⚠️ Pro tip: Don’t wait for the last day. Government portals routinely slow down or crash in the final 24–48 hours of a high-demand recruitment like this one. Apply at least 3–4 days before the deadline so you have time to fix any upload or payment issues.

Eligibility Criteria for MHRB Assam Medical Officer Recruitment 2026

Age Limit (as on 1 January 2026)

Nationality

You must hold Indian citizenship as defined under Articles 5 to 8 of the Constitution of India.

Application Fee

Payment modes:

• Offline: Treasury Challan under Head of Account “0210-Medical and Public Health-01-Urban Health Services-800-Other Receipt.”
• Online: Government Receipt Accounting System (GRAS) at assamegras.gov.in.

💡 The fee is non-refundable, so double-check your category and eligibility before you pay. Keep a printed copy of the Treasury Challan — you’ll need to submit it at the interview stage, not while applying online.

MHRB Assam M&HO-I Salary 2026 — What You’ll Actually Take Home

The advertised pay band is ₹30,000 – ₹1,10,000 with Grade Pay ₹12,700, plus usual allowances (DA, HRA, and medical/travel allowances as applicable under Assam Government rules). On paper that’s just a scale — here’s what it roughly means in practice.

With Grade Pay of ₹12,700, your starting basic pay typically works out in the ₹42,700–₹45,000 range, before Dearness Allowance and House Rent Allowance are added on top. Once DA and HRA (which vary by posting location — urban postings usually attract higher HRA than rural ones) are factored in, gross monthly emoluments for a fresh M&HO-I officer commonly land somewhere in the ₹55,000–₹65,000 range, though this is an approximate illustration and not an official figure — the exact number depends on your posting location and the DA rate in force at the time of joining. Rural and remote postings, which are common for a state-wide health recruitment like this, may also carry additional rural/hardship allowance depending on Assam Government policy.

Selection Process

MHRB Assam has stated that the selection procedure will be notified separately, depending on how many applications are received. For M&HO-I recruitments of this scale in the past, the process has typically combined document scrutiny with an interview or a written/skill-based screening round — but candidates should treat this as indicative only and rely on the official notice once issued. Keep checking nhm.assam.gov.in regularly rather than waiting for a single announcement email.
