RUHS Medical Officer Eligibility Criteria 2026
Before you plan your application, make sure you meet the essential eligibility conditions.
Educational Qualification
- ✅ Candidates must hold an MBBS degree from a recognised medical institution.
- ✅ Valid registration with the Rajasthan Medical Council is mandatory by the date of the written examination. This requirement comes from the Karmik Vibhag (Personnel Department) notification dated 17 September 1999.
Age Limit
Age Limit (as on 01.01.2027)
| Category | Minimum Age | Maximum Age |
|---|---|---|
| General/EWS | 22 years | 45 years |
| SC/ST/OBC/MBC/EWS Male (Rajasthan) — relaxation | 22 years | 50 years (45 + 5) |
| SC/ST/OBC/MBC/EWS Female (Rajasthan) — relaxation | 22 years | 55 years (45 + 10) |
| General Female (Rajasthan) — relaxation | 22 years | 50 years (45 + 5) |
| Ex-Servicemen | 22 years | 50 years |
| Widow / Divorced Women | 22 years | No upper limit |
⚠️ Non-Bonafide Residents of Rajasthan are treated as Unreserved candidates for age relaxation too — they get no additional benefit beyond the standard 22–45 age band.
💡 Pro Tip: Since RMC registration is a hard requirement, get your registration renewed and in order well before the exam date — this is one of the most common reasons candidates get disqualified at the verification stage.
