- Shortlisting Ratio: From the candidates who achieve the category-wise minimum qualifying marks, only 10 times the number of advertised posts in each category will be permitted to participate in the Main Examination.
B. Main Examination
- Final Merit: The final selection is based solely on the marks obtained in the Main Examination.
- Merit Preparation: Final selection will be executed category-wise based on merit and applicable reservation norms.
2. Computer Based Test (CBT) Structure
Both the Screening and Main examinations will follow the same syllabus and structure.
- Format: Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) only.

- Maximum Marks: 100 Marks for both exams.

- SC, ST, OBC & PWDs candidates: 40%
5. Resolution of Tie (Tie-Breaker Rules)
In instances where multiple candidates achieve equal marks in the final Main Examination, the tie will be resolved by applying the following criteria sequentially, prioritizing the first bullet point over the second, and so on:
- Total Marks of the Tied Candidates.
- Date of Birth: The candidate older in age will be placed higher on the merit list.
- Negative Marking/Wrong Answers: The candidate who recorded fewer wrong answers or negative marks will be prioritized.
- Core Subject Marks: The total marks obtained in the ‘core’ section of the examination (which accounts for 60% of the questions related to the subject syllabus) will be compared. The candidate scoring higher marks in the core section will be placed higher. (Note: The ‘core’ section will be defined by the Examination Section of Dr. RMLIMS for each exam.)

Part VII: Deep Dive into RML IMS Nursing Officer Recruitment 2025 Regulations and Cautionary Advice
1. Emphasis on Post-Qualification Compliance
It is imperative that candidates ensure they meet all stipulated eligibility criteria—including educational qualifications, experience, and age—by the final date of application submission.
- If a candidate fails to fulfill the eligibility requirements, provides incorrect information, or suppresses facts, they will be held solely responsible. The appointing authority reserves the right to cancel their eligibility at any stage of the process.
- Qualifications for which recognition is pending or in the process of being obtained will not be entertained.
- Even if a candidate is provisionally allowed to take the CBT, if they are later found to not fulfill the prescribed age, qualification, or experience criteria at the document verification or joining stage, their candidature will be treated as null and void without further notice.
2. Reservation and Domicile Clarification
Reservation policies (Vertical for SC/ST/OBC/EWS and Horizontal for PwBD, DFF, Ex-Servicemen) adhere strictly to the updated orders and directives of the Uttar Pradesh Government.
- EWS Reservation: Reservation for Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) is 10 percent of the vacant posts, admissible according to specific U.P. Government office memoranda dated 18.02.2019, 13.08.2019, and 23.10.2019.
- Non-UP Residents: Candidates from states other than Uttar Pradesh are explicitly advised to apply only against the Unreserved (UR) category vacancies, as reservation benefits are granted exclusively to UP domiciles.
3. Medical Fitness and Final Appointment
Following selection, candidates must undergo a pre-employment Medical examination.
- Medical Board Decision: No candidate will be permitted to join the post unless they are declared medically fit by the Medical Board constituted by the Institute, whose decision is final.
- Concealment of Information: Withholding information regarding current or past illness/treatment that is discovered later may result in appropriate disciplinary action, potentially including termination of appointment at any stage.
4. Caution Against Misconduct
The institute maintains strict rules against malpractice or inappropriate influence.
- Canvassing: Canvassing, or attempts to influence the selection process directly or indirectly, will lead to the disqualification of the candidature.
- Suppression of Facts: Any attempt to suppress facts or provide false information during the application process will result in disqualification. If evidence of such misconduct surfaces after selection and joining, the selected candidate’s services may be terminated.
Concluding Insight: RML IMS Nursing Officer Recruitment 2025 Preparing for the CBT Challenge
The Dr. RMLIMS Nursing Officer recruitment for 422 Group ‘B’ posts represents a highly competitive opportunity for dedicated healthcare professionals. Since the final selection hinges entirely on the Main Examination score, the two-stage CBT structure acts as a rigorous filter, ensuring only the most competent candidates proceed.
The examination blueprint, allocating 60% of the weightage to the core subject matter and 40% to General Aptitude, Reasoning, and English, emphasizes specialized knowledge while demanding general cognitive abilities. Preparing for this exam is akin to tuning a sophisticated engine: the specialized subject knowledge (the core engine) must be flawless, while the general aptitude sections (the transmission and electronics) must be efficient and reliable, as a mere 0.25 negative mark deduction for errors can significantly impact your final ranking and the resolution of potential ties. Consistent monitoring of the official website (www.drrmlims.ac.in) starting the first/second week of November 2025 will be paramount to ensure timely registration and preparation.
