AIIMS NORCET 11 admit card: The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, has released the admit card for the Nursing Officer Recruitment Common Eligibility Test (NORCET) 11 on September 9, 2026. Candidates can download their hall ticket through the official AIIMS examinations website, aiimsexams.ac.in.
The NORCET Stage-I examination is scheduled to be conducted on September 12, just three days after the admit card release, leaving candidates a short window to complete their final preparations and verify their exam details before heading to their allotted centre.

How to Download the AIIMS NORCET 11 Admit Card

- Visit the official AIIMS examination website — aiimsexams.ac.in
- Open the NORCET 11 Examination section
- Click on the Admit Card link

- Take a printout for use on exam day
The admit card contains essential details such as the candidate’s name, roll number, examination centre, venue address, reporting instructions, and other exam-day guidelines.

AIIMS NORCET 11 Exam
NORCET 11 is conducted in two stages, each serving a distinct purpose in the overall selection process.
Stage-I (Screening) — September 12
- Computer-based test
- 100 multiple-choice questions for 100 marks
- Duration: 90 minutes
- Composition: 80 questions from nursing subjects, 20 from general knowledge and aptitude
- Negative marking: One-third mark deducted for each incorrect answer
- Stage-I is qualifying in nature — marks from this stage are not counted toward the final merit list
Stage-II (Mains) — September 30
- 160 multiple-choice questions
- Duration: 180 minutes
- Focused entirely on nursing subjects
- Marks from this stage determine the final merit list
Only candidates who qualify Stage-I will be eligible to appear for Stage-II, making the screening round an important first hurdle despite not contributing to the final ranking.
What Candidates Should Do Now
With just two days between the admit card release and the Stage-I exam, candidates are advised to act quickly rather than wait until the last moment. Key steps include:
- Downloading and verifying the admit card immediately after release
- Confirming the exam centre location and planning travel well in advance, factoring in any city traffic or transport delays
- Carrying a valid photo ID along with the printed admit card to the centre
- Reviewing the exam pattern carefully, especially the negative marking rule, before attempting the paper on exam day
Given the compressed timeline between admit card release and the exam date, even small delays in verifying details or planning logistics could create unnecessary last-minute stress for candidates.
