ONGC Medical Officer Recruitment 2026: 24 Posts, Eligibility, Salary and Application Details
The Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC) has announced a recruitment drive for medical professionals, offering 24 fixed-term positions across Occupational Health, hospital-based specialist services and Homeopathy. The recruitment has been notified under Advertisement No. 3/2026 (R&P) and provides opportunities for candidates with qualifications including MBBS, MD, MS, DNB, postgraduate diplomas and BHMS, depending on the post.
The online registration window opened on August 5, 2026, and candidates can submit applications until August 18, 2026, at 11:59 PM. With the deadline approaching, eligible doctors should carefully check the post-specific qualifications and application conditions before applying.
ONGC Medical Officer Recruitment 2026: 24 Vacancies
The 24 vacancies are divided into four broad categories:
Medical Officer – Occupational Health (MO-OH): 14 posts
Specialist – Dehradun Hospital: 3 posts
Specialist – Sivasagar Hospital: 5 posts
Medical Officer – Homeopathy: 2 posts
The positions are offered on a fixed-term, full-time basis, with the engagement continuing up to June 30, 2028, subject to the terms of the recruitment. This is therefore a contractual opportunity and should not be confused with permanent regular employment in ONGC.
Medical Officer – Occupational Health: 14 Posts
The largest category consists of 14 Medical Officer – Occupational Health positions.
Candidates applying for these posts need an MBBS degree from a recognised institution. ONGC has indicated preference for candidates who have training in Occupational Health, Public Health or Occupational Medicine.
The posts are spread across several ONGC locations, including locations in Uttarakhand, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Tripura and Assam. The location-wise distribution includes Dehradun, Ahmedabad, Ankleshwar, Baroda, Dahej, Cambay, Mehsana, Uran, Kakinada, Rajahmundry, Karaikal, Agartala, Jorhat and Sivasagar.
For this category, the annual CTC is ₹12 lakh in the first year, increasing to ₹12.18 lakh in the second year.
The Occupational Health role can be particularly relevant for MBBS doctors interested in workplace health, preventive medicine and healthcare services associated with industrial operations.
Specialist Posts at Dehradun Hospital
ONGC has announced three specialist positions for its Dehradun Hospital.
The vacancies are:
Physician – 1 post
Paediatrics – 1 post
Surgery – 1 post
Candidates applying for these positions need an MD/MS qualification in the relevant specialty from a recognised university.
The annual CTC for eligible specialist doctors is ₹15.60 lakh during the first year and ₹15.852 lakh during the second year.
These posts provide an opportunity for postgraduate medical specialists to work in an institutional healthcare setting within a major public-sector energy organisation.
Specialist Posts at Sivasagar Hospital
A further five specialist positions are available at ONGC’s Sivasagar Hospital in Assam.
The specialty-wise distribution is:
Anaesthesia – 1 post
Obstetrics & Gynaecology – 1 post
Physician – 2 posts
Surgery – 1 post
For these positions, candidates may be eligible with MD/MS/DNB or a relevant postgraduate diploma, depending on the specialty and the specific conditions in the notification.
Doctors holding MD, MS or DNB qualifications are offered an annual CTC of ₹15.60 lakh in the first year and ₹15.852 lakh in the second year.
Candidates holding a relevant postgraduate diploma can also be eligible for specified Sivasagar specialist posts, but the CTC is lower: ₹13.20 lakh in the first year and ₹13.416 lakh in the second year.
Medical Officer – Homeopathy
The recruitment also includes two Medical Officer – Homeopathy positions.
Candidates need a BHMS degree from a recognised university or institution. The vacancies are located at Sivasagar and Dehradun.
The annual CTC for these positions is ₹7.80 lakh in the first year, increasing to ₹7.896 lakh in the second year.
This makes the recruitment relevant not only to allopathic doctors but also to qualified homeopathic medical professionals.
No Maximum Age Limit
One notable feature of this ONGC recruitment is that the notification does not prescribe a maximum age limit for applying to these medical positions.
However, candidates must possess the prescribed educational qualification and the required valid registration with the relevant statutory authority on the date of interview. MBBS, MD, MS and other applicable qualifications must meet the relevant medical regulatory requirements.
The absence of a maximum age limit makes this recruitment particularly different from many conventional government medical vacancies, where applicants are often subject to strict upper-age criteria.
Candidates should nevertheless check all other eligibility conditions before applying.
Selection Process
The selection process is primarily based on the candidate’s qualifications and performance in the interview.
For most posts, the selection carries a total of 100 marks:
Qualification: 70 marks
Interview: 30 marks
The qualification component includes marks for the essential qualification along with applicable weightage for higher relevant qualifications. The interview then contributes the remaining 30 marks.
The reported minimum qualifying marks in the interview are 18 marks for UR/EWS/OBC candidates and 12 marks for SC/ST candidates.
Candidates who qualify are placed in the merit list based on their combined score. Appointment is then offered according to merit and the applicable recruitment conditions.
Selected candidates must also clear the required ONGC medical examination.
For the Homeopathy category, if the number of eligible candidates is high, shortlisting can be carried out before the interview. The reported shortlisting ratio is up to 1:10, based on qualification-related marks.
Application Process
The registration process is online and is open from August 5 to August 18, 2026, until 11:59 PM.
Candidates are required to register through the ONGC recruitment system and select only one post-location combination according to their eligibility.
If a candidate submits more than one application, the recruitment information states that only the latest application will be considered.
Applicants should keep their documents ready before starting the registration process. These can include:
Recent passport-size photograph
Photo identity proof
Class 10 certificate showing date of birth
MBBS/BHMS marksheets and degree certificate
PG degree or diploma certificates, where applicable
DNB certificate, where applicable
Occupational/Public Health/Occupational Medicine training certificate, where applicable
Proof of additional relevant qualifications
Valid medical registration documents
Document verification and the interview are conducted in person, and candidates are informed about the schedule through the registered email address. No TA/DA is payable for attending the interview.
Nature of Employment and Benefits
The ONGC positions are fixed-term engagements, not permanent appointments. The engagement is scheduled to continue up to June 30, 2028, beginning from the candidate’s date of joining.
The annual CTC is inclusive of applicable statutory benefits such as PF and gratuity, according to the recruitment information. The contract may be terminated by either side by giving the prescribed notice, and there is no automatic claim for regular employment in ONGC after the fixed-term engagement ends.
The recruitment information also mentions medical facilities for the doctor, spouse and two immediate dependents, along with provisions relating to family health insurance coverage, subject to applicable conditions.
Candidates should therefore understand the difference between CTC and take-home salary. The advertised annual CTC is not the same as the amount that will necessarily be credited to a candidate’s bank account each month.

Final Takeaway
The ONGC Medical Officer Recruitment 2026 offers 24 fixed-term opportunities for qualified medical professionals. The vacancies include 14 Occupational Health Medical Officer posts, 8 specialist positions across Dehradun and Sivasagar Hospitals, and 2 Homeopathy Medical Officer posts.
For MBBS doctors, the Occupational Health category offers an annual CTC of ₹12 lakh in the first year, while eligible specialists can receive up to ₹15.60 lakh annually in the first year. BHMS candidates can apply for the two Homeopathy positions carrying an annual CTC of ₹7.80 lakh in the first year.
The recruitment stands out because there is no maximum age limit, while selection is based mainly on qualification and interview performance. However, candidates should remember that these are fixed-term positions, not permanent ONGC appointments.
With the application deadline set for August 18, 2026, eligible candidates should carefully read ONGC Advertisement No. 3/2026 (R&P), verify their qualification and registration status, select the correct post-location combination and submit their application before the closing time. The official ONGC website should be treated as the final authority for any correction, addendum or change to the recruitment schedule.
