About SVIMS Tirupati

For those outside the medical field, here’s why an SVIMS job is worth this much attention.

SVIMS — Sri Venkateswara Institute of Medical Sciences — is a premier tertiary care and teaching hospital in Tirupati, run under the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD). It’s one of the most respected super-specialty medical institutions in Andhra Pradesh, offering advanced treatment across cardiology, neurology, oncology, nephrology, and more.

Working as a Staff Nurse here isn’t just a job — it’s a career at a government super-specialty institute with the stability, structured pay progression, and professional respect that come with it. You’ll be working in a high-standard clinical environment, gaining experience across specialties that shapes you into a far stronger nurse than a routine posting ever would. And it’s a permanent government position under a prestigious institution — the kind of security and prestige that private hospital jobs simply can’t match.

Key Highlights: SVIMS Staff Nurse Recruitment 2026

SVIMS  Eligibility 2026 — Read This Carefully

A graduate registered with the Andhra Pradesh Nursing Council — or a GNM diploma holder with three years of tertiary care experience — who is a Hindu and a native of Andhra Pradesh, aged 18 to 42, is eligible to apply.

This notification has some specific eligibility conditions that go beyond just qualification, so read all of them before applying.

Educational Qualification (two routes):

Route 1 — Must have passed B.Sc Nursing from a recognized university, AND must be registered with the Andhra Pradesh Nursing Council.

Route 2 — Must have passed Intermediate or equivalent, AND completed the General Nursing Course (GNM) of three years plus six months of Midwifery training from an INC-recognized institution, AND have three years of experience in a Medical College / tertiary care hospital, AND be registered with the AP Nursing Council.

Desirable qualifications (added advantage): BLS & ACLS training certificates, and knowledge of computer applications.

Age Limit: 18 to 42 years as on 1 July 2026. Age relaxation — 5 years for SC/ST/BC/EWS, 10 years for PwBD, 3 years plus service length for Ex-Servicemen. Maximum age with all relaxations put together is 52 years.

Two important conditions unique to this recruitment:

First — only candidates professing the Hindu religion are eligible, in accordance with the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams Employees Service Rules. This is a TTD institutional rule stated clearly in the official notification.

Second — all posts are reserved for candidates native to Andhra Pradesh (post-bifurcation). You’ll need to upload original study certificates for 7th to 10th class (four academic years) or a residence certificate from the Tahsildar as proof of nativity.

A valid AP Nursing Council Registration Certificate is mandatory to upload with your application.

SVIMS  Vacancy 2026 — Breakdown

The 236 total posts split into two categories.

Regular Vacancies — 212 posts, distributed across categories: OC 88, EWS 23, BC groups (A/B/D and others) covering a significant share, SC 24, and ST 16, among other classifications as per AP’s Rule of Reservation.

Backlog Vacancies — 24 posts, reserved across BC and ST categories.

Horizontal reservations apply within these vertical categories for Persons with Benchmark Disability (PwBD), Meritorious Sports Persons, Ex-Servicemen, and Women, as per Andhra Pradesh government orders. The vacancy numbers are provisional and SVIMS reserves the right to vary them.

SVIMS  Salary 2026

The Staff Nurse post carries the pay scale of ₹38,720 – ₹1,18,390 under RPS 2022 (Revised Pay Scales, Andhra Pradesh).

That means your basic pay starts at ₹38,720 and grows steadily through annual increments up to ₹1,18,390 over the course of your service. On top of the basic, government staff nurses receive Dearness Allowance, House Rent Allowance, medical benefits, and other allowances as per AP government norms — which pushes the actual take-home well above the basic figure.

Beyond the monthly pay, this is a permanent government job at a super-specialty institute — with pension benefits, job security, and structured career progression. For a nursing professional, that combination of a strong starting salary and long-term stability is genuinely hard to beat in the private sector.

SVIMS  Selection Process 2026

The selection method depends on how many people apply for the post — the notification is specific about this.

If applications for the post are fewer than 10: Selection happens purely on weightage of qualifying exam marks, experience, and interview.

If applications are 10 or more (which is certain for 236 posts): A Computer Based Online Test (CBT) will be conducted, followed by experience weightage and interview.

Here’s the total 100-mark breakdown:

Written Test (CBT) — 75 marks. 75 multiple-choice questions, one mark each, in 90 minutes. No negative marking — so attempt every single question. The paper is in English.

Experience — 15 marks. One mark for every completed 6-month block of service (in Govt/Semi-Govt/Public Sector or hospitals with 500+ beds), up to a maximum of 15 marks. Valid experience certificates with EPF statements for the last 2 years are required.

Interview — 10 marks.

Minimum qualifying marks in the CBT: 40% for OC & EWS, 35% for BC, and 30% for SC/ST/PwBD candidates.

A normalization procedure is applied if the exam runs across multiple sessions, to keep scoring fair.

SVIMS  Exam Syllabus 2026

The CBT covers two parts. Prepare around these.

Part A — Core Nursing Subjects:

• Basic Sciences (Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry, Microbiology)
• Fundamentals of Nursing (basic procedures, first aid, medication administration, patient safety, biomedical waste management)
• Medical Surgical Nursing including Pharmacology (cardiac, respiratory, renal, neuro, oncology, critical care, OT protocols, NABH, drug dosages)
• Obstetrics & Gynaecology Nursing (maternal health, labour, neonatal emergencies, NICU)
• Child Health Nursing (growth and development, paediatric care, childhood diseases)
• Mental Health Nursing (psychiatric disorders, therapeutic interventions)
• Nursing Management, Supervision & Education (ward management, HIMS, nursing research)
• Community Health Nursing (epidemiology, immunization, national health programmes)

Part B — General Knowledge & Aptitude:

• Mathematical aptitude (number systems, percentages, ratios, profit/loss, interest)
• General English & Computers (comprehension, grammar, vocabulary, health IT)

Since there’s no negative marking, your strategy is simple — attempt all 75 questions. Focus your heaviest preparation on Medical Surgical Nursing and Fundamentals, as these carry the broadest question coverage.

Official Notification PDF: Read Full Notification (N1.pdf)

Preparation Tips for SVIMS 2026

No negative marking changes your entire strategy. Attempt all 75 questions without hesitation. Even educated guesses on questions you’re unsure about are pure upside — there’s zero penalty. Leaving a question blank is the only real mistake you can make here.

Medical Surgical Nursing is your highest-yield topic. It’s the broadest section of the syllabus and covers cardiac, respiratory, renal, neuro, oncology, and critical care nursing. Revise your MSN thoroughly — this is where the most marks live.

Don’t neglect drug calculations and dosages. The syllabus specifically mentions computation of drug dosages and solution preparation. These are scoring questions if you practice them, and easy marks lost if you don’t.

Get your documents ready NOW, not on the last day. This notification requires a lot of paperwork — nativity certificates for 7th-10th class, AP Nursing Council registration, experience certificates with EPF statements. Gathering these takes time. Start collecting them the moment you decide to apply.

Brush up on General English, Aptitude, and Computers. Part B is often where prepared nursing candidates lose easy marks by ignoring it. Basic percentages, ratios, comprehension, and health IT — a few days of revision here can lift your total significantly.

Before your interview stage, reading through interview experiences and preparation materials can help you approach the personal interview round with more confidence.
