Understanding the NORCET 10 Examination Pattern

The NORCET 10 will likely follow the two-stage process (Prelims and Mains) introduced in recent cycles. The exam heavily prioritizes clinical scenarios and decision-making skills.

• Stage 1 (Prelims): A qualifying round focusing on general knowledge, aptitude, and basic nursing subjects.
• Stage 2 (Mains): A merit-based exam focused on scenario-based nursing skills and practical knowledge.
• Negative Marking: Candidates should be cautious as the exam follows a 1/3rd negative marking policy for every incorrect answer.

What After Registration?

Once the registration window closes, AIIMS will provide a brief correction window for candidates to edit specific fields. Following this, the focus will shift to the release of the admit cards. Candidates are encouraged to begin intensive preparation using the AIIMS Case-Study based syllabus, as the NORCET 10 is expected to have a higher difficulty level to match the increasing standards of specialized patient care in 2026.
