Eligibility Criteria

Candidates must:

Have qualified the AIIMS B.Sc (Hons.) Nursing Entrance Examination 2026.
Meet the minimum eligibility criteria (educational qualification and age limit) prescribed in the official AIIMS Nursing information bulletin.
Complete counselling registration within the choice-filling window (by 6 August 2026).
Fulfil all reservation-category and document-verification requirements applicable to their category.

How to Complete AIIMS B.Sc Nursing Choice Filling

Visit the official AIIMS examination website aiimsexams.ac.in (or the dedicated nursing courses portal bsccourses.aiimsexams.ac.in).
Log in using your Registration/RUC number and password.
Open the Online Seat Allocation dashboard.
View the current seat matrix for all 19 participating AIIMS campuses.
Select your preferred AIIMS institutes and arrange them in order of preference.
Save your selected options — you can edit and reorder choices any number of times before the deadline.
Lock your final choices before 6 August 2026. If you don’t lock manually, the portal automatically locks your last-saved choices at the deadline.
Download and print the confirmation page.

Tip: Don’t limit yourself to only your top 2–3 preferences. Fill in every AIIMS campus you’d realistically consider attending — many candidates miss out on a seat simply because they filled too few choices.

AIIMS B.Sc Nursing Seat Allotment Process

Seat allotment is prepared based on:

Entrance exam merit rank
Category (reservation applies at 27% OBC, along with SC/ST/EWS/PwD as per government norms)
Institute preferences filled by the candidate
Seat availability at each campus
Document verification status

Allotment is purely merit-and-preference driven — candidates with higher rank and a well-ordered choice list get priority for their preferred campuses.

Documents Required for Admission

AIIMS B.Sc Nursing Admit Card
AIIMS Result/Rank Card
Counselling registration slip
Seat allotment letter
Class 10 certificate
Class 12 marksheet
Transfer Certificate (TC)
Character certificate
Aadhaar Card
Passport-size photographs
Category certificate (if applicable)
PwD certificate (if applicable)

AIIMS B.Sc Nursing Admission Process

Step 1

Complete counselling registration and choice filling before 6 August 2026.

Step 2

Lock your final institute preferences.

Step 3

Check the Round 1 seat allotment result once declared.

Step 4

Download the allotment letter from the portal.

Step 5

Accept the allotted seat online within the specified window.

Step 6

Report to the allotted AIIMS institute and complete document verification.

Step 7

Pay the admission fee and confirm your admission.

Note: If you don’t manually accept and complete formalities within the given timeline, the allotted seat can be cancelled — so track deadlines closely once Round 1 results are out.

AIIMS Institutes Participating in Counselling 2026

Seats are distributed across 19 participating AIIMS campuses, including:

AIIMS New Delhi
AIIMS Bhopal
AIIMS Bhubaneswar
AIIMS Jodhpur
AIIMS Patna
AIIMS Raipur
AIIMS Rishikesh
AIIMS Nagpur
AIIMS Kalyani
AIIMS Gorakhpur
AIIMS Deoghar
AIIMS Bibinagar
AIIMS Guwahati
Other participating AIIMS institutes as listed in the official seat matrix

Newer AIIMS campuses are sometimes overlooked by candidates chasing only the older, well-known institutes — but they offer the same government-funded training and degree, and often have more favourable closing ranks.

Counselling Fee

Category	Fee
General/OBC/EWS	As per official notification
SC/ST/PwD	As per official notification (concessional rate where applicable)

What If You Don’t Get a Seat in Round 1?

You must participate in Round 1 to remain eligible for Round 2 allotment — Round 2 is not open to fresh registrants who skipped Round 1.
Based on past trends, choice filling may not be permitted again in Round 2 — allotment in Round 2 is typically based on choices already filled and merit rank.
If seats remain vacant after Round 2, AIIMS conducts an Open Round, usually in offline mode, which generally requires candidates to register again even if they participated in Rounds 1 and 2.
Keep monitoring the official portal for vacant-seat announcements and further round schedules.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Missing the choice-locking deadline (6 August 2026).
Filling only a few institute preferences instead of a comprehensive list.
Uploading incorrect or unclear documents.
Ignoring reporting dates after seat allotment.
Not downloading and saving the allotment letter immediately.
Assuming Round 2 will allow fresh choice filling — plan your Round 1 choices as if they’re final.

Tips for Better Choice Filling

Fill the maximum realistic number of AIIMS preferences — don’t stop at 2 or 3.
Prioritise institutes based on both your rank and genuine interest.
Check previous years’ closing ranks for each campus before finalising your order.
Lock your choices well before the deadline to avoid last-minute technical issues.
Keep your login credentials secure and don’t share them.
