SGPGI Nursing Officer · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The SGPGIMS Nursing Officer recruitment examination is the selection test for staff nurse posts at Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences, Lucknow, advertised under Advt. I-08/1-12/Rectt/2025-26. It is aimed at registered nurses seeking a nursing officer position in a large autonomous postgraduate medical institute that also runs a College of Nursing and B.Sc. The test is a Computer Based Test delivered online in two parts: Part-A, a common section shared by all posts in the advertisement, and Part-B, the post-specific nursing section. SGPGIMS published both Part-A (common for all posts) and Part-B syllabi, and later announced that recruitment exams for Hospital Attendant and Nursing Officer would run in two stages, Preliminary Stage-I and Main Examination Stage-II. The Stage-I CBT for this advertisement was held from 19 to 25 June 2026, and raw and normalised scores for Nursing Officer were released on 07/10/2026. Topics on this exam: Part-A: Common syllabus for all posts and Part-B: Post-specific syllabus (Nursing Officer). The SGPGI Nursing Officer study guide has 2 sections and about 709 words.
01Part-A: Common Syllabus for All Posts
Part-A is the common paper for every SGPGI post. It samples general English, general awareness, reasoning, quantitative aptitude and basic computer awareness. Items are usually short and speed-sensitive, so routine accuracy matters more than deep theory. English: subject–verb agreement, tense sequence, prepositions, synonyms and antonyms, error spotting, sentence rearrangement.

Part-B assesses nursing knowledge across fundamentals of nursing, anatomy and physiology, microbiology, pharmacology, medical–surgical nursing, community health nursing, obstetrics and gynaecology, paediatrics, psychiatric nursing, and nursing management/education. Questions often test the nursing process, infection control, drug calculation, normal values and emergency response. Nursing process: assess, diagnose, plan, implement, evaluate. The diagnosis states the patient problem; interventions must be specific and measurable.
