What is the Department-wise Vacancy for Lok Nayak Hospital Senior Resident 2026?
| Department | Vacancies |
|---|---|
| Radiology | 1 |
| Medicine | 8 |

Neurosurgery has the biggest share, followed by Burns & Plastic and Pediatrics. The notice gives no category-wise split, so do not assume a reserved seat in your department.
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. Check that a seat still exists in your specialty before you go. Second, the notice says the Neurosurgery SR walk-in may be allowed for MCh Neurosurgery / DNB / MS (General Surgery) candidates — if that is you, confirm with the E-I Branch.
What is the Eligibility for Lok Nayak Hospital Senior Resident 2026?
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 the PG qualification 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 |

The notice does not mention any category-wise age relaxation, so treat 45 years as the ceiling.
Relaxation When Fresh Candidates Are Not Available
| Rule | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| Order of offers | The fresh list is exhausted first; the second list is used only after that |
| Term from second list | Maximum one year, not renewable |
What is the Salary for Lok Nayak Hospital Senior Resident 2026?
| Component | Detail |
|---|---|
| Pay Commission | 7th CPC |
| Pay Matrix | Level 11 |
| Pay Range | ₹67,700 – ₹2,08,700 |
| Allowances | Other admissible allowances per month |
The notice quotes only the pay level and range, not an in-hand figure, so your actual take-home depends on the allowances admissible to you under the rules.
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 (ad hoc or regular) in any NMC-recognised institution, or until a regular Senior Resident joins, whichever is earlier. This follows the Government of India Residency Scheme of 5 June 1992 and the Delhi Government circular of 10 June 2011.
What is the Selection Process for Lok Nayak Hospital Senior Resident 2026?
| Stage | Detail |
|---|---|
| Interview | The only mode of selection |
| Rank list | Prepared from the interview; valid until the next interview notice |
| Waiting list | Not prepared |
If many candidates turn up, the interview may continue on the next working day, and the Board announces this at closing time. Candidates not interviewed that day shall not leave the venue without the Board Members’ knowledge. The Competent Authority also reserves the right to amend or cancel the interview and to decide any dispute about selection.
Because only a rank list is made and it lapses when the next interview notice comes out, keep checking the hospital website after your interview. Once a new notice is published, the old rank list is no longer valid, so an offer can only come while your list is still current.
How to Apply for Lok Nayak Hospital Senior Resident Walk-in 2026?
This is an offline walk-in. There is no online form and nothing to post — you submit your application by hand at the hospital on the interview day.
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Check the latest SR vacancy position for your specialty on the LNH website (link in Essential Links) |
| 2 | Prepare the application in the prescribed format — the notice neither prints the form nor says where to get it |
| 3 | Bring the originals and self-attested photocopies of your documents for the E-I Branch |
| 4 | Reach LNH on the 2nd or Last Tuesday of the month before 10:30 AM |
| 5 | Submit the application by hand at the E-I Branch as per the interview schedule |
| 6 | Appear for the interview in the Conference Hall, Medical Director, LNH |
| Document | Note |
|---|---|
| MBBS Degree | Original and self-attested copy |
| PG Degree | Original and self-attested copy |
| DMC registration certificate | Or DMC acknowledgement for the PG degree |
| Caste certificate | If applicable |
| Awards / publications | If applicable |
| Identity proof | Aadhaar, Voter ID, Driving Licence, Passport etc. |
| Photographs | 2 |
| NOC | From your present employer |
The two items that can stop you at the door are the DMC certificate or acknowledgement and the NOC from your present employer — arrange both before the Tuesday you pick. Reach well before 10:30 AM, because your application has to go to the E-I Branch first, and a crowded Tuesday can mean a long queue.
