Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between GNM and B.Sc. Nursing for this post?
Both a **Degree in Nursing (B.Sc. Nursing)** and a **Diploma in General Nursing and Midwifery (GNM)** are accepted qualifications for the Nursing Officer post at IGMCRI. Candidates with either qualification, provided they have valid registration with a State Nursing Council, are eligible to apply. The merit list for selection will be drawn from the common pool of all eligible candidates.
Is the selection process based on a written exam or academic marks?
The official notification states that a **Provisional Select List will be drawn from the overall merit list**. While the notification does not explicitly mention a written exam, recruitment for such large number of posts (226) in a Medical Institute often involves a **Written Test** to screen candidates, followed by the creation of a merit list. Candidates are strongly advised to refer to the **Official Notification PDF** for the final, definitive information on the exact method (e.g., Written Exam weightage, skill test) used to create the merit list.
What is the significance of the two-year wait list mentioned in the selection process?
A **Wait List** is created to ensure quick filling of vacancies that might arise shortly after the main selection process is complete. The IGMCRI wait list has a validity of **two years**. It will be used to offer posts to candidates in the order of merit if a selected candidate is rejected (due to document failure), doesn't join, resigns, or dies within one year of joining. This prevents the need for a new, immediate recruitment drive for sudden vacancies.
