• Medical Officer (General Wing) (Job Trainee): ₹34,000 per month (fixed consolidated amount).

Because this position is advertised as a Job Trainee role with a fixed monthly pay of ₹34,000, regular pay level allowances such as Dearness Allowance (DA), House Rent Allowance (HRA), or standard NPS/PF deductions do not apply during the trainee period. Trainees receive the full fixed emolument subject only to applicable income tax deductions at source. Following the successful completion of the training period and evaluation, trainees are typically considered for absorption into regular state health service pay scales per government policy. To estimate tax implications or model future pay scenarios, use our salary calculator.

Applications submitted to HPPSC can be rejected due to procedural errors. Keep the following points in mind:

• Incomplete Internship: Applying before completing the mandatory 12-month rotating internship results in immediate disqualification.
• Unregistered Medical Qualification: Failing to upload proof of active registration with the Medical Council of India or State Medical Council.
• Incorrect File Formats: Uploading blurry, wrongly scaled, or improper file formats for photo and signature uploads.
• Claiming Relaxation Without Certificates: Selecting category relaxations without supporting category certificates in prescribed formats.
• Unsuccessful Fee Transactions: Failing to verify payment confirmation before the online application portal closes.
• Name Discrepancies: Mismatched spelling in candidate or parental names compared to 10th/Matriculation certificates.

Selected candidates will undergo document verification followed by medical fitness screening as mandated by state service rules. Upon clearance, formal appointment orders as Job Trainees are issued for posting across designated healthcare facilities in Himachal Pradesh.

Trainees manage outpatient clinics, emergency services, and public health drives in primary health centres and district health institutions. Successfully completing the training term establishes eligibility for transition into the regular state medical service cadre under government rules.
