KGMU Lucknow has issued a new walk-in recruitment update for resident-level posts in April 2026, and most public summaries are referring to it as the KGMU Senior Resident Recruitment 2026 for 16 posts. For candidates, the practical question is simple: whether the notice matches their specialty, whether they meet the qualification requirement, and what they need to do before the interview date.
The official KGMU jobs page shows an advertisement entry in early April 2026, while the linked notice PDF is the main document for this recruitment. Since KGMU frequently issues short-term walk-in notices for Senior Resident and Non-PG Junior Resident positions, candidates should be careful not to rely only on a short headline. The exact department, qualification route and document list matter more than the title alone.
This page focuses on the useful parts first: interview date, likely application submission timeline, fee, post-wise vacancy picture, eligibility, documents, and the points you should verify from the official PDF before appearing. Where a detail is clear from accessible summaries it is stated directly, and where the exact official wording should still be checked, it is flagged accordingly.
Recruitment Overview
KGMU Lucknow has issued a short-term resident recruitment notice in April 2026 that is being widely tracked as a 16-post Senior Resident walk-in drive. The interview is scheduled for 25 April 2026. This is a short-format recruitment process meant for quick filling of resident vacancies rather than a long written-exam cycle.
One important point for candidates is that accessible summaries linked to the official PDF suggest the notice may involve a combined resident-format document in some departments. That means you should not rely only on the headline. Read the official PDF carefully to confirm whether your department is being filled as Senior Resident only or through a combined resident notice structure.
Important Dates
| Event | Date / Status |
|---|---|
| Advertisement entry on KGMU jobs page | 02 April 2026 |
| Hard-copy submission deadline | 23 April 2026 is reflected in widely available notice summaries; confirm from official PDF before submission |
| Walk-in interview date | 25 April 2026 |
| Reporting time | 01:30 PM is reflected in notice summaries; confirm from official PDF |
| Interview start time | 02:00 PM is reflected in notice summaries; confirm from official PDF |
The interview date is the strongest confirmed practical detail available. Candidates should still verify reporting time and last submission cut-off from the official notice before visiting the venue.
Post-wise Vacancy Details
Available summaries linked to the official KGMU notice indicate a total of 16 posts. However, one publicly accessible summary shows a parsing inconsistency in the department breakup. The most consistent vacancy picture available across notice summaries is shown below, but candidates should treat the official PDF as final for exact seat distribution.
| Department | Posts |
|---|---|
| Critical Care Medicine | 11 |
| Dermatology, Venereology and Leprosy | 3 |
| General Medicine | 1 |
| Urology | 1 |
| Total | 16 |
If you are applying for a specialty post, do not depend only on the total vacancy number. Confirm your department name from the official notification before submitting documents or fee.
Eligibility and Qualification
The minimum academic baseline visible across accessible summaries is MBBS, including completion of compulsory rotating internship. For Senior Resident eligibility, the relevant postgraduate qualification in the specialty is the more important requirement and is commonly reflected as MD, MS or DNB recognized by the competent authority.
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Basic qualification | MBBS with completion of internship |
| Senior Resident route | Relevant MD, MS or DNB in the concerned specialty |
| Recognition | Qualification should be from a recognized institution and aligned with applicable MCI or NMC norms |
| Registration | Medical registration and related proof should be kept ready for verification |
Because this notice is being reported through short summaries, candidates should match their degree exactly with the specialty requirement in the official PDF before appearing. A general MBBS degree may not be enough for every Senior Resident seat.
Age Limit and Reservation Notes
Accessible recruitment summaries linked to the official KGMU notice show the maximum age for Senior Resident posts as 45 years. Reservation-related concessions and category benefits are usually tied to Uttar Pradesh rules and domicile conditions where applicable.
Maximum age for Senior Resident: 45 years
Reserved-category relaxation is generally applied as per rules where admissible
UP domicile may be required for claiming state reservation benefits
Category certificate format, OBC validity period, and EWS certificate format should be checked carefully from the official notice if you are applying under a reserved category.
Application Fee and Payment Details
Recruitment summaries linked to the official KGMU notice consistently reflect an application fee structure for the walk-in process. Candidates should confirm the same from the official PDF and keep payment proof ready with the form.
| Category | Fee |
|---|---|
| UR / OBC / EWS | Rs. 3000 |
| SC / ST | Rs. 2000 |
The fee is widely reflected as payable through bank deposit to the University Income Fund account at Indian Bank, KGMU Branch. Notice summaries mention the following details: Account Name: University Income Fund, Account Number: 20229846433, IFSC: IDIB000K656. Attach the receipt only after confirming the same from the official notice.
Walk-in Process and Venue
The recruitment is being handled as a walk-in interview rather than an online exam-based process. Widely available notice summaries indicate that the candidate has to submit the hard copy of the application before the interview date and then report with originals for verification.
The commonly reflected venue is the Committee Hall, Office of the Medical Superintendent, GM and AH, KGMU, Lucknow. The commonly reflected reporting time is 01:30 PM on 25 April 2026, with interview proceedings beginning around 02:00 PM. Candidates should verify both venue and timing once from the official PDF before travelling.
Download and read the official notice.

Submit the hard copy with self-attested documents before the cut-off mentioned in the notice.
Appear for the walk-in interview with originals and photocopies.
Documents Required
Candidates should carry originals and one self-attested set of photocopies for verification. Based on accessible notice summaries and KGMU's standard resident-recruitment format, the following documents should be kept ready:
Filled application form
Fee deposit receipt
High school certificate or equivalent age proof
MBBS mark sheets and degree certificate
Internship completion certificate
MD, MS or DNB certificate for Senior Resident eligibility
Medical registration certificate
Category certificate, domicile certificate or EWS certificate, if applicable
Aadhaar card, PAN card and recent passport-size photographs
No Objection Certificate, if employed
Some summaries also mention affidavits at the time of joining or selection stage. Those should be prepared only after checking the exact annexure instructions in the official notice.
Selection Process, Pay and Appointment Terms
The selection process is straightforward. There is no written exam mentioned for this recruitment. Candidates are shortlisted through the walk-in interview and document verification process.
Selection mode: Walk-in interview
Additional stage: Document verification
Pay: As per university rules
Accessible summaries also indicate standard KGMU resident appointment conditions such as no TA or DA for attending the interview and service-related declarations at the time of joining. If selected, read the offer terms carefully because these short-term resident appointments are not the same as permanent teaching faculty recruitment.
What Candidates Should Re-check From the Official PDF
Because the official PDF is the controlling document and some public summaries show minor inconsistencies in department naming or breakup, candidates should verify the following points directly from the KGMU notice before submitting anything:
Whether your post is listed strictly as Senior Resident or under a combined resident format in the same notice
The exact department-wise vacancy breakup
The hard-copy submission deadline and office address for submission
The reporting time and interview venue
The exact postgraduate specialty requirement for your department
The fee payment method and bank details
Whether any affidavit or service-tenure declaration is required
This final check is important because walk-in notices move quickly and a small mismatch in specialty or paperwork can make the visit pointless.
