KEA Female Supervisor Recruitment 2026: 141 Posts, Apply Online by 28 Nov
Chandigarh’s biggest hospital is hiring in bulk — and 54 of the 60 posts need nothing more than a 10th-pass certificate. The Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh has released Advertisement No. PGI/RC/053/2026/2192 for 60 Group A, B and C posts — 57 at the main Chandigarh campus and 3 at the PGI Satellite Centre, Sangrur. Online applications are open at pgimer.edu.in from 3 September and close on 19 October 2026.
The headline here is the 54 Multi Tasking Staff (Sanitation) Grade-III posts: Matriculation is the entire educational requirement, the pay is proper Level-1 government scale (₹18,000–56,900), and — unusually for hospital recruitment — selection for these posts is through a Computer Based Test only, with no interview.
• Online applications open: 3 September 2026
• Last date to apply: 19 October 2026
• Age reckoning date: 19 October 2026
• Exam date: to be announced on pgimer.edu.in

Note the split: all 57 Chandigarh posts are Group C; the 3 Sangrur posts are Group A (Medical Officer), Group B (Computer Programmer) and Group C (Pharmacist). Your exam centre, pay scale and selection stages all follow from which side of this split your post falls on.
Eligibility — What Each Post Needs
- MTS (Sanitation) Grade-III (54 posts): Matriculation (10th pass) with knowledge of sweeping, dusting and cleaning. That is the complete requirement — no experience, no diploma.
- Animal Attendant: Matriculation; ability to read and write Hindi/English/Punjabi, plus knowledge of cleaning and dusting.
- Barber: Matriculation with at least two years’ experience in the trade.
- Library Attendant Grade-I: Matriculation with Science, Diploma in Library Science, and one year of experience handling books and journals in a reputed library.
- Pharmacist Grade-II: Matriculation, Diploma in Pharmacy, and registration as a Pharmacist under the Pharmacy Act, 1948.
- Computer Programmer: Master’s in Statistics/Mathematics/Operation Research/Physics, OR Engineering/Computer Science degree with one year of experience, OR bachelor’s in Mathematics/Physics/Statistics with seven years of experience.
- Medical Officer: Medical qualification under the Indian Medical Council Act schedules, State Medical Council registration, and special training in Family Planning and educational methods.
Age: 18 to 30 years as on 19 October 2026 for all posts except Computer Programmer (18 to 35 years). Relaxation for reserved categories applies as per government rules.
Why the MTS Posts Deserve a Serious Look
2. No interview for Group C. Selection for the MTS and other Group B/C posts is on CBT performance alone; only the Group A Medical Officer faces an interview. For a 10th-pass candidate, a written-only selection removes the most subjective stage of the process.
3. Real pay scale, not consolidated wages. Level-1 (₹18,000–56,900) with government allowances is a different proposition from the fixed ₹15,000–20,000 contractual MTS jobs that dominate this segment.
Application Fee
| Category | Fee |
|---|---|
| General / OBC / EWS | ₹1,500 |
| SC / ST | ₹800 |
| PwBD | Exempted (nil) |
The fee is paid online only, through the application portal. PwBD candidates pay nothing — but still complete the registration; exemption is not automatic without submitting the form.
Selection Process — CBT Only (Except Medical Officer)
Every post begins with an online Computer Based Test. After that, the paths diverge:
- Medical Officer (Group A): CBT followed by an interview.
- All Group B and Group C posts (including all 54 MTS): selection on CBT performance — no interview.
The qualifying bar is 40% for General/EWS and 35% for SC/ST/OBC candidates (PwBD as per their category). Where shortlisting is needed, the board calls three times the vacancies (five times where a skill test applies), plus tied candidates. No TA/DA is paid for attending any stage.
The practical read: with 54 identical MTS posts and a single written test deciding everything, this is a preparation game, not a connection game. The syllabus and pattern will be in the official notification — read it before you start preparing, not after.
How to Apply Online
- Go to the official PGIMER website, pgimer.edu.in, and open the recruitment section.
- Locate Advertisement No. PGI/RC/053/2026/2192 and read the full notification — confirm your post’s eligibility, age cut-off and fee before registering.
- Select your post and complete the online registration with a working mobile number and email ID.
- Fill in personal, educational, category and experience details exactly as per your certificates.
- Upload your photograph, signature and supporting documents in the prescribed size and format.
- Pay the applicable fee online (₹1,500 / ₹800; PwBD exempt), review everything, and submit before 19 October 2026.
- Save and print the final submitted application — you will need it at every later stage.
Documents to Keep Ready
- Matriculation certificate (doubles as date-of-birth proof) plus all higher qualification certificates, diplomas and marksheets
- Experience certificates on official letterhead, where the post requires experience
- Caste/category certificate in the prescribed Central Government format (for reservation or relaxation claims)
- Pharmacist registration certificate (Pharmacist post) / State Medical Council registration (Medical Officer post)
- Recent passport-size photograph and a valid photo ID (Aadhaar, voter ID or PAN)
- Printout of the submitted online application
Mistakes That Cost Candidates This Recruitment
- Applying for the wrong location mentally. The MTS posts are at Chandigarh; the Medical Officer, Computer Programmer and Pharmacist posts are at Sangrur (Punjab). Posting preferences follow the advertisement, not your form.
- Missing the age cut-off date. Age is reckoned as on 19 October 2026, not 1 January — a subtle difference that decides eligibility for borderline candidates.
- Paying the wrong fee. Check your category before paying — ₹1,500 vs ₹800 vs nil — because the fee is tied to the category you claim.
- Waiting for the last day. The portal opened on 3 September; last-day server congestion on institutional portals is routine, and this one closes on 19 October with no extension promised.
- Skipping the notification. Post-wise experience wordings (Barber’s “two years in the trade”, Library Attendant’s “reputed library”) are verified at document stage — read the exact phrasing before you claim it.
