AIIMS NORCET 11 Mains result expected today, 2,216 nursing officer vacancies

The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, is expected to announce the NORCET 11 Mains result around 10 October 2026. As of 9 October 2026, AIIMS had not published the Stage-II result or an official release date on its website, aiimsexams.ac.in.

This recruitment drive is for 2,216 Nursing Officer (Group-B) positions across various Central Government hospitals and AIIMS institutes nationwide. The Mains examination, which determines the merit list, was completed on 30 September 2026.

NORCET 11 Mains Result Release and Access

While education portals anticipate the NORCET 11 Mains result around 10 October 2026, AIIMS has not confirmed this date. Historically, previous NORCET Mains results were not published on weekends, and 10 October 2026 falls on a Saturday. The average gap between the Mains exam and result for NORCET 8, 9, and 10 was seven days, ranging from four to eleven days. If NORCET 11 followed the average gap, the result would have been released on 7 October 2026.

Candidates should regularly check the official portal, aiimsexams.ac.in, under the Notices section, Key Dates section, or the NORCET-11 recruitment page for the Stage-II result notice. The AIIMS AERA app is also listed on the portal for accessing results. AIIMS has clarified that it never asks for payment to display results.

Examination Structure and Candidate Participation

The NORCET 11 recruitment process involved two stages: a Prelims (Stage-I) exam and a Mains (Stage-II) exam. The Stage-I examination was held on 12 September 2026, with 1,00,804 candidates appearing. The Stage-I result was released on 18 September 2026, with 55,967 candidates qualifying. Later, 12,638 candidates were called for the Stage-II exam, which was conducted on 30 September 2026.

The NORCET 11 Mains paper consisted of 160 questions for 160 marks, to be completed in 180 minutes, with a 1/3 negative marking for incorrect answers. The merit list for selection will be prepared solely based on performance in the Stage-II examination. Qualifying in Mains does not guarantee selection; it depends on the candidate’s merit rank against the available vacancies.

Vacancies and Eligibility Criteria

The AIIMS NORCET 11 recruitment drive aims to fill 2,216 Nursing Officer (Group-B) posts. This figure is lower than the 2,779 vacancies in NORCET 10, where 13,963 candidates had qualified. The pay scale for the Nursing Officer position is Level 07 (Rs. 9300-34800 with GP Rs. 4600/-).

To be eligible for the post, candidates must be Indian citizens, typically aged between 18 and 30 years (with age relaxations applicable as per official notification), and possess a B.Sc Nursing qualification. A minimum of two years of experience is also required for B.Sc Nursing candidates. Candidates must also be medically fit as per AIIMS standards.
