The HPRCA notification says that HPRCA may issue a detailed syllabus on its official website later. Therefore, a precise subject-wise distribution such as “80 Nursing + 40 General” is not given in the uploaded notification and should not be assumed.

What to Prepare

For Nursing, focus on the full GNM/B.Sc. Nursing-level syllabus, particularly:

- Fundamentals of Nursing

- Child Health/Pediatric Nursing
- Mental Health/Psychiatric Nursing

First, compare the subject list with your revision notes. Then use our free nursing practice tests to identify topics that need more work. Read each explanation after answering and keep a short list of mistakes to revisit. General practice questions support revision, but the official notice remains the source for the test scheme.
