Where will you be posted?
Dental Surgeons will work at Safdarjung Hospital, Dr RML Hospital and RHTC Najafgarh in Delhi, treating Central Government employees, pensioners and other CGHS beneficiaries. Note that the Dental Surgeon headquarters can be anywhere in India.
Ayurveda and Homeopathic Physicians will run Ayurveda and Homoeopathy units under NDMC in New Delhi, attend patients in the OPD and IPD, and attend health camps and melas. Private practice of any kind is prohibited for both NDMC posts — which is why NPA (non-practising allowance) is paid on them.

How will selection happen?
- Online application — you fill in the form and upload documents on the UPSC portal. UPSC shortlists on the information you give.

- Recruitment Test (only if held) — centres would be Ahmedabad, Bhopal, Chennai, Delhi, Dispur (Guwahati), Jaipur, Jammu, Kochi, Kolkata, Lucknow, Mumbai, Nagpur, Port Blair, Ranchi and Visakhapatnam.
- Interview (100 marks) — minimum qualifying marks: 50 for UR, 45 for OBC and 40 for SC, ST and PH. UPSC emails the date and posts it on its website.
