The prestigious Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences (SGPGI), Lucknow, has officially announced its recruitment plan, and the numbers are staggering!
This is a life-changing opportunity, so let’s dive right in!
The Headline News: 1200 Posts with a Level-7 Salary!
Let’s get straight to the most exciting part. SGPGI has announced a massive recruitment drive for a total of 1200 Nursing Officer positions!
This is a huge number of vacancies from a single, renowned institute. But it gets even better. The post of Nursing Officer is at Pay Level-7, which means a starting salary of approximately ₹80,000 per month! This is a fantastic pay scale for a Group B (Non-Gazetted) post.
Here’s the category-wise breakdown of the 1200 posts:
- Unreserved (UR): 480
- OBC: 324
- SC: 253
- EWS: 119
- ST: 24
Are You Eligible? Let’s Break It Down
This recruitment drive is open to a wide range of candidates, which is excellent news for many aspirants.
Age Limit (A Golden Opportunity for Many!)
