Candidates wondering about qualification requirements will find that each post has a specific educational and registration requirement. Age is calculated as of January 1, 2026.

The selection process for NHM Balod 2026 is merit-based with marks assigned across three components. Candidates should understand how marks are distributed to prepare effectively. Step-by-Step Selection Process: Written/Academic Marks: Candidates are evaluated on the basis of qualifying marks from their academic certificates (scaled to the appropriate category above). Experience Weightage: Up to 20 marks are awarded for relevant work experience. Merit List Preparation: A combined merit list is prepared based on total marks. Document Verification: Shortlisted candidates must appear for document verification. Contract Appointment: Selected candidates are offered contractual appointments for the NHM period 2024-26. For equal marks between candidates, the older candidate is given preference. If age is also equal, the candidate with higher qualifying marks is ranked higher.

Candidates must enclose attested copies of the following with their application: Recent passport-size photograph (self-attested) 10th/12th mark sheets and certificates Degree/Diploma certificates relevant to the post applied for Professional registration certificate (for clinical posts like Nurse, Pharmacist, Doctor) Caste certificate (SC/ST/OBC) issued by a competent authority Chhattisgarh domicile certificate (if applicable) Date of birth proof (10th board certificate) Disability certificate (for Divyang candidates) Experience certificates (if applicable) Transaction receipt/proof of application fee payment

Even well-prepared candidates sometimes make avoidable errors in offline recruitment. Here are key pitfalls specific to NHM Balod 2026: 1. Sending the application without fee proof: The notification specifically states that the transaction receipt copy must be attached. Applications missing this will be rejected. 2. Applying for a post without the correct registration: Posts like Pharmacist, Staff Nurse, and Medical Officer require active, live registration with the respective council. Expired or not-yet-issued certificates are not accepted. 3. Calculating age from the wrong date: Age is counted as of January 1, 2026 - not the application date or notification date. 4. Submitting applications after 5:30 PM on the deadline: The cut-off is strict. Postal delays are not grounds for consideration; send well in advance. 5. Using incorrect UPI ID: The payment UPI ID is cmhobalod@idfcbank. Verify this carefully before completing payment - a wrong transfer cannot be claimed back. 6. Applying for multiple posts on a single form: Each post requires a separate application with a separate fee payment and separate fee receipt. 7. Not enclosing attested copies: All supporting documents must be self-attested. Unattested photocopies may lead to rejection at document verification.
