Syllabus
The RRB Nursing Superintendent Exam is known for its balanced mix of technical nursing questions and general aptitude. Unlike AIIMS NORCET which is 100% nursing-focused (mostly), RRB allocates 30% weightage to Non-Technical subjects. This is where most nursing candidates lose marks.
To crack this exam, you need a targeted approach. In this guide, we provide the syllabus breakdown, topic-wise weightage, and a list of high-yield topics that have appeared in previous cycles (2015, 2019).
