The selection process for the Lohardaga NHM Recruitment 2026 is merit-based and involves a written examination followed by document verification. Candidates should prepare accordingly as the written test carries the majority of the weightage in the final merit list.

  1. Written Examination (60 marks): Objective, multiple-choice questions; duration of 1 hour.
  2. Academic/Training Score (40 marks): Marks are awarded based on percentage obtained in qualifying examinations as per the prescribed scoring formula.
  3. Skill Test (if applicable): For select posts, a skill test may be conducted, which is qualifying in nature only and does not contribute to the merit score.

Common Mistakes to Avoid – Lohardaga NHM Application 2026

Many applications get rejected each year for avoidable errors. Here are the most important pitfalls to watch out for when applying for the Lohardaga NHM Recruitment 2026.

  • Handwritten application: The form must be computerized/typed — handwritten forms are rejected outright.
  • Wrong DD payee name: The Demand Draft must be in favour of “District Health Society, Lohardaga” and payable at Lohardaga only.
  • Submitting one application for multiple posts: Each post requires a separate application and separate fee.
  • Invalid caste/domicile certificates: Certificates must be in the exact prescribed Appendix format and issued after the relevant cut-off dates.
  • Volunteer experience: Volunteer work is explicitly not counted as work experience — do not include it.
  • Missing CGPA conversion chart: If your marks are in CGPA, attach the conversion chart along with your marksheet.
  • Applying for a post without meeting the driving license requirement: Several posts require a permanent two-wheeler license — ensure yours is valid and permanent, not a learner’s license.
