How to Use Previous Year Papers Effectively (Tips)
Since previous year papers for the RSMSSB Ayush Officer Exam are not yet available, candidates can follow these best practices to prepare effectively using mock tests, sample papers, and the official syllabus:
1. Understand the Exam Pattern & Syllabus
- Thoroughly review the official syllabus (provided above) to identify high-weightage topics.
- Focus on Part-II (Professional Qualification) as it carries 270 marks (60% of the total).
- Prioritize NHM-related topics in Part-I, as they account for 60 marks.
2. Create a Study Plan
- Allocate time based on topic weightage (e.g., spend more time on Ayurveda/Homeopathy/Unani subjects).
- Dedicate 30-40% of study time to General Knowledge, NHM, and Computer Knowledge.
- Use NCERT books (Class 6-12) for General Science and History/Geography.
3. Practice with Mock Tests & Sample Papers

4. Master Negative Marking Strategy
- Avoid random guessing—only attempt questions you are 70-80% sure about.
