AIIMS Madurai Junior Resident Recruitment 2026 - 36 Posts

This recruitment is for fresh MBBS graduates and early-career doctors who have already finished their compulsory internship. The notification asks for completion of internship, so a provisional degree without the internship certificate is a risk. If your internship ends after the last date, check the official notification before you apply, because a rejected form at the verification stage costs you the whole attempt.

Because the upper age limit is not stated in the summary we have, confirm the exact limit and the cut-off date for counting age in the official notification. Then use the age calculator to check your age on that date, and apply the SC/ST, OBC or PwD relaxation only if you hold a valid certificate in the prescribed format.

• Pay Level: Pay Level 10 of the Pay Matrix.
• Pay range: ₹56,100 to ₹1,77,500 per month (basic pay band).
• In-hand pay: See official notification for allowances and any other benefits. We do not publish an estimate that the notification has not confirmed.

For a regular salaried post, the NPS deduction is 10% of basic pay plus DA. This assumes the post is covered by the National Pension System, which Job Details does not confirm, so check the notification for the pension scheme and the exact nature of the appointment. Income tax depends on your total annual income and the regime you choose. You can model your own figures with the salary calculator.

A Junior Resident post is a stepping stone for most MBBS graduates. It gives hospital experience at a central institute, which helps when preparing for postgraduate (MD/MS) entrance, applying for senior resident roles, or moving into clinical practice. The tenure of the post and any promotion pathway are not stated in Job Details, so see the official notification for them.

• Applying without the internship completed: The qualification requires MBBS including completion of internship. A degree alone, without the internship certificate, may not satisfy the condition.
• Wrong photo or signature: Files in the wrong format, too large or unclear can cause the form to be rejected. Match the instructions in the notification exactly.
• Age miscalculation: Count your age on the date the notification specifies, then apply SC/ST (5 years), OBC (3 years) or PwD (5 years) relaxation only if you qualify.
• Category claim without proof: Claiming SC/ST, OBC or PwD relaxation without a valid certificate in the prescribed format can lead to disqualification at verification.
• Incomplete education details: Missing the year of passing, university name or internship dates is a common cause of rejection. Cross-check against your marksheet.
• Missing documents at verification: Bring the originals of everything you uploaded. A mismatch between the form and the certificates is a frequent reason for disqualification.

Shortlisted candidates will be called for the interview, and selected candidates will have their documents verified against the originals. Medical fitness checks, if any, and the joining date will be communicated by the institute. The notification summary does not state the timeline from interview to joining, so see the official notification for it.

Bring your originals: MBBS degree or provisional certificate, internship completion certificate, ID proof, category certificate and age proof. Any mismatch between the form and the certificates can cost you the post, so check them before the interview. The posting location is AIIMS Madurai, Tamil Nadu.

AIIMS Madurai is one of the newer institutes in the AIIMS family, the central network of medical colleges and hospitals set up by the Government of India to provide quality tertiary healthcare, medical education and research. Like the other AIIMS institutes, it is an Institute of National Importance, funded and governed by the Central Government.

The AIIMS network spans many states and trains doctors, nurses and allied health professionals while running large teaching hospitals. For a new doctor, an AIIMS posting offers exposure to a wide range of cases and a recognised name on the resume. Exact details of the Madurai campus, such as bed strength and departments, should be taken from the institute's official website.

A Junior Resident (Non-Academic) is a doctor who works in the hospital's clinical departments under the supervision of senior residents and faculty. The work is mainly clinical: patient assessment, case documentation, ward and emergency duties, assisting in procedures and following departmental protocols. Work is largely field and ward based rather than desk based, and involves constant interaction with patients and their families.

The notification summary does not state the department allocation, duty hours, tenure or reporting structure in detail, so see the official notification for them. Expect shift duties, including nights, as is usual in hospital residency roles.
