Lok Nayak Hospital Senior Resident Recruitment 2026: 45 Ad Hoc Vacancies, Eligibility and Walk-in Schedule
Lok Nayak Hospital (LNH), run by the Government of NCT of Delhi, has issued a fresh notice dated 23 October 2026 for ad hoc Senior Resident (SR) posts. It replaces the vacancy figures of the earlier 28 September advertisement: the total is now 45 vacant posts, down from 64, and the department list has changed. If you have finished your MD, MS, DNB or diploma and want a posting in one of the government hospitals in Delhi, read the new list first.
There is no online form. You walk in with your application and documents. The next walk-in is Tuesday, 27 October 2026, the last Tuesday of October. After that, the last-Tuesday interview is discontinued from November onwards and walk-ins are held only on the 2nd Tuesday of every month. This guide from GovtJobsAlert.in covers what changed, department-wise vacancies, eligibility, pay and the rules that can cost you the job.

The notice states the total as 45 twice. The four Anesthesia A&E (Casualty) posts are marked as against a vacant Neurosurgery post, so the rows add up to 49 if you sum every line. Go by the stated total of 45 and ask the E-I Branch if your department’s count matters to you. The notice gives no category-wise split, so do not assume a reserved seat.
Two points matter before you travel. First, the vacancies are subject to change. The hospital uploads the current SR vacancy position on its official website and on the AMS (A) notice board in the 1st and 3rd week of every month, and says no separate information will be given. Second, the notice says a walk-in for the Neurosurgery SR post may be allowed for MCh Neurosurgery / DNB / MS (General Surgery) candidates.
What is the Eligibility for Lok Nayak Hospital Senior Resident 2026?
The 23 October notice does not restate eligibility, so these rules come from the 28 September advertisement.
Educational Qualification
| Requirement | Detail |
|---|---|
| Essential | MBBS with PG Degree / DNB / Diploma, or Post Doctoral Degree (or equivalent), in the concerned specialty |
| Recognition | From an NMC/MCI recognised university or institute |
| Registration | DMC registration for the specialty is preferred |
| Result | PG tenure completed and result declared before the interview date |
This is a post for medical professionals with a post-graduate qualification. If your PG result is still pending on the interview day, you do not meet the essential qualification. Candidates without it are treated as Non-PG SR and may be appointed only for 44 days or until PG-qualified candidates fill the posts, whichever is earlier.
The DMC rule is stricter than “preferred” suggests. Only candidates who hold DMC registration (with PG degree), or who have applied for it and enclose the DMC acknowledgement, are allowed to appear, and even then provisionally.
Age Limit
| Category | Maximum Age |
|---|---|
| All candidates | 45 years as on 01.07.2026 |

No category-wise age relaxation is mentioned, so treat 45 years as the ceiling.

| Who can appear | In specialties with no fresh candidates, doctors who have completed 3 years of Senior Residency may also appear |
| Merit lists | Separate lists for fresh candidates and for those with 3 years of residency |

The notice quotes only the pay level and range, so your take-home depends on the allowances admissible to you.
Tenure is short and bounded. You are appointed for 44 days at first, up to a maximum of 3 years counting any earlier SR service in an NMC-recognised institution, or until a regular Senior Resident joins, whichever is earlier.
