The Government of Rajasthan has officially released the recruitment notification for 600 positions of Medical Officers across various districts and urban health centers in the state. The announcement marks a significant step in strengthening public healthcare delivery in Rajasthan, where the shortage of qualified doctors in government facilities has been a persistent concern.
According to the notification issued by the State Health Society Rajasthan, the selection will be made through a written examination followed by document verification. The exam is expected to cover subjects including General Medicine, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pediatrics, Surgery, and Community Medicine — aligning with the standard MBBS curriculum and public health requirements.
Candidates holding a valid MBBS degree registered with the National Medical Commission (NMC) or the Rajasthan Medical Council are eligible to apply. The age limit for general category candidates stands at 40 years, while reserved category applicants as per state government norms will receive appropriate relaxation. The detailed eligibility criteria, including educational qualifications, age relaxations, and reservation policies, have been outlined in the official advertisement published on the Rajasthan Health Department portal.
The application process will be conducted entirely online through the official recruitment website. Interested candidates must register themselves, fill in personal and academic details, upload required documents such as photographs, signatures, and certificates, and pay the prescribed application fee before the deadline. The first date for submission of applications is September 14, 2026, and the last date is yet to be announced but is expected to follow within a few weeks.
This recruitment drive is part of the broader healthcare workforce expansion plan initiated by the Rajasthan government to address critical staffing gaps in district hospitals, community health centers, and sub-center levels throughout the state. Health officials have stated that filling these positions promptly will significantly improve patient care outcomes in rural and semi-urban areas that currently face severe doctor shortages.
Candidates are advised to regularly check the official website for updates regarding admit cards, examination dates, and result declarations once the selection process commences.
