Online applications will be accepted from 9 November 2026 to 18 November 2026 through the official portal join.afms.gov.in. The detailed notification is scheduled for 7 November 2026.

The short-notice summary also reports that candidates must have qualified for or appeared in the NEET PG examination, and that shortlisting will be based on academic eligibility and NEET PG scores.
