The Indian Army has its own Hospitals and Polyclinics. All kinds of specialists are present in Army Hospitals. Each Hospital and Polyclinic requires Nursing Assistants to assist the Doctors, look after the patients, work in the Operation Theaters, Account for medicines in the medical stores and administer first aid. Indian Army require dedicated candidates with a science background with Biology to be enrolled as Soldier Nursing Assistant. The Indian Army Soldier (Nursing Assistant) Examination Pattern and Syllabus are given below.
Soldier (Nursing Assistant) Examination Pattern:-
The Join Indian Army Common Written Examination (CEE) for Soldier Nursing Assistant conducted for maximum 200 marks and Comprising of 50 Objective type Questions from General Knowledge, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics and Physics.
