The National Health Mission, Chandigarh has issued a public notice (Advt No. NHM-UT/13/2026-27) for 5 specialist posts — Gynaecologist, Paediatrician, Epidemiologist (NP-NCD) and Microbiologist for IPHL. If you hold an MD, DNB, DGO or DCH specialist qualification and you are looking for government jobs in Chandigarh, this one is worth a serious look. The pay is a consolidated ₹1,00,000 per month for the two clinical posts and ₹85,000 per month for the other two, and the whole selection is a single walk-in interview.
There is one thing you must get right here, and it is the date. This is a walk-in interview on 13 October 2026, and registration at the venue happens strictly between 9.30 am and 10.30 am — there is no online form to fill and no last date to post anything. Read this full article carefully so you reach the right building with the right papers, because the notice names no later date for producing a missing certificate. Keep GovtJobsAlert.in open for every update on this notice.
Key Highlights of NHM Chandigarh Walk-in Recruitment 2026
NHM Chandigarh runs the health programmes of the Union Territory under the Health & Family Welfare Department, and the Microbiologist post here is funded under PMABHIM (Pradhan Mantri Ayushman Bharat Health Infrastructure Mission). These are contract posts in a running programme, which is why the selection is a single interview rather than a long exam cycle — good news if you are a post graduate looking for a government posting.

How Many Vacancies Are There in NHM Chandigarh Walk-in 2026? Post-wise and Category-wise
The category position is different for every post, so read the row for your own post instead of the total. Two of these four posts carry no General Category seat at all as things stand today.
| Post Name | Category-wise Vacancies | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Gynaecologist under NHM | Gen 0 / SC 0 / OBC 02 (backlog posts) | 02 |
| Paediatrician under NHM | Gen 0 / SC 01 (backlog post) / OBC 0 | 01 |
| Epidemiologist (NP-NCD) under NHM | Gen 01 / SC 0 / OBC 0 | 01 |
| Microbiologist for IPHL under PMABHIM | Gen 01 / SC 0 / OBC 0 | 01 |
The Gynaecologist (OBC) and Paediatrician (SC) posts are backlog posts, and the notice attaches a specific condition to them. In its own words: these backlog posts of SC/OBC Category under NHM have been advertised many a times, however, no candidate from reserved category appeared for interview, hence, this time, if again candidate from the reserved category does not appear for interview, these posts shall be filled from General Category on conditional basis upto 31.03.2027. Read that as it is written — it is a conditional, time-limited fallback that applies only if no reserved-category candidate turns up, and not an announcement that these three seats are open to everybody. If you are an SC or OBC candidate with the qualification, appearing on 13 October is exactly what keeps the post in your category.
What is the Eligibility for NHM Chandigarh Walk-in 2026 Specialist Posts?
Educational Qualification
Every post here is a doctor’s post, so this is strictly for MBBS and medical post-graduate candidates. The essential qualification differs by post.
| Post | Essential Qualification |
|---|---|
| Gynaecologist | MBBS Degree with MD/DNB in Obs. & Gynaecology, or DGO, from a recognized University |
| Paediatrician | MBBS Degree with MD/DNB in Paediatrics, or DCH, from a recognized University |
| Epidemiologist (NP-NCD) | MBBS Degree from a recognized University, with MD/DNB in Preventive & Social Medicine or Community Health Administration |
| Microbiologist for IPHL | MBBS Degree with MD/DNB in Microbiology from a recognized University |
For all four posts you must also be registered with the State Medical Council or with the Medical Council of India, New Delhi. That registration is part of the essential qualification, not a formality — carry the certificate.
The notice also lists preferential qualifications. These are not essential, so do not stay home because you lack them.
| Post | Preferential (Desirable Only) |
|---|---|
| Gynaecologist | Experience in the relevant field |
| Paediatrician | Experience in Newborn Care Unit / SNCU |
| Epidemiologist (NP-NCD) | 2 year’s experience in Health Management, Public Health Programme or Health services after obtaining the Post Graduate Degree |

| All four posts | CCC+ — Course on Computer Concepts Plus for 120 hours |
Age Limit

| All four specialist posts | Up to 62 years |

The notice puts the ceiling at 62 years and says plainly that this higher limit is because these are posts of Specialists. It does not print a minimum age or a separate category-wise relaxation chart, so work with 62 as the number that matters for you.
What is the Salary for NHM Chandigarh Specialist Posts 2026?
The pay here is a consolidated monthly amount, which means one fixed figure in hand rather than a basic pay plus allowances structure.
| Post | Consolidated Amount (per month) |
|---|---|
| Gynaecologist under NHM | ₹1,00,000 |
| Paediatrician under NHM | ₹1,00,000 |
| Epidemiologist (NP-NCD) under NHM | ₹85,000 |
| Microbiologist for IPHL under PMABHIM | ₹85,000 |
These are contract posts, initially upto 31.03.2027, extendable depending upon performance and conduct or the duration of the project — a programme engagement, not a permanent cadre post. Also note that no TA/DA will be paid for the interview, so your travel to Chandigarh is at your own cost.

The notice prescribes a Walk-In-Interview and lists no other stage for these posts. One line in it matters for your planning: the Mission Director, NHM reserves the right to increase or decrease the number of posts and even reject the Walk-In-Interview without assigning any reason.
