The Nursing Officer Recruitment Common Eligibility Test (NORCET) is conducted by AIIMS New Delhi to recruit Nursing Officers across all AIIMS institutions and other participating central government hospitals. It is one of India's most competitive nursing recruitment exams, attracting lakhs of B.Sc and GNM nursing graduates every year.
NORCET 2026 is held in two stages — a Preliminary screening test followed by a Mains examination. Both are computer-based (CBT) with multiple-choice questions and negative marking. Strong conceptual clarity in Medical-Surgical Nursing and Pharmacology, combined with consistent timed practice, is the key to clearing the cutoff.
| Stage | Questions | Duration | Marking |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prelims (CBT) | 200 MCQs | 180 minutes | +1 correct, −⅓ wrong |
| Mains (CBT) | 200 MCQs | 180 minutes | +1 correct, −⅓ wrong |
~85–90% of questions are from core nursing subjects; the remaining are General Knowledge, Aptitude and Computer Awareness. Speed and accuracy matter — practising under timed conditions is essential.
