NHM Thiruvananthapuram Medical Officer Vacancy 2026: How Many Posts Are There?
| Post Name | Vacancies |
|---|---|
| Medical Officer (MBBS) | Anticipated |
Please note this point carefully. The notification does not state a number of vacancies. It only says “Anticipated”, which means the posts are expected to fall vacant.

The notification does not give any category-wise split, so we have not shown one.
What is the Eligibility for NHM Thiruvananthapuram Medical Officer 2026?
Educational Qualification
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Degree | Degree in Modern Medicine (MBBS) or Equivalent Qualification |
| Registration | Permanent Registration under TCMC / Kerala Medical Council |
You need both of these. An MBBS degree alone is not enough. The notification asks for permanent registration with the Travancore Cochin Medical Council (TCMC) or the Kerala Medical Council. Keep that certificate ready. If your registration is not yet permanent, you do not meet this requirement. You can find many more openings like this on our medical and healthcare jobs page.
Age Limit
| Category | Maximum Age |
|---|---|
| All candidates | Not to exceed 62 years as on 01/10/2026 |

The age is counted as on 1 October 2026, not on the day you apply. The notification gives no minimum age and does not mention any age relaxation for any category. This high limit is good news for senior and retired doctors who still want to serve.
What is the Salary for NHM Thiruvananthapuram Medical Officer 2026?
The pay is a consolidated ₹50,000 per month. “Consolidated” means one fixed monthly amount.
- Remuneration: ₹50,000 per month (consolidated)
- Pay scale / allowances: Not listed in the notification
- Service rules: NHM rules and regulations in force from time to time
You get a fixed ₹50,000 every month. The notification does not list separate allowances, a pay scale or increments.
Think about what this means for you. For a fresh MBBS graduate, a fixed ₹50,000 a month with hands-on work in district health institutions is solid experience while you prepare for PG entrance exams. For a doctor who has retired from service, the 62-year age limit means you can keep serving patients. Either way, weigh the contract nature of the job before you accept an offer.
