How Supriya Mahesh Secured Selection in RRB Nursing Superintendent 2024 with PW

Supriya Mahesh has secured selection for RRB Nursing Superintendent 2024 from the Mumbai Zone. Her journey is especially motivating because she prepared for the Railway exam while also preparing for NORCET. Instead of following a completely separate strategy for RRB, she built a strong foundation in nursing and added non-nursing preparation to meet the Railway exam requirements.

A B.Sc. Nursing graduate from Mumbai, Supriya completed her degree in 2023 and worked for around four months before starting her exam preparation. She began preparing for NORCET in April 2024 and became more serious about her studies from July. After appearing for NORCET 7, she continued her preparation for NORCET 8.

When the RRB notification was released, she also applied for the Railway exam. Her preparation was primarily based on PW Nursing Wallah, where she followed the Nightingale Regular 2.0 batch, prepared detailed notes, solved DPPs, practised MCQs, and revised repeatedly.

Supriya Prepared for RRB Nursing Superintendent Alongside NORCET

Supriya did not follow a completely different preparation plan for RRB Nursing Superintendent. Since the nursing syllabus was common, she focused mainly on completing and revising her nursing subjects.

She also understood that non-nursing subjects could make a difference in the Railway exam. Therefore, she practised areas such as reasoning, mathematics, and general knowledge alongside her nursing preparation.

Talking about her strategy, Supriya explained:

“Railways ka aise kuch alag se preparation nahi kiya tha ma’am, kyunki NORCET aur Railway ke nursing syllabus mein kaafi cheezein same hoti hain.”

She further highlighted that non-nursing preparation helped her in the Railway examination.

Supriya Followed PW Nursing Wallah’s Nightingale Regular 2.0 Batch

Supriya discovered PW Nursing Wallah through YouTube. She liked the teaching approach and eventually enrolled in the Nightingale Regular 2.0 batch.

She followed the classes consistently and made notes while attending the lectures. These notes later became her primary revision source.

“Saare classes wahan se kiye, jo bhi classes hote the regular. Matlab ek bhi class skip nahi kiya hai. Full notes banati thi.”

After completing the syllabus, she did not spend most of her time searching for new books or teachers. Instead, she revised the notes she had prepared and used MCQs to strengthen her understanding.

Supriya Believed in Following One Reliable Study Source

One of the important lessons from Supriya’s preparation is the importance of avoiding too many resources.

She believed that repeatedly switching between teachers and study materials can create confusion. Instead, students should trust a reliable source and follow it properly.

“Teacher tum jis teacher se padh rahe ho, us teacher pe tumhe 100% trust rakhna padega.”

For Supriya, PW Nursing Wallah remained her primary source for nursing preparation. She used the classes and notes for theory and focused separately on MCQ practice.

Supriya Practised Up to 1,000 MCQs Daily

MCQ practice became one of the strongest parts of Supriya’s preparation. In the final month before her NORCET exam, she significantly increased her question-solving practice and reached around 1,000 MCQs a day.

However, she clarified that she did not suddenly start solving 1,000 questions daily. She gradually increased her practice from around 200–300 questions and reached the higher target during the final month.

She also focused on her mistakes. Questions that she answered incorrectly were marked and revised again.

“Jo wrong hota hai usko tick karke rakhiye aur phir baad mein phir se uska revision kariye.”

This helped her identify repeated mistakes and improve her accuracy.

Revision Was a Major Part of Her Strategy

After completing the syllabus, Supriya created a revision plan based on the importance of different subjects. She allocated more days to major nursing subjects and fewer days to comparatively smaller subjects.

She also followed a spaced revision approach, revisiting topics at different intervals.

Her strategy focused on making sure that completing the syllabus was not the final step. Revision and question practice were equally important.

She said:

“First day, third day, fifth day and tenth day pe revision karo, toh achhe se hota hai.”

This repeated revision helped her retain concepts and recall information more effectively during the exam.

Supriya Used DPPs and PW Tests Regularly

Along with lectures and notes, Supriya regularly solved Daily Practice Problems (DPPs) and tests available on PW.

She found DPPs useful because they could be completed quickly and helped her maintain regular question-solving practice.

Her preparation included:

• PW video lectures

• Class notes

• DPPs

• MCQ practice

• Test practice

• Repeated revision

• Non-nursing preparation

This combination helped her cover both conceptual learning and exam-oriented practice.

Supriya Studied for 10–12 Hours a Day

During her focused preparation period, Supriya studied for approximately 10 to 12 hours daily. Around 6–8 hours could go into lectures, while another 3–4 hours were used for revision and self-study.

However, her journey shows that simply increasing study hours is not enough. She used those hours for a combination of learning, revision, MCQs, and mistake analysis.

Non-Nursing Preparation Helped Supriya in the Railway Exam

Supriya specifically highlighted the importance of non-nursing subjects for RRB Nursing Superintendent aspirants.

She practised reasoning, mathematics, general knowledge, national parks, blood relations, seating arrangement, and other non-nursing areas.

She used PW classes for non-nursing preparation and also referred to YouTube for quick tricks and shortcuts for specific question types.

“Nursing ka toh sabhi karte hain... agar tumhe wahi top mein aana hai toh non-nursing pe bhi focus karna padega.”

According to her, non-nursing can provide an additional advantage because most candidates focus heavily on nursing.

Supriya Attempted Around 71–72 Questions

In the Railway examination, Supriya attempted approximately 71–72 questions, of which around 10–11 were incorrect.

Her experience made her emphasise the importance of accuracy and negative marking. She advised candidates not to attempt questions simply because they wanted to increase their attempt count.

Her strategy was simple:

Read the question carefully → understand the options → attempt if confident → skip if unsure.

She explained:

“Agar nahi aa raha hai toh bilkul bhi woh question ko... nahi karna hai. Agar tumhe nahi aata hai toh chhod do.”

Supriya Used Online Learning to Study Comfortably

Online learning was another advantage for Supriya. She could attend classes from home without spending time travelling to an offline coaching centre.

Recorded lectures also allowed her to study according to her schedule and adjust the playback speed when required.

“Online mein... recorded rehte hain. Tumhe kitna speed pe dekhna hai woh bhi kar sakte ho.”

This flexibility helped her manage lectures, revision, and practice according to her preparation needs.

Supriya Managed Social Media Distractions

Supriya acknowledged that YouTube can provide a lot of useful study material, but it can also become a major source of distraction.

Her advice was to use additional online content only when a topic was unclear or when she needed information that was not covered in her primary source.

“Jo tumhe nahi pata hai, jo tumhe knowledge nahi hai, wahi cheez tum social media se karo.”

She recommended avoiding unnecessary videos and repeated content because too many sources can create confusion.

Supriya’s Advice to Future RRB Nursing Superintendent Aspirants

Supriya’s advice to future aspirants is straightforward: follow one reliable source, complete your nursing concepts, practice MCQs, revise repeatedly, and work on accuracy.

For Railway exams, she also recommends giving adequate attention to non-nursing subjects.

Her journey demonstrates that students do not necessarily need dozens of books and resources. A focused strategy based on PW classes, notes, DPPs, MCQs, tests, revision, and non-nursing practice can help build a strong preparation routine.

Supriya Mahesh’s RRB Nursing Superintendent 2024 journey reflects a focused approach built around consistent learning and regular practice. Preparing alongside NORCET, she used PW Nursing Wallah as her primary source, revised her notes, practised questions, and also worked on non-nursing areas required for the Railway exam.

Her experience also highlights an important exam-day lesson: attempting questions carefully and prioritising accuracy can be more useful than chasing a high attempt count.

For future aspirants, Supriya’s journey offers a practical takeaway: choose a reliable preparation source, revise consistently, practise questions, analyse mistakes, and prepare according to the complete exam requirements.
