ESIC Pune Recruitment 2026 – Important Dates

Department-wise Interview Schedule

Since this is a walk-in drive spanning eight days, each of the 24 departments has been allotted its own interview date, so candidates only need to show up on the day relevant to their department. Missing the assigned date means missing that round entirely, as latecomers are not permitted entry.

Vacancy Breakdown: Post-wise Total Seats

A total of 77 posts are on offer across six categories of faculty and resident positions. Assistant Professor carries the largest share of vacancies at 25 seats, followed by Associate Professor and Senior Resident (3 Year) at 15 each. Candidates wondering how many posts are open in their specific role can refer to the table below for exact numbers.

Note: Vacancies are further distributed department-wise with reservation for UR, OBC, SC, ST, and EWS categories as per prevailing Government of India norms; candidates should confirm category-specific slots for their department on the official notification.

ESIC Pune Recruitment 2026 – Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility for this recruitment is determined by two factors – educational qualification and age – both of which vary slightly for Senior Resident posts compared to the teaching faculty cadre. Candidates asking whether they qualify for a Professor or Assistant Professor role should note that the qualification requirement follows National Medical Commission norms rather than a fixed degree list.

• Educational Qualification: As per National Medical Commission (NMC, erstwhile MCI) guidelines applicable to the respective post (Professor, Associate Professor, Assistant Professor, Senior Resident, Tutor/Demonstrator).
• Age Limit (Professor, Associate Professor, Assistant Professor, Tutor/Demonstrator): Not exceeding 68 years as on 08/06/2026.
• Age Limit (Senior Resident – 1 Year & 3 Year): Not exceeding 45 years as on 08/06/2026, with age relaxation applicable as per prevailing Government of India norms for reserved categories.
• Maximum Tenure: Engagement for teaching faculty can continue up to 70 years of age, subject to satisfactory performance and other rules being met.

ESIC Pune Recruitment 2026 –  Application Fee

The application fee differs based on category, and certain groups of candidates are fully exempted. Candidates from SC, ST, ESIC contractual employees, female candidates, defence ex-servicemen, and PwBD candidates are not required to pay any fee at all, while all other candidates must pay a fixed amount.

The application fee, once paid, will not be refunded under any circumstances, so candidates should confirm their category and post before making the draft.

ESIC Pune Recruitment 2026 – Selection Process

Selection under this recruitment happens entirely on interview day rather than through a separate written exam, though a screening test may be introduced if the number of applicants is very high. Candidates asking how the final list is prepared can note that scrutiny, interview performance, and the Selection Board’s decision together determine the outcome.

1. Application Scrutiny: Applications submitted on the day of the walk-in are scrutinised by an authorised officer or scrutiny committee; only eligible candidates proceed further.
2. Screening (if required): If the number of applicants is large, the hospital may introduce a shortlisting criterion, including a screening test, at its discretion.
3. Interview: Selection is based on performance in a personal interview before the Selection Board.
4. Result Declaration: The decision of the Recruiting Authority is final and binding; results are published on the official ESIC websites.
5. Joining: Selected candidates must join within 7 days from the date of the Offer of Appointment.

Given the interview-based format, candidates can generally expect results and offers to follow within a short window after their respective department’s interview date, though ESIC has not published a fixed turnaround timeline.

ESIC Pune Recruitment 2026 – How to Apply: Walk-in Interview Steps

This is a walk-in interview, which means there is no online application portal to register on – candidates must appear in person with a physical application. Anyone wondering how to apply for the ESIC Pune faculty posts should follow the steps below exactly as prescribed in the notification.

1. Download and fill the prescribed application form (Annexure-A) completely; incomplete applications are summarily rejected.
2. Prepare the application fee as a Demand Draft in favour of “ESI Fund A/c No. 1”, payable at Pune (where applicable).
3. Gather all original documents along with one set of self-attested photocopies.
4. Report to the Office of the Dean/Medical Superintendent, ESIC Medical College and Hospital, Bibvewadi, Pune between 9:00 AM and 10:30 AM on the date allotted to your department.
5. Submit the application for scrutiny; only eligible candidates are permitted to appear before the Selection Board.
6. Attend the interview and await results, which are published on the official ESIC website.

Candidates applying for more than one post must submit a separate application for each post, along with the applicable fee for each.

ESIC Pune Recruitment 2026 – Salary / Pay Scale (Per Post)

Pay for these contractual roles follows the 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC) structure, with a fixed basic pay plus allowances such as NPA, DA, and HRA depending on the post. Candidates comparing roles by salary can use the table below, which lists both the basic pay and the approximate total emoluments.

The remuneration is subject to automatic revision whenever Dearness Allowance rates change, but arrears will not be paid retrospectively. No additional service benefits such as PF, Pension, Gratuity, or Seniority apply, since these are purely contractual engagements.

ESIC Pune Recruitment 2026 – Security Deposit and Document Requirements

Selected candidates need to submit a refundable security deposit at the time of joining, in addition to a full set of original documents at the interview stage itself. This two-step document process is worth planning for in advance, since missing paperwork on interview day can lead to disqualification.

Security Deposit: Selected candidates must submit ₹20,000/- via Demand Draft in favour of “ESI Fund A/c No. 1”, payable at Pune, at the time of joining. This amount is refunded without interest after successful completion of the contract but is forfeited in case of resignation without notice or misconduct.

Documents Required at Interview (originals + self-attested copies):

• Class 10th Certificate (proof of Date of Birth)
• MBBS Marks Sheets (all years), Attempt Certificate, and Degree Certificate
• MD/MS/DNB/PG Degree Marks Sheets, Attempt Certificate, and Degree Certificate
• Valid EWS/OBC-NCL/SC/ST/PwBD Certificate, wherever applicable
• Valid State Medical Council/NMC Registration Certificate
• Proof of Publications and Experience Certificates, if applicable
• Relieving Certificate/NOC from previous or current employer
• Aadhaar Card and one recent passport-size photograph
• ICMR/NMC-approved Basic Course in Biomedical Research completion certificate, if applicable
• NMC-approved RBCW or BCMET certificate, if applicable

ESIC Pune Recruitment 2026 – Troubleshooting: Common Mistakes to Avoid

Many candidates lose out on walk-in opportunities not due to ineligibility but due to avoidable paperwork or timing errors. Here are the most common mistakes to watch for with this ESIC Pune recruitment drive.

• Arriving after the reporting window closes: Reporting is strictly between 9:00 AM and 10:30 AM; latecomers are not permitted to appear, so plan travel with a buffer.
• Bringing photocopies without originals: ESIC requires both originals and self-attested photocopies at the interview – carrying only one set can lead to rejection on the spot.
• Applying without confirming the DD amount and payee name: The Demand Draft must be drawn correctly in favour of “ESI Fund A/c No. 1”, payable at Pune; an incorrect payee name delays or invalidates the fee payment.
• Submitting one application for multiple posts: Each post applied for needs its own separate application form and fee – a single combined form will not be accepted for multiple posts.
• Missing the OBC-NCL certificate validity window: The OBC certificate must be issued not more than one year before the interview date; an older certificate may be rejected under the reserved category.
• Assuming reserved-category vacancies default to UR if unfilled beforehand: Reserved posts follow a specific fallback process (temporary filling for 39+39 days) rather than an automatic category conversion – read the notification’s reservation clause carefully.
