A change is called significant only when it is at least 2 percentage points and passes a two-proportion z-test at the 95% level. For the year-by-year numbers behind this, see the previous year paper analysis.

Beyond the three largest subjects, the other 12 ever-present subjects together carried 60.0% of all questions. Individually small, together they decide most of the paper.
Subjects that rarely appear
- Psychiatry8 questions in 3/9 papers
- Respiratory Medicine6 questions in 4/9 papers
- Anesthesiology2 questions in 2/9 papers
- Dermatology2 questions in 1/9 papers
Low counts here partly reflect classification: a question that spans two subjects is filed under only one of them. These subjects are still part of the MBBS syllabus the exam draws on.
How to use subject weightage in your preparation
Set revision time, don't skip subjects
Give the largest subjects more hours, but plan every ever-present subject: at 15 subjects per paper, small subjects add up. The RUHS MO preparation strategy turns these shares into a study plan.Go from subjects to topics
Weightage tells you where questions come from, not what to read inside a subject. Use the RUHS MO syllabus with its topic-wise list to plan within each subject.Expect year-to-year swings
A subject's count varies from paper to paper (see the ranges above). Check how each year differed in the RUHS MO previous year papers, and attempt them in the exam format.Test the plan
Subject-wise practice in the question bank shows weak areas early; full-length papers in the RUHS MO mock test series show whether your coverage holds up.
Methodology and data notes
- Source: the 914 published questions of the 9 RUHS Medical Officer previous year papers on this site (2013, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2022, 2024). No paper is available here for 2014, 2021, 2023.
- Classification: each question is filed under one subject by Mock Test Series. Rajasthan University of Health Sciences does not publish an official subject-wise breakdown, so other sources may count some questions differently.
- Shares, not raw counts: papers ranged from 98 to 118 questions, so comparisons use each subject's share of the questions.
- Recent vs older: the papers are split into an older and a more recent half; a change is reported only when it is at least 2 percentage points and statistically significant (two-proportion z-test, 95%).
- Not used: question difficulty and topic tags. They are not yet complete enough across all years to analyse reliably.
- Historical only: past weightage does not guarantee the 2026 paper. Confirm the official pattern and syllabus in the official notification; see the RUHS MO exam pattern for the sourced details.
