Stage I result and cut-off
The cut-offs are from the last page of Result Notification No. 276/2026. AIIMS gives only the overall total, so the category counts below were counted row by row from its list of 12,638 roll numbers, and they add up to its total. The call-up rate is against applications, because the notice gives no category-wise attendance.
| Category | Stage II cut-off and candidates called |
|---|---|
| UR | Cut-off 95.16 percentile (PwBD 45.52). 2,144 called, 6.6% of the 32,405 who applied. |
| OBC | Cut-off 86.91 percentile (PwBD 40.64). 5,285 called, 14.2% of the 37,127 who applied. |
| EWS | Cut-off 82.24 percentile (PwBD 91.03). 1,915 called, 26.5% of the 7,222 who applied. |
| SC | Cut-off 84.19 percentile (PwBD 35.64). 2,302 called, 7.3% of the 31,388 who applied. |
| ST | Cut-off 79.71 percentile (PwBD 36.33). 992 called, 7.1% of the 13,957 who applied. |
| Overall | 1,22,099 applied, 1,00,804 appeared (82.6%), 55,967 cleared the qualifying percentile, 12,638 called. That is one in eight of those who sat the paper. |
| PwBD candidates | 116 of the 12,638 carry a PwBD marking in the list. For EWS the PwBD cut-off, 91.03, is printed higher than the general EWS cut-off of 82.24, the reverse of every other category. |
| Sealed result | One roll number sits Stage II provisionally, its Stage I result kept in a sealed cover on a CAT order in O.A. No. 3371/2026. |
Clearing the qualifying percentile was not enough. 55,967 cleared it, but only five times the seats in each category were called, so the real bar sat far above the 50, 45 and 40 percentile floors in the rules below.
Stage I and Stage II exam pattern
Both papers lock each section on a timer. Once a section closes you cannot go back to it.
| Paper detail | Stage I preliminary and Stage II Main |
|---|---|
| Duration | Stage I: 90 minutes. Stage II: 180 minutes. |
| Questions and marks | Stage I: 100 MCQs for 100 marks, 20 on general knowledge and aptitude and 80 on nursing. Stage II: 160 MCQs for 160 marks, all nursing and based on case scenarios. |
| Sections | Stage I: 5 sections of 20 questions, 18 minutes each. Stage II: 4 sections of 40 questions, 45 minutes each. |
| Negative marking | 1/3 mark off for each wrong answer in both stages. |
| Counts for rank | Stage II only. Stage I is qualifying. |
| Multiple shifts | If a paper runs in more than one shift, marks are normalised under AIIMS Notice No. 35/2023. |
Who reaches Stage II and who qualifies
Stage I uses percentiles and Stage II uses percentage marks. The two cut-offs work differently.
| Category | Stage I percentile, then Stage II percentage |
|---|---|
| UR and EWS | 50 percentile, then 50%. |
| OBC | 45 percentile, then 45%. |
| SC and ST | 40 percentile, then 40%. |
| PwBD | 5 less in each category: UR/EWS 45, OBC 40, SC/ST 35. |
| Stage II call list | Five times the seats in each of UR, OBC, SC, ST and EWS. Every qualified PwBD candidate is called, and so is anyone tied with the last person on the list. Clearing the percentile alone does not get you a call. |
Eligibility, fee and vacancy changes
Eligibility is judged as on 13.08.2026, and an admit card does not confirm it.

KSCH Hospital withdrew, so its vacancy is now nil. Addendum 38/2026 of 16.09.2026 sets the final vacancies of AIIMS Bhopal and AIIMS Mangalagiri. |
| Seats for women | 80% of seats are reserved for female candidates. |
Last checked on 25.09.2026 against AIIMS Notice No. 103/2026, Addenda 35, 37 and 38 of 2026, and Result Notification No. 276/2026 dated 18.09.2026 on the NORCET-11 page. The notice leaves institute-wise vacancies open to change, so no single total is given here.
