Frequently asked questions
Can final-year nursing students apply for NORCET-11?
Candidates must possess their qualifying degree or diploma along with valid State or Indian Nursing Council registration on or before the closing date. Those awaiting final results or council registration certificates cannot apply because document verification demands verified credentials without exception.
What is the minimum hospital bed requirement for GNM holders?
Candidates with a General Nursing and Midwifery diploma need at least two years of post-qualification clinical experience in a hospital with 50 or more registered beds. Experience gained before obtaining state nursing council registration does not count toward this requirement.
What is the negative marking scheme in the NORCET exam?
Both the preliminary and mains computer-based tests carry negative marking. For every incorrect response, one-third of the mark assigned to that question gets deducted. Unanswered questions attract neither positive nor negative marks during final score calculation.
Will NORCET scores remain valid for subsequent recruitment drives?
The NORCET-11 score and merit list remain valid exclusively for seat allocation in this specific recruitment cycle across participating institutes. Candidates must appear again in subsequent test editions if they fail to secure an appointment in this round.
How are institutes allocated to selected nursing officers?
Seat allocation proceeds strictly on candidate merit rank in NORCET-11 Mains and the institute preferences submitted during online counselling. AIIMS assigns institutions after category-wise verification of eligibility documents and reservation paperwork by the allotted center.
