11. Frequently asked questions

Is Tata Memorial Centre a government job or private?

TMC is a fully government institution — an autonomous body under the Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India. Despite having “Tata” in its name, it is NOT a Tata Group private company. The original Tata philanthropic trust funded the hospital in 1941 but the Government of India has administered it ever since. All TMC employees are central government employees with full 7th Pay Commission benefits.

I am an MBBS doctor with 2 years experience. Which TMC post am I eligible for?

With MBBS and 2 years of experience, you are eligible for Medical Officer posts at TMC. These are typically at Level 10 (₹56,100/month basic) in the 7th Pay Commission scale. You would need MCI/NMC registration to be eligible. For Consultant posts at TMC, you would need a postgraduate degree (MD/MS/DNB) with additional years of specialist experience.

What is a Medical Physicist post at TMC and what are the qualifications?

A Medical Physicist at TMC works in the Radiation Oncology department — calibrating radiation therapy equipment, planning radiation doses for cancer patients, and ensuring radiation safety. The qualification required is M.Sc. in Physics plus a Diploma in Radiological Physics from an AERB (Atomic Energy Regulatory Board) recognised institution. This is a highly specialised and well-paid post — Scientific Officer ‘E’ grade at Level 12 (₹78,800/month basic).

How often does TMC release new recruitment notifications?

TMC releases new recruitment notifications very frequently — approximately every 3–6 weeks. Different units (Mumbai, Varanasi, Sangrur, Guwahati etc.) release their own notifications independently. Walk-in interview notifications for Senior Residents and Fellows are released even more frequently — sometimes weekly. Check tmc.gov.in at least once every two weeks if you are actively looking for TMC jobs.

Can I apply for multiple posts in the same TMC notification?

Generally no — TMC notifications typically require you to apply for one post per application. However, if you are eligible for multiple posts in the same notification, some TMC notifications allow separate applications for each post with a separate fee payment. Check the specific notification’s instructions on multiple applications before proceeding.

Does TMC have positions outside Mumbai?

Yes — TMC has significantly expanded beyond Mumbai in recent years. Active recruitment happens for centres in Varanasi (HBCH and MPMMCC), New Chandigarh and Sangrur in Punjab (HBCHRC), Guwahati (Dr. B. Borooah Cancer Institute), Visakhapatnam, and Muzaffarpur. The Punjab centres in particular have been very actively recruiting in 2025–26 as they are newer facilities building their teams.
