About ESIC Medical College and Hospital, Kalaburagi
ESIC is a statutory body under the Ministry of Labour & Employment that runs health and social security schemes for workers in the organised sector. ESIC Medical College and Hospital, Kalaburagi is one of the medical colleges and hospitals the corporation runs to provide both patient care and medical teaching. For a candidate, a contract faculty post here means working in a functioning teaching hospital under NMC-linked norms, with the option of longer engagement if performance and institutional need allow it.
This is added context based on general knowledge of the region, not part of the official notification. Confirm travel and local details with the hiring office.
Kalaburagi (also known as Gulbarga) is a district headquarters in north Karnataka. It is connected by rail to Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Solapur and Mumbai, and lies on National Highway 50, which links it to Pune and other parts of Maharashtra. Kannada is the main local language, though Hindi and Urdu are also widely spoken in the city given its location near the Karnataka-Telangana-Maharashtra border. Doctors moving from nearby cities such as Hyderabad, Solapur or Bidar can expect a same-day road or rail journey.
On comparison, contract faculty pay at ESIC medical colleges tends to run close to what AIIMS and central government medical colleges pay contractual faculty, though it stays below what NMC-approved private medical colleges sometimes offer for senior specialists. The trade-off is job stability from a central government body against the one-year (extendable) nature of the contract.

Caution Deposit (per post)
| Post | Caution Deposit |
|---|---|
| Professor | Rs. 2,48,850 |
| Associate Professor | Rs. 1,65,480 |
| Assistant Professor | Rs. 1,42,170 |
This deposit is paid by demand draft in favour of ESI Corporation at the time of joining and is refunded after the contract period, once a “No Dues Certificate” is produced. If a selected candidate ends the contract within six months of joining, the deposit is adjusted towards the ESI Fund as administrative cost.
Eligibility
The notification sets one common standard across all three posts and all departments: qualification as per NMC (National Medical Commission) norms for the respective post and specialty, and age less than 69 years, including all category relaxations.
Because the notification does not set separate qualification text for each department, a post-wise or department-wise eligibility table is not needed here — the NMC norm and the age limit apply uniformly to Professor, Associate Professor and Assistant Professor posts alike, with the specific degree and experience requirement for each specialty following the applicable NMC teacher eligibility qualifications.
Retirees from Central or State Government or PSU equivalent posts are eligible to apply. Doctors currently working in recognised, NMC-approved private medical institutions who meet the eligibility criteria may also apply.
Selection Process
Selection is by interview only; there is no written exam unless the institute decides otherwise for a large applicant pool.
- Applications submitted on the day of the walk-in interview, along with the fee, are scrutinised by the institute’s scrutiny committee.
- Only candidates found eligible at scrutiny are allowed to appear before the selection committee.
- If the number of applicants is large, the selection committee may hold a screening test to shortlist candidates.
- Fifty percent of the total marks is the qualifying criterion for selection.
- Selected candidates receive a provisional offer of appointment by email, after which they must report for medical examination and verification of original certificates.
- Final selection is based on personal interview performance, and the appointment offer stays provisional until certificates are verified at the time of joining.
- A waiting list is prepared and stays valid for 2 months from the date the result is released.
One practical note from the notification: candidates who applied for a higher post may opt for a lower post during the interview, within the same department.
Application Fee
| Category | Fee |
|---|---|
| SC / ST / Female candidates | Nil |
| All other categories | Rs. 300 |
The fee is paid only by demand draft in favour of “ESI Corporation,” payable at Kalaburagi, submitted along with the application form at the time of the walk-in interview. The demand draft must be issued after the date this advertisement was published. The fee, once paid, is not refunded under any circumstances, and payment by any other mode is not accepted.

Important Links
Should You Apply?
This vacancy suits MBBS or PG-qualified doctors who meet NMC faculty norms for a broad specialty department and want teaching hospital experience with a central government body, without waiting for an online recruitment cycle. It also suits retired government or PSU doctors, since the notification allows them to apply. Competition is likely to be moderate to high for general categories in commonly available specialties such as Anatomy, Biochemistry and General Medicine, and comparatively lower in less commonly filled specialties.
The main trade-off is that this is a one-year contract post, extendable up to three years on satisfactory performance, not a permanent government job. Selected candidates get no claim to regularisation, no pension, PF or gratuity benefit, and no private practice is allowed during the tenure. Pay is fixed and no other allowance beyond TA/DA on travel is paid. Anyone looking for long-term job security through this route should read the terms of contract in the full notification before applying, since the contract can end with one month’s notice from either side.

The notification sets one common limit for all three posts: less than 69 years, as per NMC norms, including all category relaxations.

Not by default. The notification states that a screening test may be held only if the selection committee finds the number of applicants too large to interview directly.
