Manipur Public Service Commission has opened a regular Group-A dental cadre intake for the Health Department, Government of Manipur, rather than a walk-in contract list. Advertisement No. 04/2026 dated 23 September 2026 seeks 13 Dental Surgeon posts in Manipur Health Service Grade-IV (GCS Class-I).
Online applications run only on empsconline.gov.in from 28 September 2026 to 18 October 2026, closing at 11:59 PM. Pay is Level-12 (₹53,100–1,67,800) with a two-year probation.
The hard filters sit up front: a recognised BDS listed in the First or Third Schedule to the Indian Dentists Act, 1948, State Dental Council registration, spoken Manipuri (Meetei/Meitei Lon) or a recognised tribal dialect of Manipur, and Permanent Resident Certificate of Manipur (or documented direct-lineage proof). Domicile papers will not do.
⚠️ Application Alerts

What Is the Dental Surgeon Salary in Manipur?
The notice fixes Level-12, ₹53,100–1,67,800 on the Manipur pay matrix (GCS Class-I, Group-A). That rupee band matches the central 7th CPC Level-9 figures. It is not the central Level-12 (₹78,800 basic).
| Component | Illustrative monthly figure |
|---|---|
| Basic (entry cell) | ₹53,100 |
| DA at ~55% of basic (current central DA used only as a working rate) | ~₹29,205 |
| HRA | Depends on the notified station class in Manipur; not printed in this advertisement |
| Gross before deductions | Roughly ₹82,000–₹93,000 if HRA is 10–20% of basic |
| Indicative in-hand | About ₹75,000–₹88,000/month after usual deductions |
This is an illustrative estimate, not an appointment-letter figure. Manipur DA and HRA orders, station class, and any NPS/GPF deduction will decide the actual credit. NPS or old pension is not specified in this notice. Confirm from the joining order.
Model a Level-style slip on the 7th CPC Salary Calculator. Use the conversion method in Manipur pay rules. This calculator is only an indicative estimate.
What Is the Application Fee?
| Category | Fee |
|---|---|
| General and OBC | ₹600 |
| SC and ST | ₹400 |
| DAP / Differently Abled Persons | Exempt |
Pay only through net banking, VISA, MasterCard or debit card on www.empsconline.gov.in. Any other mode is invalid. Fee once paid is not refunded and cannot be reserved for another exam. A form without the prescribed fee is rejected.
How to Apply?
Applications are accepted only on the eMPSC portal. Paper, email or walk-in forms are not entertained.
- From 28 September 2026, open eMPSC Online – apply for MPSC Dental Surgeon 2026 (window closes 18 October 2026, 11:59 PM).
- Register/log in and select Advt. No. 04/2026, Dental Surgeon (MHS Grade-IV).

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Uploading a domicile certificate instead of PRC. The notice rejects domicile and other residential certificates.
- Applying with a BDS or council registration dated after 23 September 2026. Possession is tested as of the advertisement date.
- Skipping State Dental Council registration among the uploads. Incomplete files are liable to rejection with no later representation.
- Serving staff submitting without a department NOC. The notice requires the certificate to be uploaded with the form.
- PwBD applicants choosing a disability group that this post has not identified (only D, HH, compatible SLD, and MD of those groups are named).

How Are Dental Surgeons Selected?
Selection is in two stages, then document checks. Written marks alone do not equal an appointment.
- Written examination – 85 marks (85 MCQs, 2 hours; duration may change if experts advise, with prior notice)
- Interview/viva voce – 15 marks (Board with subject expert; notice heading also calls this “Viva Voce and Physical Interview,” meaning an in-person interview, not a running/PET test)
- Document verification and eligibility re-check
- Final merit on written + interview out of 100, subject to reservation and the Commission’s eligibility decision
Interview call is three times the number of posts in each category. Candidates tied with the last shortlisted written score are also called.
Tie-break (printed): higher written marks first; if still tied, the older candidate ranks higher.
Penalty: +1 for a correct answer; 0.33 mark deducted for each wrong answer.

| Sl. | Group | Subject | MCQs |

The notice says a detailed syllabus is enclosed as Annexure-I. That annexure is not inside the 3-page scanned PDF hosted on the MPSC site. Use the subject list above until MPSC issues a fuller syllabus note.
Written exam schedule and venue will be notified later. Expect an Imphal-centred MPSC exam unless a later notice says otherwise.
Why Does MPSC Manipur Matter?
Manipur Public Service Commission is the state constitutional body that recruits to Manipur’s civil and departmental cadres under Article 315. This advertisement fills Dental Surgeon seats in Manipur Health Service Grade-IV for the Health Department, Government of Manipur.
Grade-IV dental officers work in district hospitals, CHCs and dental units that deliver public oral-health care across the valley and the hill districts. The role is clinical public service, not a standalone teaching-college chair.
Candidates search this page for “MPSC Dental Surgeon 2026”, “Manipur BDS government job”, “MHS Grade-IV”, and the Imphal apply portal. They also want a regular Group-A health post with Level-12 pay after years of contractual dental hiring in the state.
The downside for outsiders is structural: PRC plus Meiteilon or a tribal dialect is a gate, not a slogan. A BDS graduate from another state without lineage papers is not in this pool. Browse more Manipur government jobs and public healthcare recruitments.
The SahisarkariJobs.in Analyst’s Take
This is a small, state-locked Group-A clinical intake. The closest tab a Manipur BDS holder already has open is another North-East PSC health-cadre notice or a central CHS / institute dental advertisement. Those all-India routes test a wider field and do not demand Manipuri or a Manipur PRC. MPSC trades that wider field for a local cadre seat and a Level-12 state matrix.
Best fit: a registered BDS who already holds PRC, speaks Meiteilon or a hill dialect, and wants a regular Manipur Health Service uniform rather than another short contract. ST candidates should treat the 4-seat ST column as the realistic reserved path.

Skip this if you cannot document residence or lineage, cannot meet the language line, or you want a transferable all-India dental posting. Also skip if you will not sit a negatively marked 85-question paper for 13 seats.
Practical tip: Before 28 September 2026, scan PRC, State Dental Council registration, BDS degree and Class X/XII as they stood on 23 September 2026. The portal will not wait for a council receipt that arrives in October.
What Documents Are Required?
Upload at the time of online application:
- Class X marksheet and certificate
- Class XII marksheet and certificate
- BDS marksheet and degree certificate
- Experience certificate, if any
- State Dental Council registration certificate
- Category certificate (ST/SC/OBC etc.), if claimed
- No Objection Certificate, if serving
- Permanent Resident Certificate (PRC)
Domicile certificates and other residential certificates shall not be accepted. Applications with incomplete documents are liable to be rejected. The Commission will not entertain representations on missing uploads.
What Happens After Selection?
- MPSC publishes the written result and calls about three times the vacancies per category for interview.
- You attend the viva with original PRC, council registration, BDS papers and category certificates.
- Combined written + interview merit is drawn; ties go first to higher written marks, then to older age.
- The Health Department issues the offer for MHS Grade-IV after the Commission forwards the list.
- You join on two-year probation as GCS Class-I (Group-A) at the station allotted by the department.
- Confirmation depends on satisfactory probation. Cadre posting inside Manipur is a department decision; the notice does not promise Imphal-only postings.
Place of posting, private-practice permission, and pension scheme are not specified in this notice. Read the appointment order.

FAQs – MPSC Dental Surgeon 2026
What is the last date to apply for MPSC Dental Surgeon 2026?
18 October 2026, 11:59 PM on empsconline.gov.in. The form link is disabled after that time. No extension is printed in the Advt. No. 04/2026 as of 24 September 2026.
What is the age limit for MPSC Dental Surgeon?
21 to 38 years as of 23 September 2026 for UR. The notice provides +5 years for SC/ST, +3 for OBC, +10 for DAP, and cumulative relief when both apply. It also says there is no age relaxation where there is no reservation. Check both lines in the PDF.
Is there an exam for MPSC Dental Surgeon, or is it interview-based?
Yes. There is an 85-mark written MCQ paper (2 hours, 0.33 negative marking) and a 15-mark interview. About three times the number of posts per category are called for viva. Final merit is written plus interview out of 100.
What is the salary of MPSC Dental Surgeon?
Level-12 on the Manipur matrix: basic ₹53,100, scale ₹53,100–1,67,800. An illustrative in-hand range is about ₹75,000–₹88,000 a month once DA and station HRA are added. NPS and exact HRA class are not printed in this notice.
Can final-year students or result-awaited candidates apply for MPSC 2026?
No. Every required certificate, including BDS and State Dental Council registration, must be in possession as on 23 September 2026. A later result will not meet that cut-off.
Is MPSC Dental Surgeon a permanent government job?
Yes, this is a regular Manipur Health Service Grade-IV, GCS Class-I (Group-A), with a two-year probation. It is not a contractual DHS walk-in. The pension type (NPS or otherwise) is not stated in Advt. No. 04/2026.
Can candidates from other states apply for MPSC recruitment?
Only if they still meet the Manipur residence rule. You need PRC, or proof that a parent or direct ancestor is a permanent resident, plus electoral roll and birth certificate evidence. Domicile certificates are not accepted.
Where will I be posted if I get selected for MPSC Dental Surgeon?
Inside the Health Department, Government of Manipur. The notice does not name a hospital or district. Expect state-cadre posting, including district hospitals and CHCs, as the department decides after appointment.
Is Manipur PRC mandatory for this Dental Surgeon vacancy?
Yes. PRC is in the upload list. Domicile and other residential certificates are barred. The lineage route (parent or ancestor who is a permanent resident, with electoral roll and birth certificate) is the only printed alternative to your own PRC.
Is there negative marking in the Dental Surgeon written paper?
Yes. Each correct answer gets 1 mark, and each wrong answer loses 0.33 marks. The paper has 85 MCQs in two hours: 23 marks in basic medical science and 62 marks in dental speciality subjects.
What is the salary of a dental surgeon in state government hospitals?
In this Manipur notice, the cadre starts at Level-12 with ₹53,100 basic. In-hand in a state hospital then depends on that state’s DA and HRA. Do not mix this band with central CHS Level-10 figures. Always read the pay line printed in the advertisement you are applying to.
Can BDS graduates work in Manipur Health Service without speaking Manipuri?
Not under this advertisement. The candidate must be able to speak Manipuri (Meetei/Meitei Lon) or a recognised tribal dialect of Manipur. That language line sits with citizenship and PRC as an eligibility condition, not as a later training module.
What are the disadvantages of a state dental surgeon job in Manipur?
Worth knowing before you apply: only 13 seats, a negatively marked paper, and a hard PRC-plus-language gate. The posting is a Health Department call across Manipur, not an Imphal-only promise. Private-practice rules and pension type are also left out of this notice.
Final Checklist – Is This the Right Job for You?
Use this quick checklist before you apply:
- You meet the age and educational criteria as of 23 September 2026.
- You hold a BDS + State Dental Council registration dated on or before that cut-off.
- You can speak Manipuri or a tribal dialect of Manipur and can upload PRC (not domicile).
- You are comfortable with regular Group-A state service and a two-year probation.
- You can arrange all required documents before you hit submit on eMPSC.
- You are prepared for the written MCQ paper with 0.33 negative marking, then an interview.
- You understand that posting is anywhere in Manipur under the Health Department.
