Diamond Harbour and the Candidate Catchment
This is editorial context, not part of the official notification. Confirm specifics with the hiring office. Diamond Harbour is a town in South 24 Parganas, around 50 km south of Kolkata along the Hooghly. The campus at Harindanga, New Town sits close to the Diamond Harbour railway terminus, the last station on the Sealdah–Diamond Harbour branch line, which makes train travel from Sealdah and Ballygunge practical for candidates based in central and south Kolkata. By road, the route runs along Diamond Harbour Road. Candidates from Kolkata can reach the campus in around two hours by train or road. Bengali is the working language of the region, which suits patient interaction in the wards. The catchment for this post is mainly fresh BDS graduates from dental colleges across West Bengal who have completed internship and hold a valid registration. Comparable government dental and medical institutions in the state, such as those in Kolkata and Burdwan, run similar house staff cycles.
Important Dates
The notification fixes a short application window followed by a single interview date. Candidates should note the 3 pm cut-off on the last day, since the notification states that no prayer from any applicant will be entertained after the closing date.

Vacancy Details & Salary
The notification lists a single post with the full vacancy count. Here’s the breakdown of posts, total vacancy and salary for your reference.
| Post Name | Total Vacancy | Pay Scale |
|---|---|---|
| Non-Stipendiary Dental House Staff | 6 | No stipend (non-stipendiary) |
The post is non-stipendiary, which means the authority pays no stipend and provides no accommodation. This is editorial context, not part of the official notification: BDS graduates often take non-stipendiary house staff posts to gain hospital-based clinical exposure and a house staff completion record after internship, which can support later applications for stipendiary posts or postgraduate study. Candidates weighing the financial trade-off should factor this in before applying.
Eligibility Criteria
The eligibility criteria for Non-Stipendiary Dental House Staff include education and age requirements. Candidates should make sure they meet all the conditions before applying.
Educational Qualification
- A BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) degree from a recognised university of India.
- Completed BDS internship from a recognised university of India, supported by an internship completion certificate.
- An updated registration certificate from the dental council.
- BDS mark sheets and B.D.S. attempt (chance) certificates are required at verification.
Here, “house staff” refers to a post-internship junior residency position in a teaching hospital. A non-stipendiary house staff post carries the same clinical duties but no stipend.
Age Limit
- The age of the candidate must not exceed 35 years as on the date of appointment.
Selection Process
The selection is based on academic record and an interview, with no written examination mentioned in the notification.
- Submission of the completed offline application with the attached proforma and documents.
- Verification of all original documents before the interview board.
- Selection on the basis of academic qualification and the candidate’s performance before the interview board.
One practical point from the notification: the proforma records BDS final year total marks (full marks 1200), the number of chances lost during the BDS course, and the number of gold medals and honours secured. So the academic score that feeds the selection draws directly on these proforma entries, and candidates with cleaner attempt records and academic distinctions are scored on those fields. The notification also states that candidates who have already completed six months of house staff in any medical college will be considered later, if vacancy persists from fresh candidates. The selection follows the norms laid down by the Department of Health & Family Welfare, Govt. of West Bengal vide memo No. ME/HS-03-10/M/616 dated 25/04/2013.

Should You Apply?
This recruitment suits fresh BDS graduates in West Bengal who have completed internship, hold a valid registration, and want supervised hospital experience in a government teaching setup. It fits candidates based in Kolkata and South 24 Parganas who can commute to Diamond Harbour, and those building a record before applying for stipendiary posts or postgraduate study. It is a weaker fit for candidates who need an income from the post, since it is non-stipendiary with no accommodation, and for those seeking a long-term placement, since the initial engagement is six months and the authority can terminate it. With 6 vacancies and a low entry bar of BDS plus internship, competition is likely to come from the pool of recent dental graduates in the region rather than from a national field. Typical career progression after a house staff term, as a general pattern in dental careers and not part of the notification, runs toward stipendiary junior residency, MDS entrance preparation, or private practice. The honest trade-off is clinical exposure and a teaching-hospital record against the absence of any stipend.
FAQs — Dental House Staff Recruitment 2026
Is the Diamond Harbour Dental House Staff post paid?
No. The post is non-stipendiary, so the authority pays no stipend and provides no accommodation. Candidates take it mainly for clinical exposure and a house staff completion record after BDS internship.
Can candidates who already did six months of house staff apply?
Yes, but they are considered later. The notification states fresh candidates are taken first, and those who have completed six months of house staff elsewhere are considered only if vacancies persist.

No written exam is mentioned. Selection is based on academic qualification and the candidate’s performance before the interview board on 3 July 2026, with documents verified before the board.
