Multi Rehabilitation Worker needs a physiotherapy bachelor's degree and two years of hospital experience, while the supervisor posts need graduation with a laboratory technology or science qualification, plus a permanent two-wheeler licence.

Age limits are counted as on 1 January 2026 and vary by post.

The notice does not mention age relaxation for the two supervisor posts.

How selection works for the Purba Medinipur posts

Candidates are ranked under each post's scale of scoring, with academic marks in proportion to the percentage obtained. Medical Officer-AYUSH and Pharmacist posts each carry 100 marks across class 10, class 12, the qualifying degree or diploma, and additional marks for higher qualifications in the field. Public Health Manager posts carry 100 marks, including a 15-mark computer test and 10 marks for experience. Block Data Manager posts carry 100 marks, of which the computer component is worth 70.

Staff Nurse and Community Health Assistant (Urban) posts are scored on academic marks alone, at 100 marks each. Multi Rehabilitation Worker posts carry 50 marks across academics, experience, and interview, while the two supervisor posts carry 50 marks across academics, experience, and a computer test. Proportionate marking runs to two decimal points, original testimonials are verified, and candidates must go through every stage: the notice says a candidate who skips any stage will be disqualified immediately. Interview and shortlisting details will be published on wbhealth.gov.in and purbamedinipur.gov.in; no interview date has been announced yet.
