Selection Process

Getting selected for this post involves four steps. Here is what happens at each stage:

1. Scrutiny of Online Applications: AMC will first review all applications to check eligibility. Incomplete or ineligible applications will be rejected here.
2. Written Examination (MCQ Test): Eligible candidates appear for a Multiple Choice Question test of 100 marks. The exam is conducted in Gujarati and English.
3. Document Verification: Shortlisted candidates need to bring their original certificates including educational qualifications, registration certificates, and — most importantly — your disability certificate (minimum 40%).

Exam Pattern

The written exam is a Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) test. Here are the key details you need to know before you start preparing:

Since there is negative marking, avoid guessing randomly. It is better to leave a question blank if you are not sure, rather than lose 0.25 marks for a wrong answer.

Preparation Tips for the AMC Nurse and Pharmacist Exam

• The exam will be based on your respective subject — nursing or pharmacy. Focus on core subjects from your qualification curriculum as the question paper will test professional knowledge.
• The exam is available in both Gujarati and English. Practice reading questions in both languages so you can switch comfortably on exam day.
• You have 100 questions for 100 marks. Manage your time so you spend no more than 40–50 seconds per question on average, leaving time to review.
• There is a penalty of 0.25 marks per wrong answer. Attempt only questions you are reasonably confident about — do not guess on questions you have no idea about.
• Download the official advertisement from the AMC portal (Advertisement No. 30/2025-26, 31/2025-26, or 32/2025-26) to understand the exact syllabus for your post.
• Take at least 5–10 timed mock tests before the actual exam to build speed and reduce exam-day anxiety.
