AIIMS Raipur Junior Resident Recruitment 2026 – Walk in for 40 Posts

All India Institute of Medical Sciences Raipur (AIIMS Raipur), one of the premier medical institutions established under the Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana (PMSSY), has announced an immediate recruitment opportunity for qualified MBBS doctors through its Junior Resident (Non-Academic) walk-in interview scheduled for January 19, 2026. This recruitment aims to fill 40 Junior Resident positions across various clinical specialties and departments, offering fresh medical graduates and experienced doctors an excellent opportunity to work in a state-of-the-art medical facility while gaining invaluable clinical experience in a tertiary care teaching hospital environment. AIIMS Raipur stands as a symbol of medical excellence in Central India, providing advanced healthcare services to the population of Chhattisgarh and neighboring states. Established in 2012, this autonomous institution operates under the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, and has rapidly emerged as a leading center for medical education, research, and patient care. The institution's commitment to healthcare delivery, medical education, and cutting-edge research makes it an ideal workplace for medical professionals seeking to enhance their clinical skills while serving society. ## About AIIMS Raipur - Infrastructure and Legacy AIIMS Raipur is equipped with ultra-modern medical infrastructure spanning specialty departments including Cardiology, Neurology, Nephrology, Gastroenterology, Emergency Medicine, Trauma Care, and all major surgical and medical specialties. The 750-bedded hospital handles thousands of outpatient visits and emergency cases daily, providing comprehensive tertiary care services. The institution houses advanced diagnostic facilities including MRI, CT Scan, Digital X-Ray, advanced laboratory services, modular operation theaters, intensive care units (ICU, NICU, PICU), dedicated trauma and emergency facilities, and specialized clinics for chronic disease management. Working at AIIMS Raipur provides junior residents with unparalleled exposure to complex medical cases, advanced treatment protocols, multidisciplinary team approaches, cutting-edge medical technology, and opportunities to participate in academic activities including seminars, case presentations, and CME programs. The learning environment is intellectually stimulating, with senior faculty members who are experts in their respective fields providing mentorship and guidance. ## Junior Resident (Non-Academic) - Role and Responsibilities Junior Residents at AIIMS Raipur function as the frontline medical workforce in various clinical departments. Their responsibilities encompass comprehensive patient care including admission, examination, diagnosis, and treatment planning, assisting in surgical procedures, emergency procedures, and interventions, maintaining detailed patient records and medical documentation, participation in ward rounds, OPD duties, and emergency room rotations, ordering and interpreting diagnostic tests, coordinating with senior residents and consultants for complex cases, patient counseling and family communication, ensuring implementation of treatment protocols and standard operating procedures, and participation in medical emergencies, Code Blue responses, and trauma management. The non-academic designation indicates that these positions are primarily service-oriented rather than part of structured post-graduate training programs like MD/MS residencies. However, the clinical exposure, hands-on experience, and learning opportunities are substantial, making these positions highly valuable for medical professionals in the early stages of their careers. Junior Residents gain exposure to diverse patient populations, rare medical conditions, complex surgical cases, and emergency medicine scenarios that significantly enhance their clinical competence. ## Vacancy Distribution Across Specialties The 40 Junior Resident positions are distributed across various clinical departments based on patient load and service requirements. While the exact department-wise breakup may be specified in the detailed recruitment notice, typical distributions include General Medicine and allied specialties (Cardiology, Neurology, Gastroenterology, Endocrinology), General Surgery and surgical specialties (Orthopedics, Neurosurgery, Cardiothoracic Surgery, Plastic Surgery), Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pediatrics and Neonatology, Emergency Medicine and Trauma Care, Anesthesiology and Critical Care, Radiodiagnosis and Imaging, Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, and other specialized departments as per institutional requirements. Candidates may be assigned to departments based on institutional needs, though preferences may be considered subject to availability. Junior Residents should be prepared for rotational postings across different specialties to gain comprehensive clinical experience. ## Educational Qualification and Registration Requirements The fundamental eligibility criterion is possession of MBBS degree from a Medical College recognized by the Medical Council of India (now National Medical Commission). The degree must be recognized under the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956, or obtained from foreign universities recognized by the Medical Council of India with mandatory screening test clearance.

Candidates who have completed internship or are completing it by a specified date (usually within a month of the walk-in date) may be eligible, but they must produce internship completion certificates before joining. Additionally, candidates must possess valid registration with a State Medical Council (preferably Chhattisgarh Medical Council) or be eligible for registration. Those not registered with Chhattisgarh Medical Council must obtain registration before joining, which typically requires submitting MBBS degree, internship completion certificate, and other documents to the respective State Medical Council. ## Age Limit and Relaxations The maximum age limit for Junior Resident positions is typically 30 years as on the date of walk-in interview (January 19, 2026). This means candidates should generally be born on or after January 19, 1996.

This means eligible candidates must physically appear at the designated venue on the specified date and time with all required original documents and self-attested photocopies for on-the-spot document verification and interview. The walk-in interview is scheduled for January 19, 2026, at AIIMS Raipur campus. Candidates should report to the designated venue (typically the Academic Section or Administrative Block - specific details are provided in the official advertisement) between the specified reporting hours. The process involves registration and document verification where candidates submit documents for preliminary screening, verification of MBBS degree, internship completion certificate, registration certificates, identity proof, category certificates, and other documents, followed by personal interview conducted by a panel of senior medical faculty assessing clinical knowledge, communication skills, patient care approach, and overall suitability. Selection is based on performance in the interview combined with academic credentials and relevant experience. The interview panel evaluates candidates' understanding of medical concepts, diagnostic and treatment approaches, emergency management capabilities, ethical conduct, and interpersonal skills essential for patient care. Candidates with higher academic scores, prior clinical experience, publications, or additional qualifications may have an advantage. ## Essential Documents to Bring for Walk-in Interview Candidates must carry the following documents in original along with self-attested photocopies: MBBS degree certificate and marksheets of all professional examinations, permanent registration certificate from State Medical Council (or provisional registration with undertaking to obtain permanent registration), compulsory rotating internship completion certificate, date of birth certificate (10th marksheet, birth certificate, or other official document), caste certificate (SC/ST/OBC-NCL) issued by competent authority if claiming reservation, PwBD certificate from authorized medical board if applicable, recent passport-size photographs (4-5 copies), Aadhaar card and other identity proof (PAN card, Driving License, Voter ID), experience certificates if any previous Junior Resident or medical experience, NOC (No Objection Certificate) from current employer if presently employed, and affidavit/undertaking on non-judicial stamp paper regarding service conditions, bond compliance, etc. Failure to produce original documents during verification will result in disqualification. Candidates should organize documents systematically in a file folder for smooth verification. ## Service Conditions and Duration Junior Resident appointments are typically made on a contractual basis for an initial period of 6 months to 1 year, extendable based on performance and institutional requirements. The contractual nature means these are not permanent positions, though extensions and reappointments are common for satisfactory performers. Junior Residents must execute a service bond or undertaking to serve the institution for the specified contract period. Premature termination or resignation may attract penalties as per institutional rules. Working hours for Junior Residents follow a demanding schedule typical of medical professions. Duties include morning ward rounds, OPD assignments, emergency rotations, and night duties as per roster.
