The Directorate of Medical Education and Research (DMER), Maharashtra, has officially initiated the central round of online application and allotment for government bond service. This process is mandatory for super-speciality degree holders from the Winter 2025 batch who completed their DM or MCh programs from government or government-aided institutes. According to the official notice released by the commissioner, a total of 215 vacancies have been identified across various medical colleges and health centers in the state to fulfill social responsibility obligations.
The allotment process is designed to place highly qualified medical professionals in positions where their expertise is most needed. Candidates are ranked based on a multi-level merit system, primarily focusing on the marks obtained in their super-speciality examinations. The DMER has emphasized that any eligible candidate who fails to participate in this online process will be considered as refusing bond service, which will trigger the recovery of the bond penalty amount.
Vacancy Distribution and Designation Categories
The 215 vacant positions are categorized into three primary designations: Assistant Professor, Senior Resident, and Super Speciality Medical Officer. The majority of these vacancies are for the post of Assistant Professor, which is essential for maintaining the teaching standards in state-run medical colleges. These positions are distributed across premier institutions including Grant Government Medical College in Mumbai and Government Medical Colleges in Nagpur and Akola.
The vacancy matrix provides a detailed breakdown by specialty and institute, ensuring transparency in the placement process. Clinical branches such as Cardiology, Neurology, and Nephrology have been prioritized to address the shortage of specialized care in government facilities. Candidates must use their login credentials on the official DMER bond portal to view the specific vacancies available for their particular specialty.
| Designation Category | Total Vacancies |
| Assistant Professor (Super Speciality) | 123 |
| Senior Resident (Super Speciality) | 91 |
| Super Speciality Medical Officer | 01 |
| Total Available Positions | 215 |
Allotment Schedule and Merit Criteria
The DMER has established a strict timeline for the Winter 2025 batch. Following the initial application phase that concluded recently, the merit list was declared today, March 24, 2026. Candidates are now entering the preference-filling stage, which is a critical window for selecting their desired locations. The final selection list, which includes the official recommendation letters, is expected to be published on the portal by the evening of March 27.
The merit list preparation follows a four-level tie-breaker rule. The first level considers the highest marks in the DM/MCh examination. If a tie persists, marks from the final MD/MS examination are reviewed, followed by the aggregate marks from the final MBBS (Part I & II). If all academic scores are equal, the older candidate is given preference. This ensures a fair and objective placement for all 215 aspirants.
