AIIMS NORCET — eligibility, two-stage scheme, quotas & fees

AIIMS New Delhi invites applications for NORCET to recruit Nursing Officers at Level 7 of the pay matrix (pre-revised Pay Band-2, ₹9,300 – 34,800 with ₹4,600 grade pay), Group B, for AIIMS New Delhi and the other AIIMS against the vacancies each institute reports. The Examination Section only conducts the test — appointment is decided by each participating institute. [1]

NORCET-11 carries separate advertisements for AIIMS New Delhi and other AIIMS, JIPMER, ESIC, CIP Ranchi, other central government hospitals in Delhi, and NITRD. [2]

NORCET-11 calendar [1]

• Route I: B.Sc. (Hons) Nursing / B.Sc. Nursing, or B.Sc. (Post-Certificate) / Post-Basic B.Sc. Nursing, from an INC / State Nursing Council recognised institute or university, and registration as Nurse & Midwife with a State / Indian Nursing Council.
• Route II: Diploma in General Nursing Midwifery (GNM) from a recognised institute, registration as Nurse & Midwife, and two years' experience in a hospital of at least 50 beds, gained after the qualification and registration.
• Qualification, registration and experience must all be complete by the closing date of registration. [1]

Age limit 18 – 30 years on the closing date, with relaxation [1]

NORCET-11 two-stage scheme [1]

• PwBD candidates get a further 5 percentile (Stage I) or 5% (Stage II) relaxation in every category.
• Stage II calls 5 times the seats in each category from Stage I qualifiers, plus all qualified PwBD candidates and ties at the cut-off.
• Sections open one at a time and lock when their time ends. Multi-shift papers are normalised under AIIMS Notice No. 35/2023.
• Mains ties: fewer wrong answers in Stage II, then Stage I score, then fewer wrong answers in Stage I, then age (older first). [1]

• At the participating AIIMS, 80% of seats are reserved for women and 20% for men (decision of the 4th CIB meeting, 27 July 2019).
• PwBD reservation applies horizontally across categories; the post is identified for OL, AAV, Dw and LC candidates with 40% or more benchmark disability.
• SC / ST / OBC candidates who use age relaxation are considered only for their category's reserved seats.
• OBC-NCL certificates must be in the central format, valid for 2026-27 and issued between 1 Apr 2026 and 13 Aug 2026. [1]

After Stage II, qualified and eligible candidates fill choices of institutes. There is generally one allocation round, in merit order; a candidate who does not join an allotted seat loses the candidature, and there is no waiting list because NORCET is held twice a year. [1]

NORCET-11 application fee [1]

• Apply online only at aiimsexams.ac.in; earlier applicants must use their old ID / One Time Registration.
• Pay by debit card, credit card or net banking; the fee is not refunded — except that SC / ST candidates who sit the exam get it back after the result, on certificate verification.
• Government employees must upload a No Objection Certificate by the notified date. [1]

Selected candidates join as Nursing Officers in Group B at Level 7, with the usual allowances of central government servants of similar status in the institute's city. Allocation follows NORCET merit, the choices filled and each institute's recruitment rules. [1]
