Ex Servicemen Contributory Health Scheme (ECHS), Allahabad, under the Ministry of Defence, Government of India, has released a Recruitment 2026 notification for 5 posts — Officer-in-Charge, Medical Officer, and Dental A/T/H — with the offline application open until 14 September 2026. Candidates holding a Graduate degree with managerial/healthcare institution experience, an MBBS degree with post-internship experience, or a Diploma in DA/DT/DH with dental laboratory experience, are eligible to apply for this ECHS Allahabad government job 2026. Selected candidates will support the ECHS Allahabad Polyclinic — Officer-in-Charge requires a Graduate degree with minimum 5 years of work experience in a healthcare institution or a managerial position; Medical Officer requires an MBBS degree with minimum 5 years of experience after internship, with additional qualification in Medicine/Surgery preferred; Dental A/T/H requires a Diploma in DA/DT/DH with minimum 5 years of work experience in a dental laboratory. The selection process for ECHS Allahabad Recruitment 2026 consists of an Interview followed by Document Verification; there is no written examination. The salary is ₹95,000 per month for both Officer-in-Charge and Medical Officer, and ₹36,500 per month for Dental A/T/H. The offline application for ECHS Allahabad Recruitment 2026 must reach the designated office before the last date of 14 September 2026. There is no application fee. Candidates should download the application form and complete notification PDF from echs.gov.in and send it via Speed Post/Registered Post as instructed. Candidates must read the complete official ECHS Allahabad 2026 notification before applying to confirm the exact vacancy break-up and required documents for each post. ECHS Polyclinics across India regularly hire experienced medical, dental, and administrative staff on a contractual basis to serve ex-servicemen and their dependents, since the scheme covers a large beneficiary base of retired defence personnel needing consistent, quality healthcare access. Given the significant work-experience requirement across all three posts here — a minimum of 5 years in each case — this recruitment specifically targets experienced professionals rather than fresh graduates, and candidates should be prepared to substantiate their prior healthcare institution or dental laboratory experience with documented proof at the interview stage, since no exam substitutes for demonstrated on-the-job experience here.
