DPMU Balangir Recruitment 2026 – Walk-in for 3 Physician and Medical Officer Posts on 11 August
The Office of the CDM&PHO-cum-District Mission Director, District Programme Management Unit (DPMU), National Health Mission, Balangir has issued Notice No. 2356/NHM/2026 dated 30 July 2026, announcing a walk-in interview and on-spot engagement on 11 August 2026 for three contractual medical posts in Balangir district, Odisha.
The notice is issued in continuation of the district’s earlier Advertisement No. 3307/NHM/2025 dated 25 September 2025. That matters practically: all general instructions, terms and conditions from the parent advertisement remain in force, so candidates should read that document alongside this notice rather than treating the walk-in notice as a standalone advertisement.

The notice carries an important caveat on pay: the stated base remuneration is subject to change based on programme continuation and PIP approval. The Programme Implementation Plan is approved annually, so the figure quoted is the current-year rate rather than a guaranteed scale. Performance incentives and other benefits are also admissible for all posts as per norms and orders issued from time to time.
Eligibility Criteria
Physician / Consultant Medicine, NPHCE
- MBBS degree from an institution recognised by the Medical Council of India
- Valid registration from the Odisha Council of Medical Registration
- Candidates with an MD in Medicine or a Post Graduate Diploma in Geriatric Medicine from any recognised University or Institution will be preferred
- Upper age limit: 65 years
NPHCE is the National Programme for Health Care of the Elderly, which explains the stated preference for geriatric medicine credentials. Candidates holding a PG Diploma in Geriatric Medicine have a clear advantage here even though it is not an essential requirement.
MO MBBS at UHWC under PM-ABHIM
- MBBS or equivalent degree from a Medical College or Medical Institution recognised by the Medical Council of India
- Valid registration certificate under the Odisha Medical Registration Rules, 1965
- Upper age limit: 65 years
UHWC refers to Urban Health and Wellness Centre, and the post sits under the Pradhan Mantri Ayushman Bharat Health Infrastructure Mission. These are urban primary care postings rather than hospital-based roles.
Age Limit
The lower age limit is 21 years as on the date of the interview or on-spot engagement. The upper age limit is 65 years for both posts. The generous upper ceiling makes these positions viable for retired government medical officers and senior practitioners looking for a defined-term engagement.
Nature of Engagement
Candidates should be clear about what they are applying for. The notice states plainly that:
- Engagement is on a contractual basis for a term of 11 months
- Renewal is subject to society norms, based on performance
- Continuation depends on the programme itself continuing
- The posts are purely temporary and co-terminus with the scheme
Co-terminus means the post ends when the scheme ends. This is standard for NHM contractual engagements but is worth understanding before you commit.
How to Attend the Walk-in Interview
- Prepare the application form as prescribed in Advt. No. 3307/NHM/2025.
- Attach self-attested copies of all supporting documents.
- Reach the Office of CDM&PHO, Balangir on 11 August 2026 at 11:00 AM.
- Carry originals for verification along with the self-attested photocopy set.
There is no online application stage and no fee mentioned in the notice. This is a direct walk-in and on-spot engagement process.
Documents to Carry
- Completed application form as per the parent advertisement format
- MBBS degree certificate and all marksheets
- MD Medicine or PG Diploma in Geriatric Medicine certificate, if applicable
- Valid Odisha Council of Medical Registration certificate
- Matriculation certificate as proof of date of birth
- Internship completion certificate
- Experience certificates, if any
- Recent passport size photographs and photo identity proof
A Recurring Opportunity
One detail in the notice is genuinely useful for job seekers in the district: it states that every month the vacancy position will be shown on the aforesaid website. Balangir DPMU runs these walk-in engagements on the second Tuesday of each month. Candidates who miss the 11 August date, or who are not selected, can reasonably expect another cycle rather than waiting a full year — a meaningful difference from most government recruitment.
