| Post | Vacancies |

Who Can Apply for SMC Dentist & Physiotherapist Recruitment 2026?
Educational Qualification
| Post | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Dentist | B.D.S. / M.D.S. |
| Physiotherapist | B.Physio / M.Physio (BPT / MPT) |
| Both posts | Registration with the prescribed council, valid on the date of application |
The registration point is the one that trips people up. SMC says registration is mandatory for these cadres, and it must be valid on the day you apply. If your council registration has lapsed, renew it before you submit, and keep the certificate ready because you must produce it whenever SMC asks. This is a good fit for medical and healthcare job seekers who already hold a current registration.
If you hold a qualification you believe is equivalent to the one listed, you must attach the orders or authority details that establish the equivalence with your application. A claim for provisional acceptance of a qualification will not be entertained. If your marksheet shows a grade instead of marks, submit your university’s conversion to percentage.
Age Limit and Experience
| Item | What the notification says |
|---|---|
| Age limit | Not stated in the notification |
| Experience | Not stated as a requirement (the form has an Experience Details section to fill if you have any) |
The advertisement does not mention an upper age limit or any minimum experience. Enter your name and date of birth exactly as on your school leaving certificate, as the form instructs.
What is the Salary for SMC Dentist & Physiotherapist 2026?
| Post | Monthly Fixed Pay |
|---|---|
| Dentist | ₹30,000 |
| Physiotherapist | ₹19,000 |
This is a fixed monthly amount, not a pay scale. The notification clearly says that no other allowance or monetary benefit of any kind will be paid on top of it. So treat ₹30,000 or ₹19,000 as your full monthly pay while you plan.
For a fresh BDS graduate, ₹30,000 a month in a hospital setting is a fair start. For a physiotherapist, ₹19,000 is modest, so think about your own needs before you apply. If you are already working in Surat, compare it honestly with what you earn now.
