AIIMS Bhubaneswar Faculty Vacancy 2026: Post-wise Details

Do not apply only on the department total. Check the post level you qualify for, because the same department can offer a Professor seat and an Assistant Professor seat with very different experience needs. Some posts come with a condition. Five Burns & Plastic Surgery posts are filled against the Burn Centre. In Medical Oncology / Haematology, two posts are for Haematology and two for Medical Oncology. One Trauma & Emergency Professor post is for General Surgery.
What Is the Eligibility for AIIMS Bhubaneswar Faculty Recruitment 2026?
Educational Qualification
| Route | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Medical candidates | A medical qualification in the I or II Schedule (or Part II of the Third Schedule, with Section 13(3) conditions) of the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956, plus an MD or MS or equivalent in the discipline |
| Super-speciality | DM for medical and M.Ch. for surgical super-specialities (2, 3 or 5 year course) or equivalent |
| Non-medical candidates | A Master’s degree in the discipline or allied subject plus a Doctorate from a recognised university |
Non-medical candidates are accepted only in four subjects: Medical Anatomy, Medical Biochemistry, Medical Physiology and Medical Pharmacology, each as M.Sc. with a PhD in the same subject.
Experience Required
All experience is teaching and/or research in a recognised institution, counted only after you obtained the qualifying degree.
| Post | Experience |
|---|---|
| Professor | 14 years after MD/MS; 12 years after 2 or 5 year DM/M.Ch.; 11 years after 3 year DM/M.Ch.; non-medical 14 years after Doctorate |
| Additional Professor | 10 years after MD/MS; 8 years after 2 or 5 year DM/M.Ch.; 7 years after 3 year DM/M.Ch.; non-medical 10 years after Doctorate |
| Associate Professor | 6 years after MD/MS; 4 years after 2 or 5 year DM/M.Ch.; 3 years after 3 year DM/M.Ch.; non-medical 6 years after Doctorate |
| Assistant Professor | 3 years after MD/MS; 1 year after 2 or 5 year DM/M.Ch., none after 3 year DM/M.Ch.; non-medical 3 years after Doctorate |
Count your years from the day you got the qualifying degree, not from your MBBS or your first job. A candidate with a 3 year DM who is short of the Professor years may still fit the Associate or Assistant level, so check every row before you decide which post to apply for. Only teaching experience recognised by MCI / Government of India counts. SC/ST candidates get a one-year relaxation in teaching/research experience as per DoPT rules. The Standing Selection Committee may also relax qualifications in exceptional cases, with approval of the Competent Authority.
Age Limit
| Post | Maximum Age |
|---|---|
| Professor / Additional Professor | 58 years |
| Associate Professor / Assistant Professor | 50 years |
| Category | Relaxation |
|---|---|
| SC / ST | 5 years |
| OBC | 3 years |
| PwBD | 10 years |
| Government servant (DoPT) | 5 years |
Age, qualification and experience are all reckoned on the last date of the online application. SC, ST, OBC and EWS candidates applying against Unreserved vacancies get no age relaxation.
