About the Staff Nurse and MPW Roles
Staff Nurses (GNM) are responsible for patient care, nursing duties, and health management in municipal health facilities and programs. They work directly with the public in clinical and community health settings under the supervision of senior medical staff. Nursing roles typically involve 8-12 hour shifts and fieldwork, depending on posting location.
Multi-Purpose Workers (MPW) assist in disease surveillance, immunisation programs, sanitation monitoring, and health education across assigned wards or communities. This is a primary-level health worker role requiring both office and field engagement. Both roles are essential to municipal health service delivery and offer exposure to a broad range of public health activities.
These are contractual positions – candidates cannot claim permanent absorption into state government service based on this engagement.
Pay Scale and Benefits
| Component | Amount |
|---|---|
| GNM (Female) – Monthly Remuneration | ₹20,000 (consolidated) |
| GNM (Male) – Monthly Remuneration | ₹20,000 (consolidated) |
| MPW (Male) – Monthly Remuneration | ₹18,000 (consolidated) |
Selected candidates will be paid on a consolidated basis for the entire contract period of 11 months and 29 days. No separate allowances, leave encashment, or gratuity is applicable as these are contractual engagements. In-hand take-home would typically be lower due to statutory deductions (PF, TDS where applicable, depending on salary structure clarification from TMC).
Application Fee
| Category | Fee |
|---|---|
| Open | ₹750 |
| Reserved (SC/ST/OBC/VJA/NT/SBC/EWS) | ₹500 |
Fees must be paid via Demand Draft from any nationalised bank, drawn in favour of “Integrated Health and Family Welfare Society.” The fee is non-refundable.

FAQs
Q1. Can I apply for multiple posts in this recruitment?
Ans. The notification does not explicitly permit applying for more than one post. It is advisable to apply for the post you are most eligible and interested in. Contact the TMC Public Health Department via the official website to clarify if applications for multiple posts are allowed.
Q2. My exam marks are borderline – am I eligible to apply?
Ans. Yes, if you meet the minimum qualifications (BSc Nursing/GNM with registration for nursing posts, or 12th Science + paramedical course for MPW). The merit list will be prepared based on your actual marks and experience; all eligible candidates can compete on the 100-point scale.
Q3. How is the merit list calculated if I have previous work experience?
Ans. Merit is calculated out of 100: 50 points for qualifying exam marks, up to 20 points for additional qualifications beyond the minimum, and up to 30 points for relevant work experience (6 marks per year, maximum 5 years). Your final score determines your rank on the merit list.
Q4. What happens if I don’t attend document verification?
Ans. If you are called for document verification and do not report on the scheduled date, you are declared ineligible and cannot proceed further. The next-ranked candidate on the merit list is given the opportunity.
Q5. Can I claim experience from work outside Maharashtra?
Ans. Experience from nursing or health-worker roles outside Maharashtra can be claimed if you provide valid experience certificates. However, the notification emphasizes Maharashtra residency for appointment; verify whether out-of-state experience is counted equally in merit calculation by contacting TMC.
Q6. Is Marathi language proficiency compulsory?
Ans. Yes, knowledge of Marathi is required per the notification. You may be asked to demonstrate basic Marathi proficiency during document verification or at the time of joining, depending on the role and posting location.
Q7. Will I become a permanent government employee after this contract ends?
Ans. No. This is a purely contractual engagement for 11 months and 29 days. The notification explicitly states that selected candidates cannot claim absorption into a regular government post based on this contractual service.
Q8. What is the non-creamy layer income limit for OBC candidates?
Ans. The notification does not specify the exact non-creamy layer income ceiling. This is typically as per government guidelines for that financial year. Obtain and submit a non-creamy layer certificate from your District Collector or Tahsildar when called for document verification if selected.
