Medical and dental postgraduates, here is a faculty opening from a big Gujarat government employer. Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC) has invited online applications for 23 vacancies: 2 Associate Professor and 21 Assistant Professor posts, spread over 12 department slots. The pay matrix goes up to ₹2,17,100 for the senior post.
The online form opens on 30 November 2026 at 11:00 AM and closes on 14 December 2026 at 11:00 PM. The recruitment is direct and department-wise, and it also builds a waiting list. Note the hard-copy step after the online form.
SMC is the civic body of Surat, and this advertisement (No. P.R.O/319, dated 4 November 2026) fills regular vacant faculty posts through direct recruitment. A waiting list will also be prepared.

The advertisement does not print a category-wise (UR, SC, ST, OBC) split, so none is shown here. Every post is department-wise, so apply only for the department that matches your speciality. General Surgery (6 Assistant Professor seats) and General Medicine (5 seats) hold 11 of the 21 Assistant Professor posts. Associate Professor has just two seats, one in IHBT and one in General Surgery.
The qualification follows the NMC notification dated 30 June 2025 (“Teachers Eligibility Qualifications in Medical Institutions Regulations, 2025”) or any later amendment, as prevailing on the date of the interview. This is a medical and healthcare government job for postgraduates.
| Post and Department | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Associate Professor, IHBT | M.D. / DNB in IHBT (Immuno Haematology and Blood Transfusion) |
| Associate Professor, General Surgery | M.S. / D.N.B in General Surgery |
| Assistant Professor, Anatomy | M.D. / M.S. / DNB in Anatomy, or M.Sc (Medical Anatomy) with Ph.D in Medical Anatomy |
| Assistant Professor, IHBT | M.D. / DNB in IHBT |
| Assistant Professor, Forensic Medicine | M.D. / DNB in Forensic Medicine & Toxicology |
| Assistant Professor, General Medicine | M.D. / DNB in General Medicine |
| Assistant Professor, General Surgery | M.D. / DNB in General Surgery (as printed) |

If you are doing a teaching and faculty career in a medical college, check the latest NMC rules before you apply. The rule in force on the interview date is the one that counts.
The advertisement does not name a fixed number of years beyond the NMC rules. It does set strict proof rules for any experience you claim:
| Category | Age Rule |
|---|---|
| All candidates | No age limit or as-on date is printed |
| Women candidates | Relaxation as per prevailing Government rules |
No other category relaxation is stated in the advertisement. Check the detailed advertisement on the SMC website before you apply, and do not assume a relaxation that is not printed.
| Post | Pay Matrix | Pay Band and Grade Pay |
|---|---|---|
| Associate Professor | ₹1,31,400 – ₹2,17,100 | ₹37,400 – ₹67,000, AGP ₹9,000 |
| Assistant Professor | ₹68,900 – ₹2,05,500 | ₹15,600 – ₹39,100, AGP ₹7,000 |
The older pay scale is also printed: ₹12,000 – ₹18,300 for Associate Professor and ₹10,000 – ₹15,200 for Assistant Professor. Allowances are not described in the advertisement, so do not count on a number you have heard elsewhere. The gap between the two posts is large: the Associate Professor pay matrix starts at nearly double the Assistant Professor start. If you already have teaching experience in a medical college, check which post fits your experience certificate before you decide where to apply.
The final waiting list is prepared by a selection committee formed under SMC General Board Resolution No. 429/2021 dated 27 December 2021. It works on the criteria it fixes.
| Stage | Detail |
|---|---|
| Selection criteria | Fixed by the committee, depending on qualification and/or experience |
| Written / practical test / oral interview | May be held; given the number of applications, the Municipal Commissioner decides whether all candidates are called |
| Document Verification | Date to be published on the SMC website and sent by SMS |
Call letters go on the SMC website and by SMS to the mobile number in your application. Keep that number active until the recruitment is over. The advertisement gives no exam pattern or syllabus, so keep an eye on the syllabus page and the SMC website for updates. You must reach every verification, written, practical or oral venue at your own cost, and no allowance is paid. SMC may not call every applicant to the test or interview.
| Event | Date |
|---|---|
| Advertisement date | 4 November 2026 |
| Online application starts | 30 November 2026, 11:00 AM |
| Last date to apply online | 14 December 2026, 11:00 PM |
| Hard copy from SMC employees (proper channel) | Within 7 days after the online last date, in office hours |
| Document Verification | To be announced on the SMC website and by SMS |
Every candidate must apply online and pay the prescribed fee. The fee amount and any category-wise fee or exemption are not stated in the advertisement. Check the fee on the application form itself before you pay.
| Condition | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Fake or tampered documents | Your application is rejected, or your appointment is cancelled with immediate effect |
| Late employee applications | SMC employees whose proper-channel copy is late are liable to rejection |
| Cancellation by SMC | SMC may cancel or change the advertisement, fully or for any cadre, without giving reasons |
| CCC+ exam | You must pass it within 1 year of appointment, unless you already passed it or hold an equivalent degree or SMC training |
| Registration or licence | Where it is mandatory for the cadre, it must be valid on the date you apply |
| Trainee employees | If selected, an SMC trainee gets a fresh appointment |
Keep your age proof, marksheets, degree and registration certificates, experience certificate and PAN, Aadhaar and EPIC card copies ready. Women applying in the husband’s name need the marriage registration certificate or gazette. Disabled candidates need the disability certificate, and grade marksheets need the university’s percentage conversion.
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Open the official SMC website (link in Essential Links) from 30 November 2026 |
| 2 | Study the instructions, then fill the online application form |
| 3 | Pay the prescribed fee |
| 4 | Submit the form by 14 December 2026, 11:00 PM, and save a copy |
| 5 | Send the hard copy of your application with two attested copies of your documents to the Recruitment Department, Surat Municipal Corporation |
| 6 | SMC employees and trainees also apply online, then send the hard copy with the latest pay slip, approved by their department officer, through proper channel to the Central (Recruitment) Department |
The advertisement fixes the 7-day hard-copy window only for SMC employees and trainees. For everyone else it does not print a separate hard-copy date, so post your set soon after you submit the online form instead of waiting for the last day. Check the SMC website regularly, because call letters, the document verification date and any change to the advertisement are published there. Use an e-mail address and mobile number that you will still use until the recruitment is over, since SMC sends its messages to them.
If you hold the right postgraduate degree, prepare your papers now and apply by 14 December 2026, then post the hard copy without delay. Keep visiting GovtJobsAlert.in for more Gujarat government jobs and updates on this recruitment.
