Remember this is a contract: there is no claim to regularisation, pension, gratuity, pay scale or allowances, and no transfer or deputation rights.
What is the Selection Process for District AYUSH Office Hassan Recruitment 2026?
| Stage | Detail |
|---|---|
| 1. Scrutiny | Eligible applications are shortlisted |
| 2. Merit list | Category-wise list for each post |
| 3. Personal interview | 1:5 per vacancy for posts with 3 or fewer vacancies, 1:3 for posts with more than 3 |
| 4. Final list | Prepared by roster, merit and eligibility |
The final score is out of 100 and split in the ratio 70:20:10: qualifying degree or exam marks 70, experience in AYUSH hospitals or dispensaries 20, and the interview 10. Experience earns 1 mark per 3 months up to a maximum of 20, and the minimum experience the post requires earns no marks. Dates for the interview and merit list are not given in the notice, so keep checking the official websites after you submit. This weightage rule matters for you: experience in an AYUSH hospital is worth up to 20 marks, so attach every experience certificate you have, with the KPME number clearly visible.
