DMHO Ri-Bhoi Staff Nurse Vacancy 2026: Eligibility, Pay and Offline Application Guide
The Office of the District Medical & Health Officer (DMHO), Ri-Bhoi District, Nongpoh has issued a corrigendum-advertisement inviting fresh applications for 20 Staff Nurse posts on contract. The posting is at MCH Hospital, Umsning, and the remuneration is ₹30,000. If you hold a GNM or B.Sc Nursing qualification and are a permanent resident of Ri-Bhoi District, this is a local nursing job in your own district. Keep checking government jobs in Meghalaya for more openings like this.
The window is very short. The hard copy must reach the DMHO office by 5:00 PM on 12 October 2026, and there is no online form. This article explains who can apply, what the notice says about selection, and exactly where to submit your papers. Read every section carefully, because one missing certificate can get your form rejected. GovtJobsAlert.in has put the whole notice into simple language for you.

How Many Vacancies are in DMHO Ri-Bhoi Staff Nurse Recruitment 2026?
| Post | Vacancies | Place of Posting |
|---|---|---|
| Staff Nurse | 20 | MCH Hospital, Umsning |
The notice gives no category-wise split of these 20 posts, so we have not shown one. All 20 seats are at a single hospital, so selected candidates should expect to work at Umsning.
Since only Ri-Bhoi residents can apply, the competition is limited to nurses from this one district. Make sure your papers are complete.
Who Can Apply for DMHO Ri-Bhoi Staff Nurse Recruitment 2026?
Staff Nurse Educational Qualification
| Requirement | Detail |
|---|---|
| Nursing qualification | General Nursing and Midwifery (GNM) Nursing / B.Sc Nursing |
| Institution | Recognised by the Nursing Council of India |
| Registration (mandatory) | Must be registered with the Meghalaya Nursing Council |
Both GNM and B.Sc Nursing holders can apply, so diploma nurses are not left out. But the registration line is marked mandatory. If your nursing registration is with another state council and not yet with the Meghalaya Nursing Council, you do not meet the requirement as written. Sort this out before you submit. Note that the qualification must come from an institution recognised by the Nursing Council of India, so keep your institution’s recognition details handy in case the screening committee asks. For more such openings, see our list of medical and healthcare government jobs.
Ri-Bhoi Residence Condition
| Condition | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Permanent resident of Ri-Bhoi District | Candidates from other districts of Meghalaya do not meet this condition |
| Proof of residence | You must submit proof of residence with your application |
This is the most important condition in the whole notice. Even a fully qualified nurse from Shillong or Jowai does not fit this rule. Attach your residence proof with the form, because the notice asks for it in so many words.
DMHO Ri-Bhoi Staff Nurse Age Limit
The notice does not state any age limit for this post, and it mentions no age relaxation either. We have not guessed one. If you are unsure, check with the DMHO office before submitting.
What is the Salary for DMHO Ri-Bhoi Staff Nurse 2026?
| Component | Amount |
|---|---|
| Remuneration | ₹30,000 |
| Engagement period | 6 (six) months only |
The notice prints the remuneration as ₹30,000/- and does not say whether it is per month, so we have quoted it exactly as written. It also does not mention any allowances or other benefits.
Remember that this is a contract job for six months only. The notice does not promise any extension or regular appointment. Before you apply, think about whether a six-month contract suits you, especially if you already have a job.
