IGIMS Patna Senior Resident Recruitment 2026: PMR and ENT Walk-in Posts Explained
Doctors with an MD, DNB or MS degree have a fresh chance in Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences (IGIMS), Patna. The institute has issued two separate notices for Senior Resident posts on an ad-hoc basis for 89 days: 2 posts in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PMR) and 3 posts in ENT. That makes 5 vacancies in all, filled through a walk-in interview.
Both interviews are on 23 November 2026, but the timings, rooms and age cut-off dates are different, so read the notice for your own department. This guide keeps PMR and ENT apart so you do not mix them up. Keep reading, and keep GovtJobsAlert.in open for more Bihar government jobs.
What Are the Key Highlights of IGIMS Patna Senior Resident Recruitment 2026?
IGIMS is an autonomous institute of the Government of Bihar and a statutory university created by an Act of the Bihar State Legislature. Both posts are in its 89-day Senior Residency programme, which runs until the full-time three-year recruitment of Senior Residents is completed.

How Many Vacancies Are There in IGIMS Senior Resident Recruitment 2026?
The reservation is given post by post, so check the row for your department. Reservation benefit is for Bihar domicile candidates only.
| Department | Vacancies | Reservation |
|---|---|---|
| PMR | 2 | UR 1, EBC 1 |
| ENT | 3 | EBC 1 (Backlog), EWS 1, SC 1 (Backlog) |

What Is the Eligibility for IGIMS Senior Resident Recruitment 2026?
Educational Qualification
Every candidate needs a medical qualification included in Schedules I and II of the NMC Act, and registration with the Central or State Medical Council.
| Department | Postgraduate Requirement |

| PMR (if the primary degree is not available) | MS or DNB (Orthopaedics); MD or DNB (General Medicine / Paediatrics) |
| ENT | NMC recognised PG qualification of MS (ENT) |
For PMR, the allied-specialty degrees count only when the primary qualification is not available. The notices also say the listed qualification is the minimum and does not automatically make you eligible for the interview.
Age Limit
The upper age limit is 45 years in both notices, but the date on which your age is counted is different. Do not use one date for both.
| Department | Age Counted As On |
|---|---|
| PMR | 23 November 2026 |
| ENT | 31 October 2026 |
| Category | Relaxation |
|---|---|
| SC / ST | 5 years |
| EBC / BC | 3 years |
| All female candidates | 3 years |
Persons working in a government institution get relaxation as per rule, and physically handicapped candidates get reservation and relaxation as per Government of Bihar rules.

What Is the Salary for IGIMS Senior Resident 2026?
The PMR notice states the pay as Rs 67,700 plus NPA and the usual allowances admissible for a Senior Resident in the institute. The ENT notice says pay plus NPA and other allowances as per rule, and it does not print an amount.
The posts are non-practising. Private practice of any kind, direct or indirect, including a laboratory, is strictly prohibited, and an appointment can be terminated if you are found doing it. Stay in campus is compulsory if accommodation is provided; if not, HRA is admissible as per rule. No TA/DA is given for the interview or for joining.
What Is the Selection Process for IGIMS Senior Resident 2026?
The Selection Committee selects candidates based on bio-data and the interview. Marks follow a 100-mark scheme, which is the same in both notices except that PMR names MS/DNB and ENT names MS.
| Component | Marks |
|---|---|
| MBBS | 10 (minus 2 for each failure) |
| MS / DNB | 10 (minus 5 for each failure) |
| Additional qualification | 10 |
| Publication | 10 (6 for PubMed, 4 for others; 2 each) |

| Subject knowledge | 20 |
| Full marks | 100 |
The minimum qualifying percentile is 50 for UR, 45 for BC / EBC / EWS and 40 for SC / ST. Being selected does not give a right of appointment; the institute keeps that right.
