Goa PSC Various Vacancy 2026: 47 Lecturer, Medico Legal Officer, Dean & Mamlatdar Posts – Apply Online from 13 February 2026

Complete Recruitment Panorama – 47 Government Jobs in Goa

Goa Public Service Commission (GPSC) has activated the recruitment cycle for the year 2026 with a concentrated notification. A total of 47 permanent posts are spread across five government departments: Animal Husbandry, Goa Medical College, Health Services, Technical Education (Polytechnic), and Personnel (Mamlatdar cadre). The notification distinctly includes super-speciality medical faculty positions (Surgery, Paediatrics, Anaesthesiology, General Medicine, ENT, Respiratory, Radiodiagnosis, Radiation Oncology, Dermatology, Orthopaedics, Ophthalmology, OBG) as well as engineering/chemistry/maths lecturers and law graduates for Mamlatdar/Joint Mamlatdar. Unlike combined exams, this recruitment relies on shortlisting + interview, giving weightage to experience, research score (Dean), and recognised PG degrees. For the first time, the Commission explicitly mentions that Konkani language proficiency may be relaxed for certain Group A professional posts — a huge relief for out-of-state specialists. However, candidates with Konkani knowledge (and desirable Marathi) get preference. All applications are online only via GPSC’s portal or Goa’s e-challan system; no offline forms.

Why This Recruitment Matters — Prestigious & Specialised Roles

This is not a mass recruitment; it’s a targeted selection for highly skilled professionals. For medical lecturers, three years of post-PG senior residency is mandatory. Mamlatdars require a law degree plus knowledge of revenue laws — making it a unique entry for legal experts into the Goa civil services. The Dean post (Veterinary) demands 15 years Professor/Associate Professor experience with UGC research score. The notification carefully lists reservation for OBC, ST, SC, EWS (total 24 posts reserved out of 47). Salary ranges from Pay Matrix Level 7 (Mamlatdar) up to Level-14 + 20% NPA for Dean. Candidates must note that even if eligible, mere application doesn’t guarantee interview; the Commission may shortlist on higher qualifications/experience. The application period is extremely short — only 15 days — so aspirants should prepare documents, Konkani certification (if any), and e-challan payment before the 27 February cutoff.

Why Dates & Fee Mode Matter – Critical Compliance

The last date 27 February 2026 is absolute. Goa PSC has not mentioned any correction window; so filling accurate details in one go is vital. For offline challan: the challan must be generated online first, then paid at SBI Goa. The bank-stamped copy must be retained; the Commission matches payment electronically. Candidates outside Goa should prefer online payment to avoid travel. A common mistake: assuming payment next day. Since challan valid 7 days, but last date is 27 Feb — even if you generate challan on 26 Feb, you must pay by 27 Feb. Failure means no application. Also, fee is non-refundable even if the Commission rejects your application on eligibility later. Hence check eligibility twice.

Understanding Age Limit Impact – 45 Years Cap

For 45 out of 47 posts, the upper age limit is 45 years. This is relatively liberal compared to UPSC/MPSC. It allows mid-career medical officers, experienced engineers, and law graduates to shift into teaching or administrative roles. Candidates born after 13 February 1981 (if general) are eligible. Those with government service in Goa may have extended benefits; however, the notification doesn't explicitly mention departmental relaxation. Always count age as on the date of notification. The Dean post at 55 years indicates a senior professorial level. If you are 44 years and 11 months, you are eligible. Don’t self-reject; compute precisely.

GMC Speciality Wise Reservation (Critical for Medical Candidates)

Why this matters: SC candidates have only 1 post (General Medicine). OBC has fair representation in Surgery, Paediatrics, Anaesthesia, Ortho. ST has 6 medical lecturer posts — apply accordingly.

Plain Language: What "Knowledge of Konkani" Actually Means

Many non-Goan candidates worry. Konkani knowledge means speaking, reading, or understanding the local language. Usually tested via interview or certificate (SSC with Konkani medium, or language test). The notification adds a major relaxation: the Commission may relax Konkani requirement for Group A professional posts (Medical Lecturers, Dean, Engineers) on recommendation. So if you are a highly qualified medic without Konkani, still apply; they may relax. For Mamlatdar (law) Konkani is strict likely. Don’t skip; mention your proficiency and be ready for a brief oral.

Syllabus – Not Applicable (No written exam)

Since there is no preliminary or mains exam, there is no prescribed syllabus. Candidates should prepare for domain knowledge in their speciality (medical/engineering/law/veterinary), teaching aptitude, and Goa-specific revenue laws for Mamlatdar. Interview will probe practical experience, recent advances, and case studies. For Dean, research output, UGC score, and administrative vision.

Shortlisting – Why Your Degree Marks Matter Even Without Exam

The Commission may receive hundreds of applications for 47 posts. They will filter candidates for interview based on higher qualification, more experience, PhD, additional degrees, publications. A candidate with just the minimum eligibility (3 years experience, pass class) may not get interview call if others have 10 years, M.Ch, or fellowships. So present your best in application.

Most Common Mistakes in Form Filling

1) Not mentioning Konkani knowledge even if you know; mention it explicitly. 2) Uploading blurry photo or signature; rejection. 3) Wrong spellings of post name – use exactly as in notification. 4) Not reporting correct post-PG experience – subtract internship. 5) Offline fee paid but challan not submitted before 27 Feb; ensure stamped copy uploaded if portal asks. 6) Overlooking “desirable” Marathi; adds weight.
