Recruitment-specific overview from the published record.
Surat Municipal Corporation • PRO/331/2026-27 • 5 November 2026
This appointment supports a very specific hospital requirement: shaving and preparing patients before operative procedures, at SMIMER Medical College & Hospital and Maskati (Muskati) Charitable Hospital, Surat. It is not a permanent municipal personal-grooming post. The municipality's live recruitment listing identifies eight contract positions, a 3 December 2026 walk-in and a 10:00 AM reporting schedule. The contract period will be described at appointment, and a waiting list may be prepared.
| Cadre | Published division | Occupational requirement | Fixed pay |
|---|---|---|---|
| Barber (Male), contractual | 4 | Std. 10 + minimum 3 years barber work | ₹12,000/month |
| Barber (Female), contractual | 4 | Std. 10 + minimum 3 years barber work | ₹12,000/month |
| Combined | 8 | The same trade standard, distinct position labels | Fixed contractual pay |
| Contractual role | Number |
|---|---|
| Male Barber | 4 |
| Female Barber | 4 |
These figures are a reported split of the eight posts, rather than the vertical SC/ST/SEBC/EWS roster. Do not mistake the post title for a certificate or reservation status. The official recruitment listing confirms eight posts in all and the walk-in schedule; before attending, compare the post split and detailed instructions with the latest PRO 331 PDF available through the recruiting authority.
The published detailed eligibility identifies Standard 10 pass, at least three years of practical barber work and an ordinary upper age of 33 years. Evidence should establish real shaving/barber duties; a shop registration or a general self-description is not necessarily enough if the interview desk requests an employer experience certificate. The distinction between two post labels means a candidate should identify the matching recruitment row on the prescribed application form.
Hospital context: the functional purpose is pre-operation shaving of patients, not hair styling, hair coloring or salon management. The hospital determines patient-safety and infection-control requirements. Do not begin independent clinical duties based on a barber-work certificate; follow hospital supervision and its own operative-preparation protocol once appointed.
The published remuneration is ₹12,000 per month, not a Level 8/9 municipal pay scale. Neither pension, permanent employee status, increments nor allowances should be assumed without a written contractual appointment condition. The authority says the engagement period will be specified when appointment is made. A temporary placement or inclusion in a waiting list does not change that period automatically.

| Advertisement PRO 331 | 5 November 2026 |
| Walk-in interview | 3 December 2026 |
| Reporting | 10:00 AM |
| Reported centre | D-Block, SMIMER Medical College & Hospital, Umarwada, Surat |
| Mode | In-person, not online application |
The notice is for a walk-in, not an examination application followed by a hall ticket. Some circulated details describe registration between 10:00 AM and 11:00 AM; verify the exact reception closure and room using the current advertisement before travelling. No written-exam paper, penalty marking, result date or answer-key schedule has been announced.
| Material to bring | What to verify |
|---|---|
| Std. 10 marksheet/pass certificate | Recognised school record, correct name/date of birth |
| Practical barber experience certificate | Employer/institution identification, start and end dates, work type, signed authority |
| Original photo identification | Identity consistent with school record |
| Passport-size photograph and copies | As prescribed in the notice's walk-in proforma |
| Age and category documents, if claiming a concession | Correct certificate and current validity |
Arrange original documents separately from photocopies and sign/attest copies wherever the notice requests it. Do not leave the house with only screenshots of certificates on a mobile phone if original verification is mandatory. If your old experience letter says only 'assistant' or 'helper', ask your employer for a truthful description of actual barbering work rather than changing the duration or designation yourself.
The interview is an attendance-based recruitment event, not an online registration window. Reach the notified hospital venue before the reporting cut-off with a filled application form if prescribed. Keep one set of originals and a separate orderly set of signed photocopies for the receiving desk; keep education, trade experience, age proof and category documents separately labelled. Check that the spelling and date of birth on your identity and SSC records agree. The authority's receipt or attendance record, if issued, should be retained.
A person who attends the venue is not automatically appointed. The assessment, documentary eligibility, roster and waiting-list decisions remain with SMC. The exact tenure and service rules will be in the engagement order; a hospital duty location does not turn a contract into a permanent municipal appointment.
Expect the employer to assess whether your documented trade experience fits the specific pre-operative patient-preparation work. The authority has not notified a graded practical syllabus, so do not present any unofficial hygiene quiz or salon-school paper as the official selection test. Prepare to explain the experience on your certificate accurately and demonstrate willingness to follow hospital staff supervision, confidentiality and patient-safety procedures as directed by the institution.

The educational minimum and trade-history minimum are separate: a Standard 10 pass certificate does not prove three years of barber work. Equally, an experienced worker who cannot show the notified education should not assume experience replaces it. In this recruitment a dated employer certificate is particularly important because the work is occupational and the appointment is contractual.
| Experience document | What to verify before travelling |
|---|---|
| Shop or hospital service certificate | Applicant name, establishment and owner/issuing official, dates and actual barber/shaving responsibilities |
| Several employers | Separate signed certificates covering enough genuine, non-overlapping periods to show three years |
| A letter without dates | The length of service is not established; obtain an accurate employer-certified date range |
| Self-written experience statement | May not satisfy the prescribed competent certificate requirement |
Do not change a date, title or signature to make an old certificate appear eligible. Where a salon calls the job 'assistant', ask for a truthful description of the shaving/barber duties actually performed, not an invented job designation.
The role is connected with patients before operative treatment at SMIMER and Maskati hospitals. The receiving ward, surgical team and hospital rules will control the work area, instructions, patient dignity, skin preparation, materials and disposal; a barber may not independently undertake medical procedures. The hospital's approved practice must take precedence over informal habits acquired in a shop. Applicants can prepare to explain the occupational tasks they have genuinely performed without claiming to hold medical or nursing qualifications.
| Outcome | Meaning |
|---|---|
| A selected candidate receives an appointment order | Work begins subject to the documented term, location, duties and contractual payment rules |
| A candidate's name is placed on the waiting list | Not a guaranteed appointment or a permanent service claim |
| Attendance and interview only | No automatic right to remuneration or appointment |
The advertised amount ₹12,000 per month is a contractual fixed payment, not a promise of a full municipal pay matrix. The eventual order governs the duration, actual reporting hospital, leave and any renewal terms. The fact that hospital patient preparation continues year-round does not establish a permanent job for the selected person.
Bring the prescribed form when required by the latest notice; keep the Std 10 record, age proof, signed trade-service certificates, ID, passport photographs and attested copies in separate sections. Use the published 3 December 2026, 10:00 AM reporting schedule and check the official notice for any earlier registration-closing time or room change before leaving for SMIMER. An original certificate should be available even if a photocopy was previously submitted. There is no announced written paper, answer key or competitive-exam admit card for this walk-in.

The municipality needs staff to perform barber/shaving work connected with preparing surgical patients at its SMIMER and Maskati hospital units. The appointment is contractual, and the specific term will be stated when the employer appoints the selected individual. This occupation is a hospital-support function; it does not qualify a worker to undertake clinical procedures or independently set patient-care protocols.
Use an experience certificate that specifies the identity of the establishment, the employer's signature, actual dates and the barber/shaving nature of the work. If the applicant worked for different employers, carry separate certificates that together establish the minimum duration. A trade course completion certificate or secondary-school pass alone is not proof of three years of occupational experience. Hospital staff will set the standards for handling patients, workplace equipment, infection control and reporting.
