ESIC Kollam Recruitment 2026: Walk-in for Specialist and Senior Resident Posts
Good news for doctors in Kerala. The Employees’ State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) is holding a walk-in interview at ESIC Hospital, Ezhukone, Kollam for 16 contract posts: 6 Specialist (Full Time / Part Time) and 10 Senior Resident seats. A Full Time Specialist draws about ₹1,45,059 a month, and so does a Senior Resident with a PG degree at Pay Level 11. If you are looking for medical and healthcare government jobs, this is a central government hospital job with no online form.
There is no application window. You walk in on 20 November 2026 with your filled form and original documents, and register between 9:00 AM and 10:00 AM. This is Advt. No. 07/2026 and it is a fresh drive: our earlier post covered the 22 October walk-in at the Asramam hospital. This guide covers department-wise seats, eligibility, pay, conditions and what to carry. We at GovtJobsAlert.in have checked every figure against the official notice.
