The Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) has officially notified the recruitment of 1,156 posts of Medical Professor and Assistant Professor across government medical colleges in the state. The notification, published on the commission's official website uppsc.up.nic.in, opens the application window for eligible medical professionals and academicians who wish to pursue careers in medical education within Uttar Pradesh.
The vacancies are spread across two categories — Medical Professor and Assistant Professor — with each category carrying its own set of eligibility criteria. Prospective applicants must hold an MBBS degree along with an MD or equivalent postgraduate qualification in the relevant specialty. For the Assistant Professor posts, candidates are generally required to have completed their postgraduate specialization and may need to fulfil the mandatory rotatory internship requirements as stipulated by the National Medical Commission.
The commission has stated that the selection process will be based on a combination of written examination and interview, though the detailed merit list and cut-off marks will be determined according to the reservation policy of the state government. Seats are reserved for candidates belonging to Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Other Backward Classes, Economically Weaker Sections, and other categories as per the prevailing Uttar Pradesh government norms.
The online application process is expected to remain open for several weeks, giving candidates ample time to submit their forms. Applicants are advised to complete the registration, upload the requisite documents, and pay the application fee before the deadline closes. Late submissions will not be entertained under any circumstances.
This large-scale recruitment drive is seen as a significant move by the state government to strengthen the faculty base in medical institutions across Uttar Pradesh. With a growing student intake in government medical colleges, there has been a persistent shortage of qualified teaching staff, making these appointments critical for maintaining academic standards and clinical training quality.
Candidates are encouraged to regularly visit the UPPSC official website for updates regarding admit cards, examination schedules, and result announcements.
