How Many Vacancies Are There in NEIGRIHMS Junior Resident Doctors Recruitment 2026?
| Category | Vacancies | Note |
|---|---|---|
| UR | 7 | Open to all |
| EWS | 2 | See EWS condition below |
| OBC | 1 | OBC (NCL) certificate needed |
| SC | 3 | Certificate needed |
| ST | 1 | Certificate needed |
| Total | 14 | 1 post reserved for PwBD |
One post is reserved for Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD) in the non-surgical departments, as per Government of India policy. PwBD reservation is 1% each for blindness and low vision, deaf and hard of hearing, and locomotor disability, and 1% for autism, intellectual disability, specific learning disability, mental illness and multiple disabilities.
EWS rule: EWS posts are not carried forward and are not treated as backlog if unfilled. So other category candidates may apply provisionally, but they will be considered as UR candidates only if the EWS seat is otherwise not filled.
In simple words, if you are not from the EWS category you may still send an application against the EWS seats, but your name will come up only if that seat stays empty. Check your own category row before you decide how to apply, and keep the right certificate ready.
