Key Reasons to Apply for DSHM Recruitment 2026
For healthcare professionals looking for stable, reasonably well-paid government-affiliated work in Delhi — yes. The salaries range from ₹28,853 for a field monitor to ₹85,050 for a medical lecturer, which is competitive for contractual health mission roles. The no-exam, interview-based selection is refreshing compared to lengthy competitive processes. The major caveat is the contractual nature—there is no path to regularization guaranteed here. But for early-career public health graduates, ANMs, dental surgeons, or even retired medical professionals, this is worth applying before the May 12 deadline. Note: No written test. No exam fee. No TA/DA for attending the interview. Make sure your documents include your DOB certificate, educational marksheets, experience letters, caste/EWS certificate, and registration certificates. The highest-paying role is Medical Lecturer at ₹85,050/month—requiring an MD/DNB degree and 3 years of teaching experience in a recognized medical college. Retired govt. Servants up to age 64 may also apply for this post.
