About This Recruitment
State Health Society, Bihar has notified recruitment for 450 posts under Advertisement No. 03/2026. Applications are accepted online from 07 Aug 2026 to 21 Aug 2026. The prescribed qualification is MBBS with an MD, MS, DNB or diploma in the relevant speciality, registered with the Bihar Council of Medical Registration. The vacancies are spread across 6 distinct posts, and the category-wise split for each is set out in the vacancy table below.
Selection is made through Merit list, MBBS marks and Postgraduate qualification, followed by the remaining stages set out below. Selected candidates are placed in the pay scale of ₹90,000 to ₹1,20,000 a month, depending on the post, the qualification and the place of posting. The place of posting is Districts across Bihar — up to three district preferences may be given.
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.
