• Mode: CBT
• Duration: 3 Hours
• Qualifying Marks: 50% (Gen/OBC/EWS), 45% (SC/ST)

Subject-Wise Weightage and Preparation Focus

The SSB Staff Nurse exam is heavily technical (around 67% weightage), which makes domain knowledge the key differentiator.

Preparation Strategy:

• Focus on Nursing/Pharmacy core subjects (highest scoring area)
• Maintain accuracy in General Aptitude to avoid cut-off risks
• Practice previous year questions to understand pattern consistency
• For Pharmacist candidates, physical fitness preparation is equally important

Expert Insight:
Due to only 12 vacancies, competition will be high despite limited awareness. Candidates with strong technical preparation and moderate aptitude skills have a higher chance of selection.
