The ESIC Recruitment Senior Resident 2025 drive is in full swing, with several ESIC hospitals across India inviting walk-in interviews for senior resident roles. If you’re a doctor with post-graduate qualifications looking for a contract role at a government-run medical institution, this could be the moment you’ve been waiting for.
What Is ESIC & Why Senior Resident Roles Matter
The Employees’ State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) is a major social security and healthcare provider in India. Its hospitals serve insured workers and their families. Senior Residents play a vital role in the clinical workforce — they are doctors who have already completed their MBBS and post-graduation (MD / MS / DNB) and take on patient care, teaching, and research responsibilities.

In 2025, ESIC is hiring Senior Residents on multiple bases: short-term contracts, longer residency schemes, and super-specialty roles. These roles are designed to bolster medical staff in ESIC hospitals and medical colleges. The recruitment is happening via walk-in interviews, making the process relatively straightforward compared to traditional exam-based recruitment.
