HPRCA Radiographer Trainee Recruitment 2026 | 43 Vacancies

This post suits B.Sc. radiography graduates who completed both Matriculation and 10+2 in Himachal Pradesh and are within the age band. Check your age against the closing date of 7 December 2026, not today's date, using the age calculator. Candidates whose age falls within 45 years only after relaxation should confirm their category claim against the official notification before applying.

Candidates who studied outside Himachal Pradesh for Matriculation or 10+2 should read the domicile line carefully, since the notification's rule is based on where those qualifications were obtained. Holding a B.Sc. from another state does not substitute for the HP school-level requirement as stated in the Job Details.

• Radiographer (Job Trainee): ₹18,000 per month as stated in the notification's Job Details.
• Pay Level: See official notification.
• In-hand amount: Trainee pay of this kind is a fixed monthly amount, so the figure you receive depends only on any income tax that applies to your total income.

Because this is a Job Trainee engagement rather than a regular pay-matrix post, NPS, PF, DA and HRA do not apply to the ₹18,000 amount. Income tax applies only if your total taxable income crosses the applicable threshold. Use the salary calculator to compare this trainee pay with the regular pay you expect after completing training. Private hospital and diagnostic centre radiographers are a common alternative, so compare the monthly figure, training duration, and any bond or service conditions in the notification. Progression from a trainee role to a regular post, if any, is not specified in the Job Details, so confirm it in the official notification.

• Using a third-party link without verification: The Apply URL in the Job Details is a third-party page. Confirm the form belongs to HPRCA before submitting personal data or paying.
• Wrong photo or signature format: Files outside the size, dimensions, or format in the notification are the most common cause of rejected uploads. Resize them before uploading.
• Incomplete education details: Enter the exact board, university, year of passing, and percentage as printed on each certificate, especially for the Matriculation and 10+2 HP-institution requirement.
• Age miscalculated against relaxation: Calculate age as of the closing date, and apply relaxation only if your category is correctly recorded.
• Wrong category or relaxation claim: Claiming SC, ST, OBC, or PwD status without a valid certificate in the prescribed format leads to disqualification at verification.
• Missing documents at verification: Keep original certificates, attested copies, and ID proof ready, since any gap at document verification can remove you from the process.

The notification's Job Details do not specify the document verification schedule, medical examination requirements, training duration, or joining formalities. Selected candidates should expect a document verification stage before appointment, and should check the official notification for any medical fitness requirement and the training period.

Posting locations within Himachal Pradesh are not specified in the Job Details. Confirm the place of posting, the realistic timeline from result to joining, and any service or bond conditions in the official notification before accepting an offer.

It handles advertisement, application, examination, and selection for vacancies notified by the state, including posts under the Medical department covered by this notification.

HPRCA's credibility rests on its role as the designated state recruitment body, which means its notifications carry official weight. Candidates should still verify each notice directly from the official HPRCA channels rather than relying only on third-party job pages.
