Preparation Tips
The professional part is 270 of 450 marks, so community health and the national programmes come first. Rajasthan GK, English and Hindi, and computers are 45 each and the same across every cadre of Advt 01/2025, so any paper from that recruitment is useful practice for them. Attempt everything: a blank costs as much as a wrong answer.
