The Tamil Nadu State Medical Rehabilitation Bureau (MRB) has officially announced recruitment for 2,250 auxiliary nurse positions across various districts in the state. The notification was made public with details regarding the application process, eligibility criteria, and the timeline for submission of online applications.

Auxiliary nurses play a critical role in delivering primary healthcare services in rural and semi-urban areas of Tamil Nadu. They work under the supervision of senior medical officers and are often the first point of contact for patients in government health centres and primary health centres spread across the state.

According to the official notification, candidates who have passed the Secondary Nurse Mid-Wife (SNM) examination conducted by the Tamil Nadu Dr. MGR Medical University or an equivalent qualification from a recognised nursing council are eligible to apply. Candidates must also be domiciles of Tamil Nadu or meet the state-specific reservation criteria as outlined in the recruitment advertisement.

The selection process is expected to be based on merit derived from the qualifying examination marks, followed by document verification. Candidates who secure the minimum cutoff marks will be shortlisted for subsequent stages of recruitment.

The online application portal has been activated on the official MRB Tamil Nadu website. Applicants are advised to fill in all required details accurately and upload the necessary documents before the application window closes. The admit cards for the selection process are likely to be released in due course.

This large-scale recruitment drive is seen as a significant step by the Tamil Nadu government to strengthen the healthcare workforce, particularly in underserved regions where there is a persistent shortage of trained nursing staff. Officials hope the new recruits will help bridge the gap in healthcare delivery across the state.

Candidates are urged to visit the official MRB portal regularly for updates regarding application status, exam schedules, and further instructions.
