DME Telangana Recruitment 2026 – Apply for 240 TIMS Sanathnagar Contract Posts

The Director of Medical Education (DME), Telangana has opened a fresh recruitment drive for 240 contract and honorarium-based posts at TIMS, Sanathnagar, Hyderabad. This Government Jobs notification covers Medical Officer, Pharmacist, Lab Technician, Medico Social Worker and Junior Assistant roles. Unlike most recruitment drives on this site, there's no online application here — forms go in physically over just two days. Here's a full breakdown of eligibility, the merit-based selection method, and exactly how to apply before you run out of time.

About the Directorate of Medical Education, Telangana

The Directorate of Medical Education (DME) runs the state's medical colleges, teaching hospitals and allied health training centres, and TIMS Sanathnagar falls under its administrative control. Because this hiring round is meant to fill day-to-day staffing gaps at a working hospital rather than follow a long exam cycle, the process is quicker than a typical government recruitment — but that speed comes at the cost of job security, since every post here is contractual with a fixed end date.

DME Telangana TIMS Sanathnagar Recruitment 2026 – Overview

Important Dates

This drive runs on a tight, fixed schedule — barely two weeks from notification to final merit list — so it's worth marking every date below rather than just the last date to apply.

Vacancy Details / Post-Wise Break-up

Medical Officer accounts for the bulk of this drive at 144 posts, with the remaining 96 spread across allied health and administrative roles.

Eligibility Criteria

Educational Qualification (Post-Wise)

Each post carries its own distinct qualification, so check the row that applies to you carefully before you start filling the form.

One practical note for Lab Technician applicants: if you hold both a DMLT and a B.Sc (MLT), only the higher of the two percentages gets counted for merit — you don't get credit for both.

Age Limit

The notification sets an upper age cap only for the Allied Health, Administrative and Support Staff posts — Medical Officer applicants aren't given a stated age ceiling in this particular notice.

Salary Details

This is one place the short notification stays vague: it confirms that selected candidates get a consolidated monthly remuneration fixed under G.O. Ms. No. 49, Finance (HRM-VII) Department dated 21 May 2026, but it doesn't print the actual post-wise figures in the text available. The pay is also subject to TDS and other statutory deductions. If the exact amount matters to your decision to apply, it's worth checking the G.O. directly or calling the DME office before the last date.

Selection Process

There's no written exam in this recruitment — selection runs purely on a weighted merit score, split between your qualifying marks and your prior government experience.

• 70% weightage for marks in the qualifying educational exam
• 30% weightage for prior contract/outsourcing experience in government institutions (2.5 points per completed 6 months in a tribal area, 2 points per completed 6 months elsewhere)
• Provisional merit list, followed by an objection window
• Original certificate verification
• Final merit list

Reservation rules apply across all categories, and only fully completed 6-month blocks of service count toward the experience score — part-months are dropped.

Application Fee

The notification does not specify any application fee for these posts — there's no fee table or payment step mentioned anywhere in the notice or the application form.

Required Documents

Keep attested photocopies of everything below ready — the notification is explicit that incomplete applications get rejected outright.

• Filled-in application form with a recent self-attested photograph
• Aadhar Card and PAN Card
• Date of Birth proof (SSC certificate/Birth certificate)
• Study/Bonafide certificates from 1st to 7th class
• MBBS degree or the relevant post-specific degree/diploma, with marks memo
• Telangana State Medical Council registration (mandatory for Medical Officer; applications without it are rejected)
• Experience certificate(s) in the prescribed Annexure 1-B/1-C format, signed by a competent authority
• Community certificate and Physically Handicapped certificate, where applicable

How to Apply

1. Download the application form from dme.telangana.gov.in.
2. Fill it out by hand in block letters and paste a recent self-attested photograph.
3. Attach one set of attested photocopies of every document listed above.
4. Carry your original certificates as well — they're checked on the spot.
5. Submit the form in person on 21 or 22 July 2026 at the Office of the Principal, Osmania Medical College, Hyderabad.
6. There is no postal or online submission option — hand delivery only, and late arrivals are rejected regardless of the reason.

Important Instructions

• This is a purely temporary, contract/honorarium appointment up to 31 March 2027 (or earlier) — it does not create any right to a future regular government job.
• Junior Assistant posts give preference to local candidates from Hyderabad district; other candidates are considered only if local candidates aren't available.
• If you're already working elsewhere, you'll need to submit a relieving order — without it, your selection stands cancelled.
• Candidates currently on contract in the same cadre at another Telangana Government Medical College are not eligible to apply.
• Non-local Medical Officer candidates get one week after selection to complete Telangana Medical Council registration, or the appointment isn't confirmed.
• The contract can be terminated at any time without a reason; you, as the employee, can also exit with one month's notice.
• Selected staff get 15 days of cumulative leave per calendar year.

Why Should You Apply?

With 240 posts open at once, this is a genuinely large single-notification drive, and the merit-based process (no written exam) means it moves fast — useful if you need a placement quickly rather than waiting out a months-long exam cycle. It particularly suits candidates who already have prior contract or outsourcing experience in government hospitals, since that experience directly adds to your merit score here. That said, treat it as what it is: a fixed-term contract role, not a path to permanent government employment, so weigh that against your longer-term plans before applying.

Final Words
