MHRB Assam Recruitment 2026: 560 Medical & Health Officer Posts, Apply Online

MHRB Assam Vacancy Details

• Post name: Medical & Health Officer-I (M&HO-I) or its equivalent rank
• Total posts: 560
• Advertisement number: MHRB/73/M&HO-I/2026/5051
• Department: Health & Family Welfare Department, Govt. of Assam

The 560 M&HO-I posts are distributed across categories as follows:

• Unreserved (UR): 316
• OBC/MOBC: 140
• SC: 23
• STP: 58
• STH: 23

This category-wise split matters if you are checking your own reservation status against the notified vacancies, since MHRB fills each category separately rather than by a single combined merit list.

Eligibility Criteria

To apply for the M&HO-I post, you need an MBBS degree from a university recognised by the Medical Council of India (MCI). You must also be registered with the Assam Medical Council at the time of application — candidates registered with a medical council of another state are generally expected to obtain Assam registration before joining, so check the notification for the exact wording on this point.

Age Limit

You should be between 21 and 38 years of age as on 1 January 2026. This age band follows the Government of Assam's standard office memorandum on recruitment age limits. The usual age relaxation applies for SC, ST, OBC/MOBC, PWD and other reserved categories, as per the extant rules — the exact relaxation for each category is listed in the official notification, so reserved-category candidates should confirm their eligible age band before applying.

Pay Scale

Selected Medical & Health Officers will draw pay in the band of Rs. 30,000 to Rs. 1,10,000 with Grade Pay Rs. 12,700, which works out to the revised pay of Rs. 57,700 to Rs. 1,82,400 per month under Academic Level 10, along with other allowances admissible under the rules. This is a regular government pay scale, not a contractual or consolidated one, which is part of why this recruitment has drawn wide interest among MBBS graduates across Assam.

Application Fee

• UR category: Rs. 250
• OBC/MOBC/SC/ST: Rs. 150
• PWD candidates: No fee

The fee is paid online at the time of submitting your application. Keep the payment receipt safe — you may be asked to produce it at the document verification or interview stage.
