The Sri Venkateswara Institute of Medical Sciences (SVIMS), located in Tirupati in the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, has announced a fresh round of recruitment for the year 2026. A total of 26 positions are available across two key medical roles — Medical Officer and Staff Nurse — offering a significant opportunity for qualified healthcare professionals seeking employment in a government-funded academic medical institution.
The recruitment drive will be conducted through a walk-in interview process, meaning candidates do not need to appear for a formal written examination. Instead, shortlisted applicants will present themselves directly at the institute on the announced date with their original documents, certificates, and proof of qualifications. This streamlined selection method is designed to expedite the hiring process and reduce bureaucratic delays that often characterize large-scale government recruitments.
The salary package on offer ranges from ₹27,500 per month for the Staff Nurse position to ₹60,000 per month for the Medical Officer role, both figures falling within the standard pay scales prescribed under the 7th Central Pay Commission recommendations for contractual or institutional appointments in medical colleges. Additional allowances such as house rent allowance, medical benefits, and other institute-specific perks may also apply depending on the candidate's qualification and grade.
SVIMS is a well-known private deemed university established under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and recognized by the Medical Council of India. The institute operates a large teaching hospital that serves thousands of patients daily from surrounding rural and semi-urban areas of Andhra Pradesh and neighboring Telangana. Jobs at the institute are particularly valued by medical graduates and nursing professionals who seek stable employment combined with exposure to clinical training and research opportunities.
Eligibility criteria typically require candidates to hold a recognized degree in Medicine, Surgery, or relevant specialty for the Medical Officer post, and a registered nursing qualification such as B.Sc. Nursing or General Nursing and Midwifery (GNM) for the Staff Nurse vacancy. Age relaxation provisions applicable to reserved categories under government norms are expected to be extended to these positions as well.
Candidates interested in applying are advised to visit the official SVIMS website or the recruitment portal mentioned in the official notification. Interested aspirants should ensure they complete the online application before the deadline and carry all necessary documents to the walk-in interview venue on February 23, 2026.
