The Maharashtra branch of the National Health Mission (NHM) has taken a significant step toward its ongoing recruitment drive by releasing the hall tickets for the Community Health Officer examination for the year 2026. The announcement came through the official NHM Maharashtra website, where candidates can now access and download their admit cards using their registered credentials.
The CHO position is a crucial role under the Ayushman Bharat initiative, which aims to strengthen healthcare delivery at the primary and community levels across the state. Candidates selected through this examination will be responsible for providing essential health services in rural and semi-urban areas, serving as a bridge between local communities and the broader public health system.
According to the notification, shortlisted candidates must carefully review their hall tickets before appearing for the examination. The document contains vital information including the candidate's name, exam date, reporting time, venue address, and roll number. Any discrepancies in personal details should be reported to the nodal officers at the earliest through the designated grievance channels.
The selection process for CHO involves a written examination followed by document verification. The exam pattern includes questions from general science, nursing fundamentals, community medicine, and current affairs related to national health programmes. Preparation material and previous years' question trends have been widely discussed on candidate forums, with many aspirants seeking guidance on revision strategies ahead of the exam.
NHM officials have reminded candidates to carry a valid photo identity proof alongside the printed hall ticket to the examination centre. Entries without both documents will not be permitted inside the hall. The examination centres have been set up across multiple districts in Maharashtra, with urban hubs including Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur, Nashik, and Aurangabad hosting a significant number of test centres.
With the hall tickets now live on the portal, thousands of candidates across Maharashtra are preparing intensively for the upcoming assessment that could determine their entry into the state's public health workforce.
