Who Can Apply — PGIMER Recruitment 2026

Your qualification must match the post and department you pick. In general, PGIMER asks for MD, MS, MDS, MBBS, MSc, MA, MPH, MHA or PhD level degrees. Senior Resident applicants also need a valid medical or dental council registration, and the required postgraduate degree in the chosen specialty.

Two important bars to note: if you have already finished three years of Senior Residency in one discipline, you cannot apply for Senior Resident again. The same applies if you have completed DM or MCh. Keep your certificates ready in scanned form, and use a PGIMER photo and signature resizer so the files match the size and format the portal wants.
