NHM Maharashtra CHO Merit List 2026 and DV Schedule

The National Health Mission (NHM), Maharashtra has published the category-wise merit list for its contractual Community Health Officer (CHO) recruitment. Candidates who appeared in the online examination can check the PDF, while those shortlisted should prepare for document verification and follow the latest official instructions.

The recruitment information gives two different vacancy totals: 1,974 in one section and 974 in others, so the confirmed number should be checked in the official recruitment notice. Applications were accepted online from November 4 to November 14, 2025; the examination took place online on August 25, 2026, and the result and merit list followed on September 22 and October 7. The selection stages are the computer-based test, result and merit-list publication, and document verification.

Important Dates

The supplied information does not give one consistent document-verification schedule: it reports both October 12–16 and October 7–18, 2026. Candidates should use the latest official notice applicable to their category to confirm their reporting date, venue and instructions.
