NEIGRIHMS Senior Resident Doctor Recruitment 2026: 58 Vacancies in 25 Departments, Apply by Email
If you hold an MD, MS or DNB and want a medical and healthcare government job in the North East, this notice deserves your full attention. The North Eastern Indira Gandhi Regional Institute of Health and Medical Sciences (NEIGRIHMS), Shillong has issued an updated vacancy list of 58 Senior Resident Doctor posts across 25 departments, under its rolling advertisement dated 19 May 2026. The notice is dated 8 November 2026.
The notice names 20 November 2026 (Friday) as the cut-off date, and applications go by email, not through an online portal. The last date for submitting your application is 20 November 2026, up to 5:30 pm. This guide gives the department-wise vacancies, eligibility, age limits, pay and every condition that can cost you an interview call. Read the department table first, because the seats are not spread evenly: General Medicine alone has 7 posts, while many departments have just one. Doctors in the final months of a DNB or MD should note that the qualification is counted on the last date, so a result that comes later does not help. You can also keep an eye on other Meghalaya government jobs on our site.
