About This Recruitment
District Health Society, Godda has notified recruitment for 64 posts under Advt. No. 01/2026, dated 28 July 2026, with a corrigendum dated 31 July 2026. Applications are accepted online from 06 Aug 2026 to 30 Aug 2026. The prescribed qualification is Class 12 with a nursing, pharmacy or paramedical qualification, up to a postgraduate degree for the specialist posts, and the age limit is 21 to 35 years before category relaxation is applied. The vacancies are spread across 4 distinct posts, and the category-wise split for each is set out in the vacancy table below.
Selection is made through Scrutiny of applications, Merit scoring out of 100 and Written or skill test, followed by the remaining stages set out below. Selected candidates are placed in the pay scale of ₹10,000 to ₹49,500 a month, depending on the post. The place of posting is District Health Society, Godda, Jharkhand — under the National Health Mission.
The application fee is ₹400 for General, BC, EBC and EWS. The entire process is completed online, from registration through to fee payment and the final printout of the confirmation page. Check the notification for whether a correction window is offered, because most fields cannot be amended once the form is submitted.
Read the official notification in full before you begin the form. Eligibility, fees and dates are revised through corrigenda more often than candidates expect, and an application submitted against the wrong criteria is rejected at document verification rather than at submission — by which point the cycle is over.
