The 45-year limit is relaxable as per instructions or orders issued by the Government. The notice does not list category-wise relaxation years, and it does not print an age cut-off date. If you are close to the limit and expect a relaxation, carry proof of it and confirm at the venue.
What is the Salary for DHS Goa Recruitment 2026?
All posts carry a consolidated monthly remuneration. This is a fixed amount for a contract job, not a pay-level scale.
| Post | Monthly Remuneration |
|---|---|
| Surgeon, Orthopedic Surgeon, Anesthetist, Radiologist, Physician, Psychiatrist, Echo Cardiologist | ₹1,20,000 |
| Intensivist / Consultant (ICU) | ₹2,00,000 |
| Intensivist (MBBS with MCI-recognised certificate course in critical medicine / intensive care) | ₹1,60,000 |

| Technical Staff (Engineer) | ₹35,000 |
| Occupational Therapist | ₹28,900 |
| Speech Therapist | ₹28,900 |

The highest figure, ₹2,00,000 a month, goes to an Intensivist with an MD-level qualification. An MBBS Intensivist with the certificate course gets ₹1,60,000.
The notice does not mention the length of the contract or any extra allowances. So treat the amount above as your full monthly pay. For a fresh MBBS doctor who has finished internship, ₹95,000 a month as a Medical Officer is a solid start.
What is the Selection Process for DHS Goa Recruitment 2026?
The notice prescribes only two steps, both on the same day at the venue.
| Stage | Detail |
|---|---|
| Document Verification | Report with your application, original certificates and photocopies at the fixed time |
| Walk-in Interview | Held on the date and time fixed for your post |
The notice names only these two stages. Your documents and the interview carry the weight, so prepare for both. Revise your clinical basics and be ready to explain your experience in simple words. Therapists should be ready to talk about cases they have handled, and the engineer candidates about the equipment they have maintained. Dress neatly, keep your file in the order of the document list, and answer calmly. A well-arranged file saves time at verification and makes a good first impression.
