- Appointments to the Bihar Medical Service shall be made-
(i) by direct recruitment from candidates not in Government employment;
(ii) by promotion from the Bihar Sub-Assistant Surgeons service.
- The selection of candidates for direct recruitment to the Bihar Medical Service will take place once a year, ordinarily in the month of January and will be made on the advice of the selection board now the State Public Service Commission. The date of the meeting of the board to be convened for the purpose will be fixed by the Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals, Bihar with the approval of Government and will be communicated by him to the members of the board.
- The Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals will advertise, sufficiently in advance of the date of the meeting of the selection board, the vacancies in the Bihar Medical Service likely to arise during the ensuing year for which the applications are to be invited (though no guarantee should be given of the appointment of any specified number), and will lay before the board for their consideration the applications received.
- The number of vacancies in the Provincial Medical Service within the complete year for which applications are to be invited will be calculated on the basis of the actual vacancies existing at the time of issuing the advertisement plus the number of vacancies bound to occur by the retirement of the members of the service due for superannuation and the vacancies likely to occur through casualties calculated on the average of the previous five years. The selection board will nominate twice the number of candidates likely to be required on this estimate. The final selection will be made by Government as vacancies actually occur. The selected candidates will be on probation for one year, and will be confirmed after that period on the recommendation of the Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals.
- All applications for appointment to the Bihar and Orissa Medical Service should be addressed direct to the Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals, Bihar and shall be in the form given in Appendix I, and any application received after the date specified in the advertisement shall be rejected.
- The candidate must be graduates of an Indian University, be registered under the Bihar and Orissa Medical Act (II of 1916) and must not be over 28 years of age.
- Together with the form of application every candidate shall submit-
(i) a certificate of character from the Principal of the Medical College from which he passed,
(ii) diploma in original,
(iii) evidence of age,
(iv) health certificate from a Civil Surgeon in the Form prescribed in Rule 57 of the Bihar and Orissa Service Code.
(v) domicile certificate in original from the District Magistrate, if the candidate claims to be domiciled inhabitant of the province.
- Nominated candidates will be eligible for selection to the vacancies accruing in the year of selection and thereafter their candidature will expire. Unselected candidates will be eligible to apply again in the following year.
- If any of the candidates selected by Government for permanent appointment on the recommendation of the selection board are not absorbed in permanent vacancies though no fault of their own, such candidates will have precedence over the candidates selected next year and will not be required to apply again.
- Any attempt on the part of a candidate to enlist support for his application through persons of influence is liable to disqualify him for appointment.
- All probationers in the Bihar and Orissa Medical Service will be required to sign a declaration bond when confirmed as Assistant Surgeons in the form in Appendix II.
- The time scale of pay sanctioned for officers of the Bihar and Orissa Medical Service is as follows :-
