Important point for CHO applicants
The integrated MLHP course is specifically mentioned as part of the essential qualification. Therefore, based strictly on this advertisement, merely having B.Sc.

4. General eligibility conditions applicable to these posts
Age limit
The advertisement states that the age should preferably not be less than 18 years and not exceed 40 years.
Relaxation is specified as:
- SC/ST: 5 years
- OBC: 3 years
- PH: 10 years
The relaxation is from the date of application and is subject to Government instructions/orders.
5. Goa Residence Requirement
A 15-year residence certificate is mandatory for all applicants, subject to the exceptions mentioned in the advertisement.
The PDF gives these exceptions:
A. Children of certain State Government employees
State Government employees working outside Goa are exempted from producing a 15-year residence certificate for their children.
B. Marriage-related exception
A person whose marriage is registered in Goa, where the spouse has 15 years’ residence in Goa, and both are continuously residing in Goa for 5 years, is covered by the stated exception.
C. Ex-servicemen
Ex-servicemen/women and their spouse and children residing in Goa for the last two years after discharge/release/retirement from the armed forces are also covered by an exception.
6. Language requirement
The advertisement states:
- Knowledge of Konkani is essential
- Knowledge of Marathi is desirable
For the CHO post specifically, fluency in Konkani and Marathi, both speaking and writing, is listed under desirable qualifications.
7. Place of posting
The selected candidates may be stationed at different parts of the State of Goa.
Therefore, applicants should be prepared for posting in locations other than the place where they currently reside.
8. Nature of appointment
These are contractual appointments, not permanent Government posts.
The initial proposal is to fill the posts on a contract basis for one year under NHM, Directorate of Health Services, Panaji, Goa.
The advertisement explicitly states that:
- The selected candidate will have no future claim for absorption into a regular State Government job.
- The NHM programme jobs will not be regularised.
9. Council registration
The advertisement states that:
Applications without valid council registration will not be entertained for specified posts.
Therefore, candidates applying for posts where professional council registration is specified should ensure that their registration is valid.
For CHO, the post-specific requirement is that the candidate must be enrolled with the Goa Nursing Council at the time of interview.
For Staff Nurse, the qualification section only states B.Sc Nursing/Diploma in Basic Nursing (GNM); the advertisement’s general registration condition should nevertheless be noted.
10. Documents at interview
The advertisement specifically says that candidates must produce:
Hard copies of the application and all documents at the time of interview.
The PDF does not provide a separate detailed checklist of every document in the extracted recruitment notice, so I would not add documents such as Aadhaar, marksheets, caste certificate, etc. as mandatory based solely on this PDF.
11. Selection/verification conditions
The advertisement states that shortlisted candidates may be subjected to:
- Background checks
- Verification of qualifications
- Other assessments considered necessary by NHM-Goa
Failure to produce necessary documents during recruitment may result in disqualification.
The selection committee also reserves the right to reject applications without providing a reason. NHM-Goa can modify/amend terms or the place of posting according to programme requirements without prior notice.
12. Application details
Eligible candidates are instructed in the advertisement to apply online.
Last date: 18 September 2026.
