What is the Eligibility for Hyderabad AYUSH Medical Officer, MPW, Yoga Professional & Other Posts 2026?
Educational Qualification
| Post | Required Qualification |
|---|---|
| AYUSH Doctor with PG Qualification | Post Graduate Degree in Ayurveda, Unani, Homoeopathy or Naturopathy (regular study of not less than 3 years) from a recognised University / UGC-recognised institution; Board of Indian Medicine registration |
| AYUSH Medical Officer | Degree in Ayurveda, Unani, Homoeopathy or Naturopathy (regular institutional study of not less than 4½ years with one year compulsory internship); Board of Indian Medicine registration |
| Pharmacist (0 posts) | D Pharmacy, B Pharmacy or Pharma D, with registration in the Telangana Pharmacy Council |
| Dietician | Degree in B.Sc Nutrition from a recognised University / UGC-recognised institution |
| Psychosocial Counselor | Post Graduate Degree in Master of Social Work (MSW) |
| Yoga Professional | Degree in Naturopathy (4½ years with one year internship) or Diploma in Naturopathy and Yogic Sciences |
| Multi Purpose Worker (MPW) | VII Class pass and must be able to ride a Bicycle / Motorcycle |
For the Yoga Professional post there are two routes. A full Naturopathy degree works, but so does a Diploma in Naturopathy and Yogic Sciences. Do not skip this post just because you do not hold the degree. For the two doctor posts, the medical and healthcare job rule is simple: no Board of Indian Medicine registration certificate, no claim.
The MPW post is open to candidates with very basic schooling, but the riding condition is a real requirement. Be sure you can ride a bicycle or motorcycle before you apply. Among post graduate job seekers, only MSW holders can try the Psychosocial Counselor panel, but remember it pays per session, not a fixed monthly salary.

| Category | Maximum Age |
|---|---|
| General | 44 years |
| SC / ST / BC | 44 years + 5 years relaxation |
| Ex-Servicemen | 44 years + 3 years + length of service in armed forces |
