Who Should Apply for PGIMER Senior Resident 2026
This suits doctors with an MD or MS in the relevant specialty and registration with the Medical Council, and dentists with an MDS for dental posts; applicants without these qualifications, or non-Indian nationals, should not assume they are eligible.
The exact qualification, age and other conditions are under Eligibility Criteria.
Watch Out Before You Apply
- Make sure your MCI or DCI registration certificate is valid, because it is required and must be uploaded with your form.
- Apply to one department only; applying to more than one can get your request to sit the test refused.
- If you are in a government or semi-government job, get a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from your employer and upload it.
- OBC candidates need a fresh NCL-OBC certificate issued on or after 01.04.2026 and a signed declaration that they are not in the creamy layer.
- EWS claims need an income and asset certificate issued between 01.04.2026 and 13.11.2026 in the prescribed format; without it the claim will not be accepted.
- Pay the fee by debit card, credit card or net banking; the notice says UPI should be avoided.
