AIIMS Bhubaneswar Senior Resident Recruitment 2026 – Apply

Department-Wise Vacancy Details

AIIMS Bhubaneswar Recruitment 2026 covers 83 Senior Resident (Non-Academic) vacancies spread across 34 departments, with both backlog and fresh category-wise splits as per Annexure-I of the official notification.
