Is This ESIC Recruitment Kolkata 2026 Worth Your Time?
Experienced medical teachers with MD/MS/DNB qualifications and a clean service record should seriously consider this opportunity. The salary starting from ₹1,27,276/- for Assistant Professor and going up to ₹2,60,226/- for Professor is among the better-paying contractual academic positions in government medical institutions today. However, this is a contractual post — it does not guarantee permanent employment. The contract starts for one year and is renewable for up to two more years based on performance. No private practice is allowed during the tenure, which is a firm condition. Competition is always moderate to high for ESIC faculty posts given the reputed institution and central government backing. The walk-in format means there’s no time for second thoughts — your documents, DD, and preparation must all be in place on day one.
