| Subject | Duration | Questions | Marks | Negative Marking |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Health Inspector (Subject Paper) | 2 Hours | 100 | 100 | No |
- The question paper will be set in both English and Tamil.
- Minimum qualifying marks in this CBT are 35% for Others and 30% for SC/SCA/ST.
COVID-19 Duty Incentive Marks
Candidates who served in Government Medical Institutions during the COVID-19 pandemic and have a valid certificate will be awarded incentive marks. These marks will be added to your CBT score.

- 12+ to 18 months of duty: 3 marks
- 18+ to 24 months of duty: 4 marks
- Above 24 months of duty: 5 marks
Final Selection
