The Rajasthan University of Health Sciences (RUHS) conducted the Entrance Examination 2019 for admission to various undergraduate paramedical courses offered by affiliated colleges across the state. This examination serves as a crucial gateway for aspiring paramedical professionals seeking quality education and training in healthcare support services.
The RUHS Paramedical UG Entrance Examination 2019 was designed to assess the knowledge and aptitude of candidates in basic sciences relevant to paramedical disciplines. The examination followed a structured pattern to test students' understanding of fundamental concepts in Biology, Physics, and Chemistry.
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Examination Mode | Offline (Pen and Paper Based) |
| Duration | 2 Hours (120 minutes) |
| Language of Question Paper | English |
| Total Questions | 100 |
| Maximum Marks | 100 |
| Marking Scheme | +1 for correct answer, no negative marking |
| Subject | Number of Questions | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| Biology | 40 | 40 |
| Physics | 30 | 30 |
| Chemistry | 30 | 30 |
| Total | 100 | 100 |
The Biology section carried the highest weightage with 40 questions out of 100. It covered both Botany and Zoology components. Key topics included:
The Physics section comprised 30 questions testing fundamental concepts with particular emphasis on:
The Chemistry section consisted of 30 questions covering organic, inorganic, and physical chemistry:
The 2019 question paper maintained a moderate difficulty level with a balanced distribution of concepts. Approximately 30% of questions were considered easy, 50% moderate, and 20% relatively challenging. The paper effectively tested conceptual understanding alongside factual knowledge.
Q1 (Biology): Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of prokaryotic cells?
a) Presence of cell wall
b) Absence of membrane-bound organelles
c) Presence of circular DNA
d) Presence of true nucleus
Answer: d) Presence of true nucleus
Explanation: Prokaryotic cells lack a true nucleus; instead, their DNA is located in a nucleoid region. They also lack membrane-bound organelles but typically have a cell wall and circular DNA.
Q2 (Physics): A concave mirror produces a real image of an object placed at:
a) At the focus
b) Between the pole and focus
c) Beyond the center of curvature
d) At the center of curvature
Answer: c) Beyond the center of curvature
Explanation: A concave mirror produces a real image when the object is placed beyond the focal point. When the object is placed beyond the center of curvature, a diminished real and inverted image is formed between the focus and center of curvature.
Q3 (Chemistry): The electronic configuration of Calcium (Ca) with atomic number 20 is:
a) 1s2s2p3s3p
b) 1s2s2p3s3p4s
c) 1s2s2p3s3p3d
d) 1s2s2p3s3p4s4p
Answer: b) 1s2s2p3s3p4s
Explanation: Calcium has 20 electrons. According to the aufbau principle, electrons fill lower energy levels first. The 4s orbital fills before the 3d orbital, so calcium's electronic configuration is 1s2s2p3s3p4s.
The successful candidates of the RUHS Paramedical UG Entrance Examination 2019 gained eligibility for admission to diploma and degree courses including:
Based on the 2019 question paper analysis, the following preparation advice can be valuable for future candidates:
The RUHS Paramedical UG Entrance Examination 2019 was a well-structured assessment that tested candidates' basic science knowledge essential for paramedical education. A balanced preparation strategy focusing on all three subjects, with additional emphasis on Biology, would have helped candidates perform well. Aspiring paramedical professionals should develop a strong foundation in these subjects to excel in both the entrance examination and their subsequent paramedical education.
