Changes in Selection Process
Earlier, selection was based on interviews and academic scores. But now, with the increased number of candidates, there will be an exam from 2025 onwards. BSc and GNM candidates will have separate exams, but the question pattern will be the same. BSc questions might be a tad harder, but don't expect the GNM questions to be super easy.
Video Targets

Exam Pattern Explained
The exam will be a Computer Based Test (CBT). There will be 50 Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs), with each question carrying two marks. For every wrong answer, 0.5 marks will be deducted. The speaker also mentions that a separate video will be made to explain how the CBT exam will be conducted.
Question Types
The speaker stresses that the questions won't be like those in the CHO exam. Instead, they will be practical-based questions. Most questions will be three to four lines long, requiring candidates to read carefully before answering.
