UKMSSB ANM Recruitment 2026 Apply Online for 335 Female Health Worker Posts

What UKMSSB has announced for ANM recruitment 2026

UKMSSB has released a modified advertisement for 335 Health Worker (Female) posts in the Medical Health and Family Welfare Department, Uttarakhand. These are Group C posts and the pay level mentioned in the advertisement is Level-3, which corresponds to Rs. 21,700 to Rs. 69,100.

The application process is online only. The official schedule says the application portal opens on 21 April 2026 and closes on 4 May 2026 at 5:00 PM. Fee payment must also be completed by the same deadline.

The modified notice is especially relevant for candidates who had already applied under the earlier 180-post advertisement. The board has clearly stated that such candidates do not need to submit a fresh application. They can use the edit or correction window if they need to update details.

Important dates you should not miss

If you plan to apply, do not leave document upload and fee payment for the last day. This recruitment is document-heavy and the form asks for combined PDF upload along with image files and district preferences.

Vacancy details with category and district breakup

The total number of posts is 335. The category breakup in the official advertisement is 48 for SC, 5 for ST, 19 for OBC, 26 for EWS, and 237 for unreserved candidates.

All posts are for women. The advertisement also notes that since the post itself is reserved for female candidates, separate Uttarakhand women reservation is not additionally counted on these posts.

Who can apply: qualification and registration requirements

For direct recruitment to the Health Worker (Female) post, the candidate must have the prescribed educational qualification and training as laid down by the Indian Nursing Council, New Delhi, along with the required Basic Health Worker (Female) training course. The official advertisement specifically mentions that the course includes six months of maternity training.

The second non-negotiable condition is registration. The candidate must be duly registered with the Uttarakhand Nurses and Midwives Council. The advertisement further says that by the last date of online application, the candidate must have a valid or renewed registration certificate from the council. Certificates issued after the last date will not be treated as valid for this recruitment.

In simple terms, ANM qualification alone is not enough. Your council registration status must also be correct before the closing date.

Age limit, relaxation, and domicile-related conditions

The official age calculation date is 1 July 2025. On that date, the candidate must be at least 18 years old and must not have crossed 42 years of age.

The advertisement allows age relaxation under Uttarakhand government rules for eligible reserved categories and other notified classes. It specifically refers to upper age relaxation for Uttarakhand SC, ST, and OBC candidates and certain other classes as per state orders. Candidates should rely on the exact category rules in the official notice while filling the form.

Domicile and reservation conditions are also important here. Reservation benefits are available only to candidates who meet the Uttarakhand state eligibility conditions and can support their claim with valid certificates. The notice also sets out who can be treated as eligible in relation to Uttarakhand residence, study history, or service-linked conditions. If you are applying under a reserved category or a special sub-category, make sure the certificate is valid on the last date of application.

Salary and nature of the post

The official pay scale for the Health Worker (Female) post is Level-3, Rs. 21,700 to Rs. 69,100. The advertisement also describes the post as non-gazetted and covered under the contributory pension scheme structure applicable to the service.

For candidates comparing state health worker recruitments, this means the job sits in a regular state service pay framework rather than a short-term contract model. The practical role, however, is field-oriented and linked to the public health system, so candidates should think beyond salary and be prepared for district-based deployment and service conditions.

Selection process: no written exam pattern in the notice

The official advertisement does not set out a standard written test pattern with subject-wise syllabus, question count, or admit card schedule. Instead, the board says it will prepare district-wise merit on the basis of the marks obtained by candidates in the Basic Health Worker (Female) training course.

This is the practical selection basis described in the notice:

• District-wise merit will be prepared based on ANM or Basic Health Worker training marks.
• If two or more candidates have the same marks, the older candidate will be placed higher.
• If the tie still remains and preferential qualification applies, that will be considered.
• If age is also the same, alphabetical order of names in English is used for tie-breaking.

The advertisement also indicates that document verification is central to the process, and final outcome follows verification of the claims made in the application. So candidates should focus on correct marks entry and valid supporting records rather than expecting a separate exam preparation route.

Application fee category-wise

The application fee must be paid online through net banking, debit card, or credit card. The official fee table is as follows:

The notice clearly says the fee is non-refundable. Even if a candidate later cancels the application or is found ineligible, the fee will not be returned. Candidates claiming category benefit should choose the category carefully because wrong selection can create problems in both fee and reservation claims.

Documents you need before filling the form

The advertisement asks candidates to upload photograph and signature separately in JPG format, each up to 50 KB. It also requires a combined PDF file of supporting documents. The core documents listed in the notice are:

1. High School certificate
2. Intermediate certificate
3. All-year mark sheets of Auxiliary Nursing Midwifery course
4. ANM passing certificate
5. Uttarakhand Nurses and Midwives Council registration certificate, including renewed certificate where applicable
6. Category certificate for SC, ST, OBC, or EWS, if applicable
7. Sub-category certificates such as dependent of freedom fighter, ex-army, or orphan child of Uttarakhand, if applicable
8. Uttarakhand domicile or non-transferable service certificate, if applicable
9. NCC or Territorial Army certificate, if applicable

The first five document groups are mandatory. If you are claiming any category or sub-category benefit, the related supporting certificate must also be uploaded within the prescribed timeline.

How to apply and what existing applicants should do

The board says the online application has three stages: registration, application submission, and final submission. Candidates must apply through the official UKMSSB website only. The notice says the form will appear under the label Health Worker (FEMALE) Examination-2025 on the portal.

1. Visit the official UKMSSB website and open the Apply Now section.
2. Register through the Candidate Register option using a valid email ID and mobile number.
3. Upload passport-size photograph and signature in JPG format.
4. Fill qualification details carefully, especially total ANM training marks and passing year.
5. Upload the combined PDF of required documents.
6. Select all 13 district preferences in order of priority. The advertisement says filling all 13 district options is mandatory.
7. Review the form, complete payment, and do final submission.

One important special case applies here. Candidates who had already applied under the earlier 180-post advertisement do not need to apply again. If they want to correct or update details, they can use the edit or correction window from 6 May 2026 to 9 May 2026. After final submission, district choice and other claims cannot be changed casually, so check the form very carefully before locking it.
