The Directorate of Medical Education and Research (DMER), Maharashtra, is finalizing the allotment process for mandatory bond service positions across the state. This drive is specifically for super-speciality degree holders (DM and MCh) from the Winter 2025 batch. As of today, March 27, 2026, the department is scheduled to publish the final selection list on its official portal. This follows the completion of the preference-filling window that closed on March 26.
According to the latest vacancy matrix released by the commissioner, a total of 215 positions have been identified to fulfill social responsibility obligations. These vacancies are strategically placed in government and municipal medical colleges to address the shortage of specialized healthcare providers. The majority of these roles are designated as Assistant Professor or Senior Resident positions.

The current allotment round focuses on placing specialists in tertiary care facilities where their expertise is most needed. This includes major institutes like Grant Government Medical College in Mumbai and various government colleges in Nagpur, Akola, and Sambhajinagar.
The table below provides a structured breakdown of the 215 available positions by designation:

Merit-Based Selection and Tie-Breaker Rules
The allotment process is strictly merit-based, utilizing the marks obtained by candidates in their super-speciality examinations. The DMER has established clear guidelines to handle situations where two or more candidates have identical scores. In such cases, the candidate with higher marks in their postgraduate (MD/MS) degree is prioritized. If the tie persists, marks from the final MBBS examination are considered, followed by the age of the candidate, where the older individual receives preference.
Eligible candidates include those who completed their DM or MCh from government-aided or corporation-run medical colleges in Maharashtra. Participation is a legal requirement under the bond agreement signed at the time of admission. Failure to participate or join the allotted post leads to the recovery of the penalty amount specified in the original bond.
Reporting and Joining Formalities
Once the selection list is released this evening, candidates must log in to the official portal to download their recommendation letters. The DMER has mandated a strict timeframe for joining. Candidates are generally expected to report to their allotted institutes within seven working days of the recommendation.
- Mandatory Documents: Original degree certificates, internship completion certificates, and valid registration with the Maharashtra Medical Council (MMC).
- Joining Report: Doctors must submit a formal joining report to the Dean or Medical Superintendent of the allotted hospital.
- Medical Fitness: A fitness certificate from the designated medical board is required at the time of joining.
The placement of these 215 specialists is a significant step in reinforcing the state’s medical infrastructure. Departments such as Cardiology, Neurology, and Nephrology are among the top priorities in this round to ensure specialized care reaches the public.
Conclusion The publication of the selection list today concludes the online phase of the Winter 2025 super-speciality bond service allotment in Maharashtra. With 215 specialists being deployed across government medical colleges, the state aims to maintain high standards of both clinical care and medical education. Candidates must act promptly to download their recommendation letters on March 28 and complete their joining formalities within the one-week deadline to avoid legal and financial penalties.
