GMCH Senior Resident & CMO Eligibility 2026
Educational Qualification
| Post | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Senior Resident | PG Medical Degree (MD, MS, DNB, M.Ch. or DM) or equivalent in the concerned specialty, recognised by MCI and registered with MCI or a State Medical Council |
| CMO (General Medicine) | The same PG degree rule, in General Medicine |
Candidates who have completed three years of Senior Residency are not eligible for the Senior Resident post. Any Senior Residency done in a Central Institution under the Central Residency Scheme is counted, so the total cannot cross three years. These are among the better medical and healthcare government jobs for fresh PG doctors.
Age Limit
| Category | Upper Age Limit / Relaxation |
|---|---|
| All candidates | 45 years as on 05.10.2026 |
| OBC (UT Chandigarh) | 3 years |
| SC | 5 years |
| Govt. servants (through proper channel) | 5 years |
| Widows / deserted women / judicially separated women (not remarried) | 10 years |

Relaxation is given only against posts reserved for that category. SC/OBC candidates applying against unreserved posts are not entitled to any age relaxation. An SC/OBC claim is accepted only with a certificate from the competent authority in the prescribed format.
OBC reservation here follows the Chandigarh Administration letter of 04.09.2024. It is only for candidates who belong to UT Chandigarh and whose community is on the Central OBC list for Chandigarh or the Chandigarh BC list. If you have migrated from another state, you can claim OBC benefits of your home state, not of UT Chandigarh.
What is the Salary for GMCH Senior Resident & CMO 2026?
| Component | Amount |
|---|---|
| Basic Pay | ₹67,700 (minimum pay, 1st Cell of Level-11, Pay Matrix Part A) |
| Non-Practising Allowance | 20% as per Central Government Services (R. Pay) Rules 2016 |
This pay applies to Senior Residents and CMO (General Medicine) holding a PG degree. The job is a tenure post for 6 months. It may be extended as per need, or it lasts till a regular doctor joins. If your work and conduct are not found satisfactory at any stage, your services shall be terminated without assigning any reason.
The pay is the same for every department, so choose the department where your PG degree actually fits. A Senior Residency at a large teaching hospital also adds real value to your CV if you plan to apply for faculty posts later. Keep in mind that the job is short, so plan your notice period with your current employer before you walk in.
