Update : Editorial : Who all should apply for this exam and why ?

Dear Doctors,

You may know that TN Medical Services is the most most rapidly growing Medical Services in India

There are more than 15000 Doctors working in various institutions at present in around 1600 PHCs (Each PHC have 2 doctors, Upgraded PHC have two more, Block PHC has one more –  That makes around 4000 doctors in PHCs alone in Tamil Nadu)  + Doctors in around 300 Government Hospitals + Doctors in around 20 Medical Colleges. In addition, there are dispensaries run by corporations and municipalities, and various central and state government schemes (TANSACS, RNTCP, TNHSP etc)

The department has almost doubled in the past decade

-oOo-

This has necessitated government to recruit doctors through various means

1. General TNPSC – conducted in 1998, 1999, 2003 Oct, 2005 Oct, 2009 Feb

2. Womens Only General TNPSC – Condcuted in 2000

3. Special TNPSC – Conducted in 2003 Jul, 2007 Dec, 2009 Nov – for regularising doctors appointed through the following modes

(a) 10 A 1

(b) Post PG Compulsary Service

(c) Relaxation of 10 A 1

(d) Contract Medical Officers

(e) Contract Medical Consultants

-oOo-

Each of these modes have their advantages as well as disadvantages

Since the department is in actively growing stage, multiple routes of recruitment are needed.

In addition to the above mentioned methods, Government has now announced recruitment through MRB – Medical Recruitment Board in an aim to reduce the disadvantages of the above methods. This has necessitated many questions. We try to look at few important questions

Question 1 : Fate of MRB in Long Run??

The actual answers is “No one knows it at present”  because it is a process in evolution

Tomorrow

  • Scenario 1 : MRB can replace TNPSC totally, Or
  • Scenario 2 : MRB can replace only General TNPSC and those selected by MRB has to take special TNPSC to get regularised, Or
  • Scenario 3 : MRB can replace 10 a 1 and those selected by MRB has to take special TNPSC to get regularised, Or
  • Scenario 4 : TNPSC can conduct yearly exams like TNPG and MRB may not in the picture at all

All possibilities are open

Question 2 : Seniority ??

  • If Scenario 2,3,4 happens, then there is no need for those already in service (eg those appointed by 10 A 1, those appointed in post PG compulsary service) to appear for this exams

BUT

  • If MRB replaces TNPSC totally (Scenario 1), then those selected by this MRB Exam will be senior to those who are going to be selected by Special TNPSC.

Hence, those already in service (10 A 1, Post PG Bond etc) have to appear in this exam to get seniority (If you don’t apply or if you apply but don’t get selected, you will not be send home from your job immediately. You will be junior to those who are selected by MRB)

-oOo-

But as of now, based on the current acts and rules, we don’t know what will happen. .

Since this in an evolving process, the guidelines are being formed. At present we have only two government orders regarding Assitant Surgeon Recruitment through MRB to know the present status
-oOo-
So our advice will be

  • Freshers , take this exam to get a job
  • Those already in service (10 A 1, Post PG Compulsary Service etc), getting a rank will definitely help you in case MRB evolves to Scenario 1 described above. In case Scenarios 2,3,4 happen, this exam will be of no use,

Doubt : The exam date clashes with AIIMS May 2013
Reply : Please represent to MRB directly. Posting in comments of This site or in Facebook is of no use 🙂

Doubt : Are those who are completing internship this march eligible
Reply : Check the guidelines. The answer is clearly there

Doubt : What does this mean “He shall abide by the condition that if he is selected and appointed as Assistant Surgeon, after joining duty, he shall not be permitted to undergo PG course within the period of two years excluding the period of leave”

Reply : This means that
1. He / she is not eligible for service quota
2. He / she is not eligible for study leave to undertake PG as Private candidate, join back and retain seniority

This DOES NOT MEAN That he / she cannot resign

Please read the sentence properly “he shall not be permitted to undergo PG course within the period of two years excluding the period of leave”

Is it given “he shall not be permitted to resign within the period of two years excluding the period of leave”

He / she can resign any time, but if he / she resigns before 2 years, the service he / she has put till that date will not be counted.

Assume Three Candidates

Candidate A : Joins MRB in 2013, writes General TNPSC or Special TNPSC 2013, gets selected in TNPSC. He works for 2 years till 2015. Then gets PG Seat in Tamil Nadu Government College through All India 2016 or TNPG 2016. He can join as Service Candidate. He will be eligible for Pay and Paper Increments. After his PG Course, he can join in 2019. His seniority will be equal to others who have cleared the same TNPSC as him. In addition he would have got 6 increments at that time

Candidate B : Joins MRB in 2013, writes General TNPSC or Special TNPSC 2013, gets selected in TNPSC. He works for 2 years till 2015. Then gets PG Seat in AIIMS Nov 2015 pr PGI Dec 2015. So he applies for leave. When he comes back after 3 years in 2018, he will be treated as senior. His seniority will be equal to others who have cleared the same TNPSC as him, but since he was on study leave, he would not be given the three increments. He would have got only 3 increments, but CML Seniority will be preserved

Candidate C :  Joins MRB in 2013, writes General TNPSC or Special TNPSC 2013, gets selected in TNPSC. He works for 1 years till 2014. Then gets PG Seat in AIIMS Nov 2014 pr PGI Dec 2014 or All India 2015 or TNPG 2015. Now. he CANNOT apply for leave. He has to resign and go. If he joins again in 2018, that will be taken as Fresh Appointment . . . . No Seniority, No Increments (Similar to “parotta counting” in vennila kabadi kuzhu – azhichu pudichu muthala irunthu aarambikka solvuvanga)

  • Those who are not in service and those who want to enter Tamil Nadu Medical Services MUST take this exam
  • Whether those who are already in Service in temporary basis (both categories viz 1. Those who are appointed under 10 A 1 and 2. Those appointed in relaxation of 10 A 1 through Post PG Compulsary Service) need to take this exam is not clear at the moment. OUR SUGGESTION Unless you are explicitly banned from taking this exam, please apply, prepare and try to get maximum marks
  • There is no mention of Oral Exam. So prepare with full energy for this exam
  • The advantage of this (as compared to 10 A 1) is that you need not wait till your chance comes through employment exchange. You can take the exam then and there
  • From what we know till now, this is neither General TNPSC nor Special TNPSC, but looks like another mode of recruitment, perhaps replacing appointment through employment exchange. Those who are selected by this may  have to clear a Special TNPSC later to become regularised or may be regularized based on this mark alone.

    • if you are already in service (10ai) then you don’t need to write this MRB exam.Because this is another 10ai recruitment only.Whats the point? You want to re-enter the service as a fresh candidate once more? lol

    • A KIND REQUEST TO THE 2800 OLD 10(a)(i) DOCTORS; All new recruited doctors were appointed in their willing places with regularisation whereas the 2800 10(a)(i) doctors ( working for the past 4 years in the remote places) awaiting for SPECIAL TNPSC examination. The MRB announced the Doctors recruitment recently before the SPECIAL TNPSC exam for doctors. What happened in TNPSC? I think there is no co-operation or communication among the 2800 doctors. They may approach the COURT by way of writ petition. Who will do this? ONLY UNITY WILL SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. Please take action for conducting the SPECIAL TNPSC before the MRB exam for the new doctors.

    • Dear Dr,
      We have already answered this question above
      //Freshers , take this exam to get a job
      Those already in service (10 A 1, Post PG Compulsary Service etc), getting a rank will definitely help you in case MRB evolves to Scenario 1 described above. In case Scenarios 2,3,4 happen, this exam will be of no use,//
      Are there any doubts in what has been written above

  44. Okay.It’s just 5 days to the exam.Have anyone got the details regarding the Exam centre,Hall ticket,Time or such important info needed or else How to get?
