Rajasthan ANM 2026
● SESSION 2026-27 — MERIT-BASED RAJASTHAN · MERIT-BASED ADMISSIONLast updated — Oct 2026 · checked against the official DMHS / RSMSSB, Rajasthan notification
Rajasthan ANM works differently from most states: admission to the ANM (Mahila Swasthya Karyakarta) training course has NO entrance exam — selection is on 10+2 merit through the Department of Medical & Health Services (DMHS / Rajswasthya), which issued the instruction letter for session 2026-27 on 28 July 2026. The 2026-27 training window reportedly ran from 24 August to 7 September 2026 (now closed) with counselling on 29 September 2026; the application was an offline form with a ₹20 postal order. Separately, ANM jobs in Rajasthan come through RSMSSB/RSSB recruitments (Mahila Swasthya Karyakarta) — the 2023 contractual recruitment (3,058 posts) is complete and its final recommendation has been issued, and the NHM/RajMES 2025 Female Health Worker recruitment (159 posts) is at the document-verification stage.

Rajasthan ANM Eligibility
In plain words — for the ANM training course (per the official instruction letter).
Only female candidates can apply. You need 10+2 from a recognised board — for ANM, any stream is accepted (Science preference rules, where printed, are in the session notice). Age must be 17–34 years: born between 31 December 1991 and 31 December 2009. Selection is purely on your 10+2 percentage — there is no written test for training admission.

Rajasthan ANM Exam Pattern
There is no exam pattern for training admission — this is the actual selection flow.

| Merit list | Prepared on 10+2 marks |
