NHM Assam has published subsequent notices for the MO (MBBS) one-year compulsory rural posting process. The official website contains separate notice pages and downloadable documents. Use the links below to access the relevant notice and PDF files:
Important: The pages above host downloadable official documents. Read the notice and PDF carefully because the applicable schedule, reporting requirements, document verification and authorization instructions are determined by NHM Assam. Do not rely on an old provisional list if a later final list or revised notice applies to you.
According to NHM Assam's notice dated 4 September 2026, the 2026 application was intended for doctors who passed MBBS from Medical Colleges of Assam and would complete their compulsory rotating internship by September 2026. The stated qualification requirements were:
Doctors who had already completed the one-year compulsory rural posting under NHM Assam, or were already engaged as MO (MBBS) under this posting programme, were instructed not to apply.
The notice does not set out a separate age limit, application fee, fixed vacancy count or written examination details. Applicants should not assume figures or conditions that are not stated in the official notification.
The notice specifies remuneration of ₹38,500 per month for the one-year compulsory rural posting. The 2026 notice does not provide a district-wise vacancy table in the advertisement. NHM Assam later published a provisional list of places of posting for counselling. Candidates should consult that official list and the latest counselling instructions for location-related information.

| Last date to apply | 14 September 2026, up to 2:00 PM |

The original notice stated that the merit-list publication and online counselling dates would be notified subsequently on the NHM Assam website. NHM Assam has since published merit-list and counselling-related documents for this process. Candidates should follow the latest notice rather than assume a date or selection stage from an older update.
Being listed in a merit document should not be treated as a final posting order unless the applicable NHM Assam notice or authorization document confirms the next step.
The original application notice instructed applicants to upload the necessary testimonials with the online form. For any counselling, verification or reporting stage, candidates should follow the exact checklist in the latest official counselling notice. Keep relevant original documents and copies available, such as:
This is a general preparation list, not a substitute for the official document checklist. Submit or carry only the documents required by the applicable NHM instructions.
The online application period for this cycle was 6 September to 14 September 2026, up to 2:00 PM. The application portal is no longer being presented as an active opportunity. Candidates who submitted an application should check the merit-list and counselling notices above. The original notice also cautioned applicants to enter details carefully because incorrect information might not be eligible for correction.
The Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Assam states on its official information page that after completion of the MBBS course, candidates have to complete one year of compulsory rural service or five years of state health service. This is the general information published by DME; candidates should confirm how the requirement applies to their own circumstances with the competent authority.
