AIIMS Madurai Junior Resident Recruitment 2026 — 36 Non-Academic Posts, Eligibility, Category Vacancies and Application Process

AIIMS Madurai published a rolling recruitment notice dated 13 November 2026, reference AIIMS-MDU/Recruitment-JR/50/2025-26/NOVEMBER-2026, inviting applications for 36 Junior Resident (Non-Academic) seats. The institute operates under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and cites JIPMER Puducherry as its mentor institute. The initial posting is at Government Medical College, Madurai, its temporary campus, with the possibility of movement to the permanent campus as facilities become ready. These posts are time-bound residency appointments, not ordinary permanent non-faculty vacancies.

Deadline: 3 December 2026 at exactly 5:00 PM. The application route is the post-specific Google Form, with the prescribed fee paid separately on SBI Collect where applicable. The notification instructs candidates not to post the hardcopy application at this stage. The printed application and supporting documents must be carried if called for interview/verification.

PwBD: 4% reservation applies horizontally; it is not a new block of extra advertised JR vacancies. EWS seats may be filled under UR conditions when no EWS applicant is available, subject to institutional rules.

MBBS, internship and registration: three different checkpoints

An MBBS degree alone is not enough. The result must have been declared and compulsory internship completed by 3 December. Someone expecting a degree result after the closing date is ineligible under the original advertisement. Foreign medical graduates should also keep an FMGE proof if relevant. The institute makes MCI/State Medical Council registration mandatory before joining; applicants must be able to show medical qualifications, internship and registration in the documents required for verification.

Residency terms and previous service

AIIMS Madurai does not entertain applicants who have already served three Junior Residency terms anywhere. Its notice counts a term even if the doctor joins and leaves before the full period. Consequently a simple “years of experience” figure can be misleading: preserve appointment letters, exit dates and the required self-declaration of Junior Residency terms. The advertised position is temporary, for an initial year, with extension controlled by institute rules; page 5 has unusual wording referring to a one-and-half-year total in three terms, so no guaranteed number of extension months is claimed here.

Age on the closing date, certificate rules and fee

Upper age is 33 years as on 3 December 2026. OBC 3-year and SC/ST 5-year concessions apply for reserved-category vacancies, while the detailed notice also gives PwBD five years and other specified statutory categories. Central Government staff concessions depend on specific three-year continuous related service; they do not universally extend to employees of every autonomous body/PSU.

The fee is non-refundable. For OBC-NCL, a valid Central-list certificate issued in the relevant 2026–27 window is required; EWS applicants must carry the valid 2026–27 Income and Assets Certificate based on FY 2025–26.

Selection, interview venue and clinical duties

Interview assessment is the standard advertised selection method; where the number of applicants is high, a written test may be held. The notice provides no exact interview date, written test timetable, separate syllabus, marking scheme, or cutoff. The document checking / interview venue printed is Project Cell Office, AIIMS Madurai, Government TB Hospital Campus, Austinpatti Post, Madurai. The temporary workplace mentioned is at Government Medical College, Madurai and may shift as the permanent campus progresses. Once appointed, medical officers may rotate among clinical wards, casualty, OPD, emergency and rural or urban institute centres and must not engage in private practice.

Apply accurately: Google Form and SBI Collect are different steps

1. Open AIIMS Madurai's Junior Resident Google Form only for the 36-post Junior Resident notice. Do not use the separate Senior Resident form.
2. Before submission, confirm the MBBS degree-result date, internship completion, age category and previous JR terms. An eligible candidate must furnish truthful information and valid email/mobile details.
3. Where liable, pay the ₹500 non-refundable application fee on SBI Collect under “GOVT / PSU / COURTS” → “ALL INDIA INSTITUTE OF MEDICAL SCIENCES, MADURAI” → “Recruitment Cell - Application Fee”; keep payment transaction ID and receipt. If exempt, mention Fee Exempted in the requested place.
4. Submit the Google Form by 3 December, 5 PM. At this stage, do not mail a hardcopy. If shortlisted, bring the printed filled-in application, two photos, originals and one self-attested copy set, MBBS/semester marksheets, internship proof, council registration, identity, caste/PwBD/EWS claim proof and the JR-terms self-declaration.
5. Follow only the official AIIMS Madurai announcements for any written-test decision, interview venue/time, eligibility list, result or corrigendum.

Original notice: Junior Resident, 8 pages. The institute's advertisement is a rolling notice: any future unfilled-seat walk-in cycle must be verified separately rather than automatically assumed to happen on the initial deadline.
