AIIMS NORCET 11 Stage II, or the final result, was declared today, October 10, but surprisingly, 10,613 candidates qualified. Although 10,613 candidates have qualified, not all of them will receive appointment letters. If the reported total of 2,216 Nursing Officer vacancies is correct, qualified candidates outnumber vacancies by nearly 3.8 times.
The important distinction is that qualifying AIIMS NORCET 11 Stage II makes a candidate eligible for institute allocation; it does not guarantee appointment.
The final selection will be made through online allocation based on merit and candidates’ choices, subject to institute-specific eligibility and document verification.
Who has the best chance of receiving an appointment letter?
- Higher-ranked candidates: Generally have a better chance of getting their preferred institute, provided they meet its eligibility criteria.
- Candidates within the first 2,813 ranks: Have a stronger numerical position if 2,813 is the confirmed vacancy count, but appointment is not guaranteed.
- Candidates ranked below 2,813: May still receive an allocation depending on category-wise vacancies, reservation, and institute preferences; their chances cannot be determined from the total alone.
- All qualified candidates: Must participate in the prescribed online choice-filling and allocation process.
AIIMS has scheduled publication of the final seat position and allocation procedure for 30 October 2026, with choice filling from 30 October to 6 November 2026, until 5:00 PM.
