Recruitment overview
GMC Ratnagiri has published a revised advertisement for contractual appointment of Professors and Associate Professors in multiple subjects. The notice is linked to the Directorate of Medical Education and Research, Mumbai, and is meant for temporary appointment on contract basis.
The revised notice dated 06 April 2026 is the most relevant official document currently available on the college recruitment page for this recruitment cycle. The same notice also gives the interview schedule and the application form.

The revised notice clearly shows an offline submission window and a direct interview schedule. Candidates should not rely on older dates or summary-page timelines when the revised PDF gives a specific schedule.
Vacancy details and official mismatch note
The revised official PDF shows a subject-wise table for Professor posts with a printed total of 20. It also shows a separate Associate Professor table with a printed total that does not neatly match all summary-page counts circulating online.
| Post | What the revised official PDF shows |
|---|---|
| Professor | Printed total: 20 |
| Associate Professor | A separate subject-wise table is provided; applicants should verify the exact final total from the revised notice and recruiting office before applying |
Because the user topic refers to 34 posts but the revised official PDF currently visible on the college site contains a different subject-wise presentation, candidates should treat the revised official notice as the controlling document and verify the final count at the college level if required.
Subject-wise posts in the revised notice
The revised notice lists Professor vacancies in subjects such as Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry, Pharmacology, Pathology, Microbiology, Forensic Medicine, Community Medicine, General Medicine, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, Surgery, Orthopedics, ENT, Ophthalmology, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Anesthesiology, Radiology, Dermatology Venereology and Leprosy, and Chest and TB.
The Associate Professor table in the revised notice includes subjects such as Forensic Medicine, Community Medicine, General Medicine, Pediatrics, Orthopedics, Ophthalmology, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Anesthesiology, Radiodiagnosis, Emergency Medicine, Surgery, Dermatology Venereology and Leprosy, Psychiatry, and Cardio-Vascular and Thoracic Surgery.
Applicants should match their application strictly to the subject named in the official table and not use a broad specialty label on their own.
Eligibility and qualification standards
The revised notice says eligibility is as per the NMC norms referred to in the advertisement, including the notification dated 14 February 2022. Subject-wise essential qualifications are given in the vacancy tables.
- Professor posts require the subject-specific medical qualification mentioned in the official table and the experience pattern prescribed under NMC norms.
- Associate Professor posts require the subject-specific qualification mentioned in the table and the corresponding teaching and publication requirement under NMC norms.
- The notice also requires completion of the Basic Course in Medical Education and the Basic Course in Biomedical Research from institutions designated by NMC.
- For published work, the notice refers to eligible indexed journals and limits consideration to the categories stated in the official PDF.
Since the notice is subject-specific, candidates should read the exact row for their specialty instead of relying on a generic MD or MS statement alone.
Experience, publications and age limit
The revised PDF sets out separate experience benchmarks for Professor and Associate Professor.
- For Professor, the notice refers to three years of service as Associate Professor in the subject in a permitted or recognized medical college or institution.
- For Associate Professor, the notice refers to four years of service as Assistant Professor in the subject in a permitted or recognized medical college or institution.
- For Professor, the notice asks for at least four research publications, with at least two as Associate Professor.
- For Associate Professor, the notice asks for at least two research publications.
- The maximum age should not exceed 69 years as on 31 December 2025.
The revised notice does not separately lay out a broader relaxation table in the visible pages, so candidates should not assume additional relaxations unless separately notified.
Salary, tenure and service conditions
| Post | Monthly honorarium |
|---|---|
| Professor | Rs. 2,00,000 |
| Associate Professor | Rs. 1,85,000 |
The notice states that the appointment is contractual and temporary. The tenure will continue either until a regular candidate becomes available or for 364 days, whichever is earlier.
The revised notice also says that regular appointment rights do not arise out of this contract arrangement. The document contains additional service conditions about conduct, continuation and document verification, and candidates should read them in full before submitting the application.

Interview process and what applicants should verify
The revised notice fixes the interview on 23 April 2026 at 3:00 PM at the Dean's office, Government Medical College, Ratnagiri, Council Hall. Candidates should appear with original documents because the notice says original papers are necessary at the interview stage.
Before applying, candidates should verify three things from the revised notice: the exact subject name, the NMC-based qualification row for that subject, and the vacancy figure relevant to that subject. This is especially important here because the widely circulated post count and the revised official subject-wise presentation do not fully align.
