Employees' State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) has released its Specialist, Super Specialist & Senior Resident Recruitment 2026 notification under Advertisement No. 07/2026, inviting applications for 47 contractual posts at ESIC Model Hospital, Katha, Baddi, Himachal Pradesh. The notification was issued on 19 August 2026, and eligible candidates can attend the walk-in interview on 09 September 2026 (Wednesday), reporting between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM. The 47 vacancies are distributed across four categories: 13 Full Time/Part Time Specialist posts (spanning Chest/Pulmonary Medicine, Medicine, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Paediatrics, Radiology, Psychiatry, Skin, Surgery, ICU, and Accident & Emergency), 29 Senior Resident posts (across Anaesthesia & Critical Care, Chest/Pulmonary Medicine, Medicine, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Orthopaedics, Paediatrics, Radiology, Surgery, Eye, ENT, and Skin), 1 Part Time/Full Time Super Specialist post in Cardiology, and 4 Senior Resident posts against General Duty Medical Officer (GDMO). Specialist applicants need a PG Degree or Diploma in the concerned specialty with 3 years' experience (or 5 years' experience for Diploma holders); Senior Resident applicants need a PG Degree/Diploma, with non-PG candidates requiring 2 years' relevant working experience; the Super Specialist post requires a DM/M.Ch in Cardiology. Age limits vary by post: less than 69 years for Specialists, not exceeding 69 years for the Super Specialist, and not exceeding 45 years for Senior Resident posts, with relaxation for SC/ST/OBC/PH candidates as per rules. Selection is through a Walk-in Interview conducted by an Interview Board, followed by medical fitness and character/antecedents verification. Selected Specialists and the Super Specialist must hold professional indemnity insurance ranging from Rs. 10 lakhs to Rs. 30 lakhs depending on specialty. Interested candidates should download and fill the prescribed application form, attach self-attested photocopies of required documents, and report to the Office of the Medical Superintendent, ESIC Model Hospital, Katha, Baddi, Himachal Pradesh, on 09 September 2026 between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM, with all original documents for verification. This ESIC MH Baddi Recruitment 2026 offers MBBS, PG, and DM/M.Ch qualified doctors a large-scale contractual opportunity across a wide range of medical specialties at a central government hospital in Himachal Pradesh. This ESIC MH Baddi Recruitment 2026 stands out for its breadth, spanning nearly every major clinical specialty found at a full-service tertiary hospital, from Anaesthesia & Critical Care (7 Senior Resident posts, the single largest departmental allocation in this drive) to niche specialties such as Cardiology at the Super Specialist level. Candidates should note that Anaesthesia & Critical Care, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, and Orthopaedics collectively account for a significant share of the 29 Senior Resident vacancies, reflecting the hospital's likely emphasis on critical care, maternal health, and trauma/orthopaedic services as core clinical priorities at this Himachal Pradesh facility. Candidates should pay close attention to the mandatory professional indemnity insurance requirement, which applies specifically to Specialist and Super Specialist appointees and is tiered by specialty risk profile — Anaesthesiologists, Cardiac Surgeons, Neuro Surgeons, and Plastic Surgeons face the highest minimum coverage requirement of Rs. 30 lakhs per annum, while Physicians, Dentists, Radiologists, Pathologists, and Chest Physicians require Rs. 10 lakhs. This insurance policy and premium receipt must be submitted within 7 days of the engagement date, so candidates in higher-risk specialties should begin arranging this coverage well before their expected joining date to avoid delays. This recruitment also carries a distinctive financial commitment for selected candidates: a security deposit of Rs. 50,000 payable via Demand Draft at the time of joining, refundable only after successful completion of the contract period upon production of a No Dues Certificate. Additionally, selected candidates must execute a formal agreement with the Medical Superintendent on a non-judicial stamp paper, at their own cost. Candidates should factor these upfront financial requirements into their planning before attending the walk-in interview, since these are standard conditions of engagement rather than optional formalities. Given that this is a purely contractual engagement with no entitlement to PF, Pension, Gratuity, seniority, promotion, or regular absorption into ESIC, and with hostel accommodation and quarters not provided, candidates should treat this primarily as a fixed-term clinical opportunity rather than a pathway to permanent government service. Part-time Specialists should also note the minimum working-hour commitment of 16 hours per week and the absence of leave entitlements under the part-time arrangement, which differs meaningfully from full-time contractual terms. Candidates who have already completed 3 years of Senior Residency under the Senior Residency Scheme are explicitly excluded from applying for the Senior Resident posts under this notification, so applicants should confirm their prior residency tenure does not exceed this threshold before attending the interview. The notification also indicates that DNB accreditation with the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences is currently under process at ESIC MH Baddi, which may be relevant for candidates evaluating the longer-term training and accreditation value of a Senior Resident engagement at this facility. Candidates should also note that the number of vacancies in each department and category may increase or decrease based on actual requirement at the time of the interview, so applicants should confirm current vacancy figures with the hospital administration close to the interview date rather than relying solely on the figures published at the time of notification release. Interested doctors across these specialties should prepare all required certificates well in advance of the 09 September 2026 interview date.
