The state govt will undertake large-scale recruitment for teaching and technical positions in govt medical colleges in 2026. The recruitment will be carried out for the posts of assistant professor, professor, and lecturer (pharmacy) in govt medical colleges. Through this initiative, around 1,200 candidates will receive govt jobs. This move will not only generate employment for youth but also further strengthen the state's medical education system.

Meanwhile, the Yogi govt will soon distribute appointment letters to 1,230 nursing officers (female and male) selected through the Public Service Commission, Prayagraj.

Additional chief secretary, health and medical education, Amit Kumar Ghosh said that CM Yogi Adityanath directed that vacant posts in the department be filled to ensure maximum employment opportunities for the youth of the state. Accordingly, requisitions for recruitment to the posts of assistant professor, professor, and lecturer (pharmacy) in govt medical colleges were sent to the Public Service Commission, Prayagraj, for selection. He informed that advertisements for these posts will be issued soon. Recruitment will be conducted for nearly 1,200 posts in govt medical colleges, including 1,112 assistant professor posts, 44 professor posts, and 11 lecturer (pharmacy) posts.

He said a major step was also taken to strengthen the nursing cadre.

The CM has clearly instructed that medical education in state should not be limited merely to awarding degrees but should be linked with quality, research, and practical training. In line with this vision, the state witnessed a historic increase in number of medical colleges over the past nearly 9 years.
