The GPSC Nursing Officer Recruitment 2026 is particularly noteworthy for candidates with nursing and healthcare backgrounds.

The selection process involves a two-stage Preliminary Written Examination covering General Studies (100 marks) and the Concerned Subject (200 marks), totalling 300 marks in 180 minutes, followed by an Interview round.
