Additionally, institutions such as the Employees' State Insurance Corporation (ESIC), Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), Chittaranjan National Cancer Institute (CNCI) Kolkata, Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital (RML), Lady Hardinge Medical College (LHMC), Regional Institute of Paramedical and Nursing Sciences (RIPANS) Aizawl, AIIMS-CAPFIMS, and the Pasteur Institute of India are part of this process; this means candidates have the opportunity to secure jobs at prestigious medical institutions across the country through a single examination.
