Who Can Apply? Eligibility in Full
- Education: 10+2 in Science from a recognised board, plus a B.Sc. in a radiology or imaging discipline from a recognised university — such as B.Sc. Medical Technology in Radiology and Imaging, Radio Diagnosis and Radiotherapy, X-Ray and Radio Diagnosis, Radiation Technology, Medical Imaging Technology, Radiography and Imaging, or the lateral-entry Bachelor of Radiation Technology. The notification lists all accepted degrees.
- Registration (the decisive condition): registration with the Himachal Pradesh Para Medical Council, Shimla — now the State Allied Health Care Council, HP — is compulsory. A degree alone is not enough: a radiology degree from outside the state without HP council registration will not clear scrutiny, so check your registration status before paying the fee.
- Age limit: 18 to 45 years as on 1 January 2026. Candidates from Himachal Pradesh belonging to the SC, ST, OBC and WFF categories get relaxation of up to 5 years under government instructions.
- Desirable: knowledge of the customs, manners and dialects of Himachal Pradesh.
Is This a Permanent Government Job?
No — the post is offered under the Job Trainee Scheme-2025, so it is not a regular government post. Selected candidates will receive a fixed Rs 18,000 per month during the trainee period. The notification states no regular pay scale, so none is claimed here. Read the official notification for the exact terms of the trainee engagement.
What Is the Application Fee?
Every applicant, in every category, pays Rs 800 — Rs 100 as the examination fee and Rs 700 as the processing fee. Payment is through the online payment gateway only, by credit card, debit card or net banking. There is no offline payment mode.
How Will Candidates Be Selected? Exam Pattern
Selection begins with a 120-mark screening test — 120 multiple-choice questions in 90 minutes, in computer-based test (CBT) or OMR mode. Part one tests the subject itself, radiology and imaging technology up to the level of the prescribed qualification. Part two covers general knowledge including Himachal Pradesh, current affairs, everyday science, logical reasoning, social science, and general English and general Hindi of matric standard.
The qualifying marks are 45 percent for general category candidates and 40 percent for SC, ST, OBC and WFF candidates. If the test runs in more than one shift, scores will be normalised using the Z-score method. Candidates who clear the test go to document verification, where original degrees, mark sheets, council registration and category proofs are checked.
