleges (one year). The AIIMS adverts we read do not use the words "senior residency"; they ask for "teaching experience" in an NMC-recognised department (Gorakhpur, Nagpur) or "teaching and/or research experience in a recognized institution" (Deoghar, Bhopal). Make sure your SR certificate shows the department, the institution's recognition status and exact dates, and ask the AIIMS in writing if you are unsure.
What is the age limit for AIIMS faculty?
50 years for Assistant and Associate Professor and 58 for Additional Professor and Professor on direct recruitment, at Gorakhpur, Nagpur and Deoghar. SC/ST get 5 years and OBC 3 years extra. The relaxation for persons with disabilities differs: 5 years at Gorakhpur, 10 years at Deoghar.
What is the salary of an AIIMS Assistant Professor?
Regular: Pay Level 12 of the 7th CPC (₹1,01,500 to ₹1,67,400 as printed) plus allowances, including NPA for medically qualified candidates. Deoghar says Assistant Professors move to Level 13 after three years. Contractual at AIIMS Bhopal: ₹1,42,506 a month, consolidated.
Can an MSc + PhD candidate become faculty at AIIMS?
In some departments, at some AIIMSs. Deoghar's advert allows non-medical candidates in Anatomy, Biochemistry, Physiology, Pharmacology and Microbiology with an MSc in the medical subject and a PhD. Nagpur allows it in Biochemistry. Gorakhpur's and Bhopal's current adverts print only the medical route. Check each advert.
What does "rolling advertisement" mean?
One advert with several application cut-offs. Deoghar's 9th Rolling Advertisement has four (28 May, 15 August and 15 October 2026, and 15 January 2027) and stays alive for at least a year or until a closure notice. Your age and experience are counted at the cut-off you apply against.
Is the contractual Assistant Professor post at AIIMS converted to regular later?
No, according to AIIMS Bhopal's advert: it "cannot be regularized at any stage". The term is one year or until the post is filled regularly, whichever is earlier.
Is there a bond for AIIMS faculty?
For Bhopal's contractual Assistant Professor posts, yes: a minimum of six months' service, or ₹1,00,000 as penalty, with a notarised service bond at joining. The regular faculty adverts we read do not mention a bond, but they do bar an NOC during probation (Gorakhpur).
Do I need to send a hard copy?
At Gorakhpur and Nagpur, yes, by post (Gorakhpur by 14/11/2026, the same day as the online deadline). At Deoghar and Bhopal, you bring the hard copy and originals to document verification.
