Official Notification and Last Date Extension
The original advertisement was issued on 19 October 2026. The earlier application deadline was 8 November 2026. A corrigendum dated 6 November extended the last date to 15 November 2026.
- Open the original Specialist Doctor recruitment notice
- Open the official last-date extension corrigendum
- Open the online application form listed with the recruitment notice
The accessible corrigendum listing confirms 15 November but does not show a revised closing hour. The original 6 PM time applied to the earlier 8 November deadline; do not assume that the same time applies to the extended date. Submit well before the end of 15 November and check the form for any closure message.
Post-Wise Vacancies and Reported Remuneration
The following four specialty categories and remuneration figures are reproduced by multiple recruitment pages citing the same advertisement. The original PDF could not be opened in this check, so confirm the figures and the pay period with the Directorate before relying on them.
| Post | Reported vacancies | Reported qualification | Reported remuneration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cardiologist | 1 | MD (Medicine) with DM (Cardiology) or DNB (Cardiology) | ₹5,00,000 |
| Neurologist | 1 | MD (Medicine) with DM (Neurology) or DNB (Neurology) | ₹4,00,000 |
| Physician | 1 — anticipated vacancy | MD/DNB (Medicine) | ₹2,00,000 |
| Radiologist | 1 — anticipated vacancy | MD/DNB in Radio-diagnosis or Radiology | ₹3,25,000 |
Recruitment pages generally describe these amounts as monthly remuneration, while another listing notes that the advertisement’s pay period should be confirmed from the notice. For that reason, the figures above are labelled as reported amounts, not independently verified monthly salary guarantees.
Anticipated vacancies: The Physician and Radiologist positions are reported as anticipated vacancies. An anticipated vacancy may not be available for appointment if the post does not fall vacant. Applicants for these two specialties should confirm the current vacancy position with DHS.
Eligibility and Educational Qualification
The reported specialist qualifications are listed in the vacancy table. Candidates should ensure that their postgraduate and super-specialty credentials match the specialty they select. The accessible official listing does not provide a separate age limit, experience requirement or registration checklist. Check the original advertisement for any additional conditions, including medical registration and required experience.
Application Fee and Age Limit
The official notice listing available in this check does not specify an age limit or an application fee. Some recruitment pages reproducing the advertisement also report that neither is prescribed. Because the PDF attachment could not be retrieved, candidates should verify these conditions from the original advertisement. Do not pay any agent or intermediary; use only the official application route.
Selection Process
The recruitment is reported to use application screening followed by an interview. The interview date and online meeting link are to be communicated to candidates through their registered email address or mobile number. No written examination schedule was listed in the accessible official announcement.
Keep the email address and mobile number used in the application active. Check spam/junk folders as well as the inbox for interview communication. Do not treat submission of the form as a selection or interview guarantee.

Source and Verification Note
This article was updated on 14 November 2026 using the Lakshadweep Administration’s original recruitment notice page and last-date corrigendum, together with multiple recruitment pages reproducing Advertisement F.No.73/22/2021-DHS(STAT). The official PDF attachments did not load during this check. Vacancy distribution, qualifications, remuneration, tenure, fee and age details are therefore clearly identified as reported details requiring confirmation from the original notice.
