AIIMS Deoghar Faculty Recruitment 2026: 69 Vacancies, Eligibility and Pay Level in Phase 2
All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Deoghar has opened 69 faculty posts — 68 medical faculty and 1 nursing faculty — under Phase 2 of its 9th Rolling Advertisement. If you hold an MD, MS, MDS, DM or M.Ch, or a doctorate in a pre-clinical subject, this is one of the cleanest routes into a central medical and healthcare government job today. Pay runs from Level 12 to Level 14-A of the 7th CPC — a pay matrix starting at ₹78,800 and reaching ₹2,20,400 for a Professor, plus NPA for medically qualified candidates.
Understand one thing before you start: this is a rolling advertisement, not a one-shot notification. It opened on 29 April 2026 and runs in phases. The 15 October 2026 date is only the Phase 2 cut-off — apply instead before Phase 3 (15 December 2026) or Phase 4 (15 February 2027). Applications go by e-mail and hard copy, not through an online form. Read this guide on GovtJobsAlert.in carefully so you send the right annexures the first time.

What are the Vacancy Details for AIIMS Deoghar Faculty Recruitment 2026?
The reservation split changes from post to post, so read your own row, not the total. The notification prints 68 medical faculty seats and 1 nursing faculty seat separately; 69 is the sum of the two.
| Post | Category-wise Vacancies | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Professor | UR 5 / OBC 7 / SC 4 / ST 2 / EWS 3 | 21 |
| Additional Professor | UR 2 / OBC 2 / SC 0 / ST 1 / EWS 0 | 5 |
| Associate Professor | UR 4 / OBC 5 / SC 4 / ST 2 / EWS 2 | 17 |
| Assistant Professor | UR 5 / OBC 8 / SC 7 / ST 3 / EWS 2 | 25 |
| All Medical Faculty Posts | UR 16 / OBC 22 / SC 15 / ST 8 / EWS 7 | 68 |
| Associate Professor (Reader), College of Nursing | UR 1 only | 1 |
Additional Professor carries no SC seat and no EWS seat in this phase, and the single nursing post is Unreserved only, so do not read the grand total and assume your category has a seat everywhere. 4% horizontal reservation for persons with disabilities applies as per Government of India rules. Posts starred in the notification are downgradable — an Additional Professor or Associate Professor seat may be filled at the next lower cadre in the same category, and that candidate joins on the lower post.

What is the Eligibility for AIIMS Deoghar Faculty Posts 2026?
Educational Qualification
| Candidate Type | What You Need |
|---|---|
| Medical, broad specialty | A medical qualification listed in Schedule I or II, or Part II of the Third Schedule, to the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956, plus MD or MS or a recognised equivalent postgraduate qualification |
| Medical, super specialty | DM for medical super specialties or M.Ch for surgical super specialties, from a recognised 2, 3 or 5 year course, or a recognised equivalent |
| Dentistry | A qualification under Part I and Part II of the Schedule to the Dentist Act, 1948, plus MDS |
| Non-medical | Master’s degree in the concerned specialty — M.Sc only in Medical Anatomy, Medical Biochemistry, Medical Physiology, Medical Pharmacology or Medical Microbiology — plus a doctorate degree from a recognised university |
| DNB holders | DNB is accepted as equivalent to MD, MS, DM or M.Ch, but you must produce documentary proof of equivalence under the MCI notification dated 31 October 2018, plus a bed-strength certificate for the hospital where you trained; 1 or 2 extra years of experience apply depending on that institution |
| Nursing faculty | Master’s degree in Nursing from a recognised institution, plus Registered Nurse Midwife |
A general M.Sc in the same subject is not the same thing here — the notification names the medical version of each subject and nothing else. Anyone applying for these teaching and faculty posts should also note that only teaching experience from an MCI-recognised medical college counts, and from an INC-recognised college for the nursing post.
Experience Required
| Post | Experience After the Qualifying Degree |
|---|---|
| Professor | 14 years for broad specialty, dentistry and non-medical; 12 years after a 2 or 5 year DM/M.Ch, or 11 years after a 3 year DM/M.Ch |

| Associate Professor | 6 years; 4 years after a 2 or 5 year DM/M.Ch, or 3 years after a 3 year DM/M.Ch |
| Assistant Professor | 3 years; 1 year after a 2 or 5 year DM/M.Ch, and no experience needed with a 3 year DM/M.Ch |
| Associate Professor (Nursing) | 8 years after M.Sc (Nursing), including 5 years of teaching; PhD in Nursing is desirable |
Experience counts only after you obtain the prescribed qualification, and only up to the last date of the phase you apply in. SC and ST candidates get a one-year relaxation here, at the discretion of the Standing Selection Authority.
Age Limit
| Post or Route | Maximum Age |
|---|---|
| Professor and Additional Professor, direct recruitment | 58 years |
