The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Jodhpur, Rajasthan, a premier autonomous institution of national importance under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, has released Advertisement No. Admn/Faculty/04/2026-AIIMS.JDH dated 14 August 2026 for direct recruitment of 190 Group ‘A’ Faculty posts across 40 departments – Professor (34), Additional Professor (17), Associate Professor (26) and Assistant Professor (113). These are permanent Central Government positions with Level 12 to Level 14A pay (Basic Pay Rs. 1,01,500 to Rs. 1,68,900). Applications are accepted online at aiimsjodhpur.edu.in from 14 August 2026 to 12 September 2026 at 5:00 PM. Both Indian Nationals and OCI Cardholders under Section 7(A) of the Citizenship Act, 1955 are eligible. Application fee is Rs. 3,000 for General, OBC and EWS and Rs. 200 (refundable on appearing for interview) for SC, ST, Women and PwBD candidates. Selection is through bio-data-based shortlisting followed by Personal Interview with no written examination. Private practice of any kind is strictly prohibited after joining.
Important Note: Three things every medical or non-medical faculty candidate must be clear on before applying. First, non-medical candidates can apply only for Anatomy, Biochemistry and Physiology departments (Professor, Additional Professor and Associate Professor grades only) – and must hold both a relevant Master’s degree and a Doctorate from a recognised university. All other 37 departments and all Assistant Professor posts require medical qualifications (MD, MS, DM, MCh, DNB or DrNB as applicable). Second, DNB and DrNB holders must provide specific additional documentation proving equivalence with MD or MS or DM or MCh – they must produce the MCI/NMC notification dated 31.10.2018 along with proof that training was done in an institution with an attached hospital (or in a 500-plus bed hospital recognised by NBE), or evidence of one year of senior residency in an NMC-recognised teaching institution after passing DNB or DrNB. Missing this documentation means application rejection. Third, each post requires a separate online application and a separate fee payment – candidates applying for more than one department or grade must fill separate forms and pay separately for each. A single application cannot cover multiple posts.
