What is AIIMS BSc Nursing?
AIIMS BSc Nursing is a national-level entrance exam conducted by All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi for admission to nursing degree programmes across AIIMS campuses in India. The exam is held once a year, usually in June, in Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode. It is one of the most respected nursing entrance exams in the country because a nursing degree from any AIIMS carries significant value in India’s healthcare sector.
The exam covers two distinct programmes:
- BSc (Hons.) Nursing — 4 years: Open to Class 12 pass-outs with Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and English. This undergraduate nursing degree prepares you for clinical nursing practice and advanced studies.
- Post Basic BSc Nursing — 2 years: Open to General Nursing and Midwifery (GNM) diploma holders who are registered as nurses and midwives with a State Nursing Council. This programme bridges the GNM diploma to a full degree qualification.
AIIMS New Delhi centrally manages the admissions process for all 19 participating AIIMS institutes. You apply once, sit one exam, and can be allotted a seat at any participating campus based on your rank and choice. In 2026, the seat pool had over 1,366 BSc (Hons.) Nursing seats across all 19 campuses combined.
The BSc (Hons.) Nursing paper has 100 MCQs in 2 hours, covering Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and General Knowledge at the Class 11 and 12 NCERT level. There is negative marking of 1/3 mark per wrong answer. All questions are in English.

AIIMS BSc Nursing 2027 Exam Pattern
The AIIMS BSc Nursing 2027 exam pattern is expected to follow the same structure as in 2026. There are two separate entrance tests — one for BSc (Hons.) Nursing and one for Post Basic BSc Nursing — held on different dates. Understanding the pattern in detail helps you build the right strategy for your preparation.
BSc (Hons.) Nursing — Exam Pattern
| Particulars | Details |
|---|---|
| Exam Mode | Computer-Based Test (CBT) |
| Duration | 2 hours (120 minutes) |
| Total Questions | 100 Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) |
| Total Marks | 100 |
| Marks for Correct Answer | +1 mark |
| Penalty for Wrong Answer | −1/3 mark (negative marking) |
| Penalty for Unattempted Question | None |
| Language | English only |
Subject-Wise Question Distribution — BSc (Hons.) Nursing
| Subject | Number of Questions | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| Physics | 30 | 30 |
| Chemistry | 30 | 30 |
| Biology | 30 | 30 |
| General Knowledge | 10 | 10 |
| Total | 100 | 100 |
Post Basic BSc Nursing — Exam Pattern
The Post Basic programme uses a two-stage selection process:
- Stage 1 — Written Test: 70 MCQs, each carrying 1 mark. Questions are based on nursing science concepts from the GNM curriculum, including anatomy, physiology, community health, and medical-surgical nursing, along with general awareness. The exam is in CBT mode.
- Stage 2 — Personal Assessment: 30 marks. This is an interview and evaluation round held for shortlisted candidates from Stage 1. AIIMS assesses communication skills, professional knowledge, and aptitude for advanced nursing education.
Physics, Chemistry, and Biology together carry 90 out of 100 marks in the BSc (Hons.) exam. The General Knowledge section contributes only 10 marks, but in a competitive exam these marks can differentiate two candidates. You should not skip it.
Negative marking applies in the BSc (Hons.) exam — 1/3 mark deducted per wrong answer. Skip questions you are unsure about rather than guessing randomly.

AIIMS New Delhi is the most competitive campus. In 2026, the Round 1 closing rank at AIIMS Delhi was around 74 for the UR category and around 4,936 for the ST category. This means AIIMS Delhi seats go only to the top rankers in each category. If you specifically want AIIMS Delhi, aim for a top-100 rank in your category.
The qualifying cutoff percentage for AIIMS BSc Nursing 2027 is expected to remain at 50% (UR/EWS), 45% (OBC), and 40% (SC/ST). Actual closing ranks depend on total applicants and exam difficulty, so they may vary from the 2026 figures.
AIIMS BSc Nursing 2027 Counselling and Seat Allotment
AIIMS BSc Nursing counselling is done entirely online through the AIIMS seat allotment portal. There is no physical counselling you need to attend during the choice-filling phase. After the result, eligible ranked candidates register on the portal, fill in institute preferences in order of priority, and receive seat allotments based on rank.

How to Prepare for AIIMS BSc Nursing 2027
With the 2027 exam expected in June 2027, you have roughly 8 months from now (October 2026) to prepare. The AIIMS BSc Nursing exam is highly competitive — over 1,366 seats attract a very large number of applicants each year, and you need a good rank to get your preferred campus. A disciplined study plan anchored in NCERT, combined with regular MCQ practice, gives you the best chance.
Subject-Wise Strategy
- Biology — 30 marks (highest importance): Spend the most time here. Biology is both the highest-scoring and most familiar subject for nursing aspirants. Read NCERT Class 11 and 12 Biology cover to cover. Focus on Human Physiology (every chapter), Genetics, Reproduction, and Biotechnology. Draw diagrams repeatedly — they lock in concepts. After finishing NCERT, use MCQ practice books for nursing or NEET Biology.
- Chemistry — 30 marks: Start with NCERT Class 12, especially Organic Chemistry, Biomolecules, Polymers, and Chemistry in Everyday Life. These chapters are directly relevant to healthcare and appear frequently. For Class 11, Equilibrium and Chemical Bonding are important. Solve chapter-wise MCQs after finishing each topic.
- Physics — 30 marks: Physics is the most challenging subject for many nursing aspirants. Prioritize Current Electricity, Electrostatics, and Optics from Class 12 NCERT. From Class 11, Waves and Thermodynamics appear regularly. Work through numerical problems from NCERT examples and exercises daily.
- General Knowledge — 10 marks: Read one current affairs source every day for 10–15 minutes. Focus on health and science news, government health schemes, WHO updates, sports, and national awards. A monthly current affairs digest or app is enough.
Month-Wise Preparation Plan
- October 2026 – January 2027: Complete NCERT once for all three science subjects. Make brief chapter notes as you go. Do not rush — a thorough first reading saves revision time later.
- February – March 2027: Move to topic-wise MCQ practice. Aim for at least 50 MCQs per subject per day. Track and carefully review every wrong answer.
- April – May 2027: Take full-length mock tests every weekend — 100 questions in 120 minutes. Analyze each test thoroughly. Spend weekdays working on weak topics surfaced by the tests.
- June 2027 — Last 3 Weeks: Pure revision only. No new topics. Revise notes, practice previous year questions, and keep General Knowledge updated to the last moment.

Exam-Day Tips
- In 120 minutes for 100 questions, you have about 72 seconds per question. Move quickly from anything you are unsure of — come back at the end.
- Negative marking is 1/3 per wrong answer — skip questions where you cannot confidently eliminate at least two options.
- Reach the exam centre at least 30 minutes before the gate closes. Carry your printed admit card and a valid photo ID.
- Read each question completely before choosing — NCERT-based questions sometimes use tricky phrasing that changes the answer.

Ans. To qualify for the AIIMS BSc Nursing merit list, you must score at least 50% marks in the entrance exam if you are in the UR or EWS category. OBC (NCL) candidates need 45%, and SC/ST candidates need 40%. Scoring above the qualifying cutoff places you on the merit list but does not guarantee a seat — your rank in the merit list determines whether you get an allotment during counselling.
Ques. When will AIIMS BSc Nursing 2027 registration open?
Ans. The AIIMS BSc Nursing 2027 registration is expected to begin in the last week of March 2027 on aiimsexams.ac.in. In 2026, the window was open from March 25 to May 10 — a period of about 46 days. You should keep an eye on the official website from early March 2027 for the notification and registration link.
Ques. How is AIIMS BSc Nursing counselling done?
Ans. AIIMS BSc Nursing counselling is entirely online through the AIIMS seat allotment portal. After the result, eligible candidates register, fill institute preferences by priority, and receive seat allotments by rank. In 2026, there were at least two rounds (August 10 and August 22). Choice filling for Round 1 was the only window — Round 2 uses the same choices automatically. Allotted candidates then physically report to their AIIMS campus for document verification and admission.
Ques. Is there negative marking in the AIIMS BSc Nursing exam?
Ans. Yes. For every wrong answer in the BSc (Hons.) exam, 1/3 of a mark is deducted. Unattempted questions carry no penalty. You should not guess randomly — only attempt questions where you can reasonably eliminate at least two of the four options. Smart, selective attempts give a better score than attempting everything blindly.
Ques. Can I get admission to AIIMS New Delhi through this exam?
Ans. Yes, AIIMS New Delhi is one of the 19 participating institutes and had 96 BSc (Hons.) Nursing seats in 2026. It is the most competitive campus. In 2026, the Round 1 closing rank at AIIMS Delhi was around rank 74 for the UR category. If your goal is specifically AIIMS Delhi, aim to be among the top 100 rankers in your category. Candidates with slightly lower ranks can still get excellent campuses like AIIMS Bhopal, Bhubaneswar, or Rishikesh.
Ques. What is the difference between BSc (Hons.) Nursing and Post Basic BSc Nursing at AIIMS?
Ans. The BSc (Hons.) Nursing is a 4-year undergraduate programme open to Class 12 pass-outs with PCB. It leads to a full nursing degree and suits students entering nursing directly after school. The Post Basic BSc Nursing is a 2-year programme open only to GNM diploma holders who are already registered nurses. It upgrades your qualification from diploma to degree level. Both programmes have separate entrance exams on different dates, different seat counts, and different eligibility criteria.
