⚠️ The 26 November date is our own count of 30 days from 27 October 2026. The brief notice does not print a calendar date, so check the detailed advertisement for the exact cut-off day and time. Posted forms can also be delayed in transit, so send yours early.
Vacancy Details
The brief notice names a single post, Factory Medical Officer, and does not mention how many seats are open. Earlier FMO advertisements from GAIL stations have usually covered one position, but that is only a pattern, not a confirmation for this round.
Check the detailed advertisement on the GAIL Careers page for the final vacancy count and any category-wise breakup.
GAIL FMO Eligibility Criteria
You need to meet two sets of conditions: a medical degree and an industrial health qualification. Missing either one will cost you the application.
Educational Qualification
- MBBS degree from a recognised medical institution.
- Completed compulsory internship attached to the MBBS course.
- Valid medical registration with the Medical Council of India (or the current recognised registration authority, as the advertisement specifies).
- Industrial health qualification, which can be any one of the following:
- A training certificate in industrial health of at least three months, recognised by the State Government.
- A Diploma in Industrial Health.
- An equivalent qualification accepted under the applicable rules.
✅ In plain terms, a general MBBS doctor without any industrial health training does not qualify for this post.
💡 Pro Tip: If your certificate comes from a short course, keep proof that the State Government recognises it. Recognition is the point most likely to be questioned during document checking.
Age Limit
The brief advertisement does not state a minimum or maximum age, relaxation rules or a cut-off date for counting age. Read the detailed advertisement before you decide whether you are eligible.
| Particulars | Details |
|---|---|
| Minimum Age | [Check detailed advertisement] |
| Maximum Age | [Check detailed advertisement] |
| Age Relaxation (SC/ST/OBC/PwBD) | [Check detailed advertisement] |
| Age Counted As On | [Check detailed advertisement] |
GAIL Factory Medical Officer Salary 2026
The short notice does not print a monthly figure. The detailed advertisement will carry the consolidated fee and the benefits, so do not assume GAIL’s regular executive pay scales apply to a contract doctor.
For a rough idea, here is what earlier official GAIL doctor advertisements offered. These are not the terms for this vacancy, only a benchmark.
| Earlier GAIL Advertisement | Fee Mentioned | Other Benefits Mentioned |
|---|---|---|
| Khera FMO (2024) | ₹93,000 per month | OPD expenses of ₹1,000 per month; family floater insurance of ₹5 lakh |
| Pata Shift Duty FMO, AFIH certified (March 2026) | ₹1,04,000 per month, with a yearly increment of ₹3,100 | [Check that advertisement] |
If the 2026 Khera terms follow the same pattern, expect a fixed monthly fee instead of DA and HRA. The key lines to read are the fee, the contract period, the increment, leave and any accommodation clause.
Selection Process
The brief notice does not describe the selection stages. Based on how GAIL has handled earlier FMO posts, shortlisting on qualifications and experience followed by a personal interview is the likely route. Treat this as an expectation, not an official statement.
- No written exam date has been announced.
- No interview date has been announced.
- Shortlisted candidates are usually asked to bring original documents, so keep them in order.
Duties of a Factory Medical Officer
An FMO looks after the health of people working at an industrial site. At Khera, the work is based at the plant’s Occupational Health Centre. Typical tasks for this kind of role include:
- Seeing employees for consultation and primary care.
- Carrying out occupational health and fitness checks.
- Responding to medical emergencies at the workplace.
- Supporting preventive health and wellness drives.
- Keeping medical records up to date.
- Referring serious cases to outside hospitals.
📌 These are general duties for the role. GAIL’s detailed advertisement and contract terms decide the final list.
Job Location – Khera Compressor Station, Ujjain
The posting is at GAIL Khera Compressor Station, Village Chikli, Post Nanded, Tehsil Makdone, District Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh – 456668. Earlier Khera advertisements noted that GAIL has no in-house medical facility at this station, which is why the OPD allowance existed. Confirm whether accommodation or transport help is offered, since the site is outside the city.
How to Apply for GAIL FMO Recruitment 2026
The brief notice says you must use GAIL’s prescribed application form. It does not confirm whether to send it by email or by post. In earlier Khera rounds, applications went by email to the station’s HR department with a fixed subject line, so check which mode applies this time.
- Visit the official website, gailonline.com.
- Open the Careers section and go to Current Openings.
- Find the advertisement titled “Engagement of Factory Medical Officer on Contract Basis” (GAIL/KCS/OPEN/HR/MED/2026).
- Download and read the detailed advertisement fully.
- Download the prescribed application form.
- Fill in every field carefully and sign the form.
- Attach the supporting documents listed below.
- Send the application through the mode named in the detailed advertisement.
- Keep a copy of the form and any proof of sending.
⚠️ Use only the official GAIL website for the form and instructions. Do not pay anyone who claims to arrange your selection.
Documents to Keep Ready
- Completed and signed application form
- Recent passport-size photograph
- MBBS degree certificate and marksheets
- Internship completion certificate
- Medical registration certificate
- Industrial health certificate or diploma
- Experience certificates, if applicable
- Date of birth proof and government ID
- Any other document listed in the detailed advertisement
Scan everything as clear PDFs and name the files neatly. If the process is by email, a tidy, single set of attachments looks better and avoids size-limit problems.
Application Fee
The brief notice does not mention an application fee. Earlier GAIL FMO advertisements stated that no fee applied, but confirm this in the detailed advertisement before sending any payment.
Is This Job Right for You?
This post suits a doctor who wants a stable occupational health role close to industry work, without hospital-style night rosters. It may suit you well if you:
- Already hold an industrial health certificate or diploma.
- Prefer a regular routine in a corporate setting.
- Are comfortable living near Ujjain district.
It may not suit you if you want a permanent government post. Contract engagements do not give any right to regular GAIL employment, and earlier advertisements said this clearly.
