Methodology and limitations
- Source: the 914 published questions of the 9 RUHS Medical Officer papers on this site, each filed under one subject by this site. Rajasthan University of Health Sciences does not publish an official subject-wise breakdown.
- The 2024 paper is MODRE-2024, the exam held on 27 April 2025 (source: RUHS Final Answer Key, Medical Officer Direct Recruitment Examination-2024). Papers are labelled by recruitment cycle, not by the date of the exam.
- Missing years: no paper for 2014, 2021, 2023 is available on this site, so those years are not part of the analysis.
- Not analysed yet: difficulty (not recorded reliably) and topics (topic tags are not yet complete across all years). Topic-level findings will be added only once the data supports them.
- Historical only: these patterns describe past papers and do not predict the 2026 paper. See the RUHS MO exam pattern for the official, sourced format.
