Notification Date (Start Date): 06-November-2025.
Last Date / Walk-in Interview Date: 18-November-2025.\
Eligibility Criteria (Typical / inferred)
While the full detailed advertisement for exactly 91 posts is not publicly summarised in the sources I found, we can infer from past LNH Senior-Resident notifications the likely criteria as follows:
Educational Qualification
MBBS qualification + Postgraduate Degree (MD/MS/DNB) or equivalent “recognized” super-specialty qualification in the relevant specialty. Past LNH adverts state: MBBS with PG Degree/DNB/PG Diploma in concerned subject.
Registration with the appropriate Medical Council (State/National) at the time of interview.
For non-medical specialties (if applicable) there may be M.Sc/PhD etc but typical SR posts are clinical branches.
Age Limit
Previous notifications at LNH set maximum age at 45 years for Senior Resident posts.
Age relaxation as per Government of Delhi / reservation rules would apply.
Tenure / Service Conditions
Senior Residents at LNH are often appointed on Ad-hoc basis or tenure of 1 year extendable up to 3 years depending on rules. (e.g., other Delhi-Govt hospital SR posts: “on ad-hoc basis for period 1 year extendable up to 3 years” etc).
The post may carry teaching responsibility (since LNH is a teaching hospital) as Senior Residents often are involved in clinical duties + postgraduate teaching.
Pay Scale / Salary
From recent data: Senior Residents at LNH have been offered a pay scale ~ ₹ 67,700 – ₹ 2,08,700/- per month (Level 11 in the Pay Matrix) for clinical specialists.
According to salary information on Glassdoor: Senior Resident at LNH earns approx ₹ 85,000-1,00,000/month on average.
Additional allowances (night duties, on-call, etc) may apply as per Delhi Government rules.
Departmental/ Vacancy Distribution**
The advertisement for 91 posts will likely span multiple specialties: medicine, surgery, orthopaedics, anaesthesia, paediatrics, radiology, obstetrics & gynaecology, emergency medicine, etc. (Based on previous larger vacancy advertisements at LNH where 118 posts were distributed across specialties)
Candidates should look at the department-wise “post code” list in the official advertisement to identify exactly which specialty(s) they are eligible for.
Reservation norms (SC/ST/OBC/EWS/PwBD) will apply as per Government of Delhi rules.
Application Process & Important Instructions
Candidates should download the official notification PDF from the LNH website (Recruitment/Notices section) to get full details of eligibility, vacancy list, post codes, application venue, date & time, required documents.
Prepare all required documents: MBBS degree, PG degree/diploma certificate, DNB if applicable, Medical Council registration certificate, internship completion certificate, caste/EWS/PwBD certificate if applicable, identity proof, passport-size photos, CV/resume.
Since this is likely a walk-in interview / online registration + interview, candidates need to reach the venue by the stipulated time on the given date with original + self-attested copies of certificates. (Past LNH adverts show “report at office between 9:30-10:30 AM” etc)
Read carefully the “terms & conditions” section: tenure length, extension criteria, posting location, night duty expectations, teaching responsibilities, biometrics or video recording etc.
Check for any corrigendum or amendment to the advertisement (alteration of number of vacancies, specialties, date, criteria) on the official website. LNH’s Recruitment page regularly shows such updates.
Important Points and Tips for Applicants
Make sure your PG qualification is recognised by the respective National/State Medical Council and your registration is valid.
Ensure you strictly meet the age limit and category criteria (if applying under SC/OBC/EWS/PwBD). Late/incorrect certificate submission can disqualify.
Because the pool of applicants for Senior Resident posts is competitive (especially in Delhi Government hospitals), ensure your CV highlights: postgraduate qualification, publications (if any), teaching or research experience, clinical / emergency duty experience.
For teaching hospitals like LNH, previous teaching exposure (during residency) may be favourable.
Prepare for interview: The interview often assesses clinical expertise in your specialty, ability to work in a large tertiary hospital setting (emergency/trauma load), teaching potential (if required), handling night duties, coordination with teams.
Since LNH is a high-volume hospital with patients from Delhi and neighbouring states, readiness for high workload is essential.
Arriving well ahead of time and carrying all documents in organised order will help avoid last-minute hiccups.
Since the tenure may be initially short (1 year or ad-hoc) with extension depending on performance, have clarity on what the criteria for extension are (e.g., duty hours, teaching assignments, research/publication, departmental appraisal).
If you are applying for a specified specialty, verify on the post code sheet that your specialty and qualification exactly match the requirement (some posts may be for PG Diploma, some for DNB, some for MD/MS etc).
