How Many Vacancies Are There in SMC Surat Honorary Consultant Recruitment 2026?
The notification gives a post-wise count and no category-wise (SC, ST, OBC) split. Surgery has the most seats (10 across five posts), and the Surgical Gastroenterologist post has the single biggest count, 3 seats.
| Department | Post | Vacancies |
|---|---|---|

Do not mix up post 1 and post 10. Gastroenterology under Medicine (2 seats) needs a DM/DNB degree, while Gastroenterologist under Surgery (3 seats) needs an M.Ch or a DNB in surgical gastroenterology and liver transplantation. They are two different posts with different degrees.
What Is the Eligibility for SMC Surat Honorary Consultant Posts 2026?
Each post has its own qualification. Check the row for your own speciality.
| Post | Qualification Required |
|---|---|
| Gastroenterology | DM / DNB in Gastroenterology |
| Endocrinology | DM / DNB in Endocrinology |
| Neurology | DM / DNB in Neurology |
| Haematology | DM / DNB in Haematology |

| Interventional Radiologist | (A) Assistant Professor (Interventional Radiologist) post M.D. (Radiologist), or DNB Radiology with at least two years work in Interventional; or (B) M.D. (Radiologist) with two years fellowship in Interventional Radiology |
| Neonatology | DM / DNB in Neonatology |
| Paediatric Cardiologists | DM / DNB fellowship in Paediatric Cardiology |
Two posts have longer routes, so read them slowly. For Retina Surgeon, either the FNB or a two-year retina fellowship works, and both come after an MS in Ophthalmology. For Interventional Radiologist, the DNB and fellowship routes each need two years, so keep the experience certificate ready.
The notification states no age limit and no age relaxation. Do not assume a limit either way, and ask the Recruitment Department if you are unsure. Doctors with an MD or MS in a related field can also see more medical and healthcare government jobs and post graduate government jobs on our site.
