The Walk-in Interview for the Adhoc Assistant Professor post in Head and Neck Oncology at Homi Bhabha Cancer Hospital and Research Centre, Visakhapatnam is scheduled for 12 May 2026. Candidates must report to the HRD Department on the 1st Floor of the hospital between 09:30 AM and 10:30 AM on that day. Candidates arriving after 10:30 AM will not be allowed to attend the interview under any circumstances — no exceptions will be made. Candidates are strongly advised to reach the venue at least 30 minutes before the reporting time to complete registration formalities smoothly.

The qualification requirement has three options. Under the first option, candidates must hold an M.Ch or D.N.B. in Head and Neck Oncology. Under the second option, candidates with M.Ch or D.N.B. in Surgical Oncology are also eligible. The third option covers candidates holding M.S. or D.N.B. in General Surgery or ENT, or an equivalent postgraduate degree recognized by the National Medical Commission, provided they have at least 3 years of post-graduation experience in Surgical Oncology or Head and Neck Oncology in a recognized teaching hospital. Candidates with less than 3 years of experience may also attend but will only be considered for a lower grade if no suitably experienced candidates are available.

The consolidated salary for the Adhoc Assistant Professor post at Homi Bhabha Cancer Hospital and Research Centre, Visakhapatnam ranges from ₹1,28,000 per month to ₹1,52,000 per month. The exact salary within this range will be decided at the time of selection based on the candidate’s qualification, experience, and grade assessed during the interview. This is among the highest consolidated salaries offered for a temporary faculty post in a government cancer research institution in India. There are no additional allowances mentioned beyond this consolidated package.

The initial tenure of service for the Adhoc Assistant Professor post at HBCHRC Visakhapatnam is fixed for a period of six months from the date of joining. After completion of the initial six months, the tenure may be extended further based on the institutional requirement of the centre and the individual performance of the candidate. However, this post is purely temporary and on a fixed term basis — there is no provision for regularisation, permanent absorption, or any commitment regarding continuation beyond the approved tenure period. Candidates must keep this in mind before attending the interview.

Candidates must carry their updated bio-data, a recent passport-size photograph, and a photocopy of their PAN Card. They must also bring all original certificates — this includes all educational qualification documents (MBBS, postgraduate degree), experience certificates from all previous employers, relieving letters, and payslips for the last 3 months. Additionally, one complete set of self-attested photocopies of all these documents must be submitted at the venue. Candidates who fail to bring original certificates will strictly not be allowed to attend the interview. Candidates should also be prepared to provide any additional employment proof documents if requested by the selection panel before or after the interview.

No, there is no application fee for the Walk-in Interview at Homi Bhabha Cancer Hospital and Research Centre, Visakhapatnam. The recruitment notification does not mention any application fee for any category of candidates. Eligible candidates simply need to walk in directly to the HRD Department at the hospital on 12 May 2026 with their bio-data and all required documents. There is no prior registration or online application process required for this walk-in interview.

Yes, candidates with less than 3 years of post-graduation experience in Surgical or Head and Neck Oncology can attend the Walk-in Interview. However, their consideration is conditional — they will only be evaluated for a lower grade position if no suitably experienced candidates with the required 3 years of post-graduation experience are available at the time of the interview. If experienced candidates are present and selected, less experienced candidates will not proceed further. This is a fallback provision by the institution to ensure that the post does not remain vacant. Candidates in this situation are still encouraged to attend, as it gives them a genuine opportunity to join a prestigious institution like Tata Memorial Centre.
