Eligibility Criteria
AIIMS Jodhpur Faculty Recruitment does not follow the standard NET/PhD academic pattern seen in university faculty posts; eligibility is medical qualification and teaching experience based, varying by post level.
Professor: MD/MS (or equivalent under Schedule I/II of the Indian Medical Council Act) plus 14 years teaching or research experience for general disciplines; for super specialty departments, M.Ch./D.M. plus 12 years experience (or 11 years with the 3 year/6 year post MBBS route). Non-medical candidates need a Master’s degree in the concerned specialty plus a Doctorate and 14 years of relevant experience.
Additional Professor: Same qualification structure with 10 years experience for general disciplines and 8 years (or 7 years) for super specialties. Non-medical candidates need 10 years post-Doctorate experience.
Associate Professor: MD/MS with 6 years experience, or M.Ch./D.M. with 4 years (or 3 years) for super specialties. Non-medical candidates need 6 years post-Doctorate experience.
Assistant Professor: A postgraduate medical qualification (MD/MS or department-specific equivalent) is mandatory across all 35 posts. Experience requirements range from 1 year for D.M./M.Ch. holders in super specialty departments to 3 years for MD/MS holders in general disciplines. Candidates with the longer 3 year or 6 year post-MBBS super specialty degree need no additional experience.
DNB and DrNB holders can apply if they provide documentary evidence of equivalence with MD/MS/DM/M.Ch. as per the applicable NMC notification, along with proof their training was completed in an institution meeting the prescribed bed strength or senior residency criteria.

Faculty selected for these departments will be involved in both undergraduate and postgraduate medical training as well as departmental research output expected of a National Importance institute.
Teaching and Clinical Responsibilities
Faculty appointed through AIIMS Jodhpur Faculty Recruitment are expected to combine clinical duties in their specialty with undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, case-based training, and supervision of resident doctors. The post is whole time in nature and private practice of any kind is prohibited. Candidates should also expect eventual rotational postings to the institute’s rural health and urban health centers as decided by the institute.
Promotion Path and Career Progression

Selection Process
AIIMS Jodhpur Faculty Recruitment does not include a written exam. Selection is based on bio-data shortlisting followed by a personal interview at AIIMS Jodhpur (no TA/DA is paid). Candidates must clear a minimum cutoff of 60% for EWS/UR, 55% for OBC, and 50% for SC/ST/PwBD categories in the interview. Shortlisted candidates must produce all original documents at the time of interview, so keeping degree certificates, experience letters, and category certificates organized in advance genuinely helps.

Is This Job Right for You?
AIIMS Jodhpur Faculty Recruitment suits doctors who already hold the required postgraduate or super specialty qualification for their department and can show the corresponding teaching or research experience. Candidates still completing their D.M./M.Ch. or without a State Medical Council/NMC registration in hand should wait for a future cycle rather than apply now. Since the posts are whole time with private practice prohibited, this recruitment is best suited to candidates seeking a long-term academic and clinical career at a National Importance institute rather than those wanting to combine teaching with private practice.
