The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has officially announced the final results for the Combined Medical Services (CMS) Examination 2025. This declaration marks the culmination of a rigorous, multi-stage selection process, which began with the notification released earlier in the year and included both a written examination and a personality test. For the aspiring medical professionals who undertook this demanding recruitment drive, the result published on December 22, 2025, delivers the final verdict on their entry into Central Government health services.
The final merit list, now available on the official UPSC website, confirmed the recommendation of a total of 812 candidates for appointment to Group A and Group B medical officer posts across various government departments. This figure represents the successful aspirants who cleared the Written Exam (Part I), held on July 20, 2025, followed by the rigorous Personality Test (Part II), which was conducted from October to December 2025. The final selected candidates will now be allocated posts in two main categories, primarily filling critical medical vacancies in the Central Health Services and Indian Railways.
Key Appointment Breakdown and Vacancy Details
The 812 recommended candidates are set to be appointed against the total notified 705 vacancies for the CMS 2025 cycle. The total number of successful candidates exceeds the initial vacancies because the final list often includes a reserve list and accounts for candidates provisionally selected, pending complete verification of their documents. The appointments are strictly divided into two categories of posts:
Category I: Central Health Service Posts
- Total Recommended Candidates: 363
- Post: Medical Officers Grade in the General Duty Medical Officers Sub-cadre of the Central Health Service (CHS).
- Role Focus: These officers serve in various central government hospitals and healthcare facilities nationwide.
Category II: Railways, NDMC, and MCD Posts
- Total Recommended Candidates: 449
- Posts Included: Assistant Divisional Medical Officer (ADMO) in the Indian Railways, General Duty Medical Officer (GDMO) in the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC), and GDMO Grade-II in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD).
- Role Focus: The largest share of these posts is typically reserved for the ADMO roles, providing key medical services across the vast Indian Railways network.
The final merit list published by UPSC is a consolidated document, listing the roll numbers of the qualified candidates. Aspirants are strongly advised to check the official PDF on the UPSC portal to confirm their selection and begin preparing for the next crucial steps: document verification and joining formalities.
Next Steps for Recommended Candidates
The publication of the final result initiates the administrative phase of the recruitment process. While the UPSC finalizes the list, the selected candidates must now wait for the issuance of appointment letters and specific joining instructions from the respective Ministries and Departments they have been allocated to (e.g., Ministry of Railways, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare).
The Commission has also confirmed that the marks of the non-recommended candidates—and those who were finally selected—will be made public on the official website within approximately fifteen days from the date of the result declaration, providing valuable transparency for all participants.
For doctors seeking a stable, secure, and respected career in public service, the UPSC CMS exam is a highly competitive gateway. The candidates who have successfully navigated this process have secured Group A or Group B status, placing them in key positions to contribute to India’s public health infrastructure. The journey is complete, and a new phase of professional service now begins.
