The SahisarkariJobs.in Analyst's Take – Is This Job for You?

This is a Job Trainee engagement under the 2025 Scheme for 43 Radiographer posts split across two departments (19 in Health & Family Welfare, 24 in Medical Education & Research). The single-stage 120-mark CBT/written screening test decides the merit list after normalisation if multiple shifts are used; qualifying marks start at 45% (General) and 40% (SC/ST/OBC/WFF) and may drop by up to 5 percentage points if too few candidates qualify. Document verification follows, and a category-wise waiting panel (25% of posts subject to a minimum of two candidates when posts are up to 25) remains valid for one year from the date of recommendation. With applications opening in nine days and closing on 7 December 2026, the window is fixed once the portal link is live.

Best fit: Candidates who already hold 10+2 Science, one of the listed B.Sc. or Bachelor degrees in Radiology/Imaging/Radiation Technology, and current registration with the Himachal Pradesh Para Medical Council (now State Allied Health Care Council), and who can produce the HP schooling certificates or Bonafide Himachali status.

Skip it if you do not yet have the council registration or if the Matric/10+2 schooling condition (except for Bonafide Himachalis) is a barrier, because those are essential on the closing date.

Practical tip: Complete the One Time Registration on the HPRCA portal well before 12 November 2026 so the ORA can be submitted without delay once the link opens, and keep category certificates valid through document verification.
