AIIMS NORCET 8: Now Accepting Applications for 2,043 Nursing Officer Jobs
If you're eyeing a nursing officer role in a top government hospital, here’s your chance. The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) has kicked off the recruitment process for NORCET 8, offering a massive AIIMS NORCET 8 opportunity with 2,043 vacancies this year. This fresh batch includes newly added posts, and the openings are spread across prime locations like New Delhi, Raipur, and Bhopal. The application window has opened up, and if you meet the criteria, you’ve got about three weeks to throw your hat in the ring.
Key Application Dates:
- Application Period: 24 February 2025 to 17 March 2025
- Stage I (Prelim Exam): 12 April 2025
- Stage II (Main Exam): 2 May 2025
Missing this deadline isn’t an option if you’re serious about working at one of the country’s top healthcare institutions. While the application fee details haven’t been published yet, all other steps are straightforward if you go through the official notification in detail.
Who Can Apply and What’s the Selection Process?
Before you rush to apply, make sure you tick all the boxes on eligibility. Here’s what you need to know:
- Age Requirement: You should be at least 18 years old but not more than 30. Age relaxations are possible depending on your category, so reserved categories get some breathing room.
- Educational Qualification: A B.Sc. (Hons.) Nursing or a B.Sc. Nursing degree is a must. You also need registered nurse status—no cutting corners here.
Once you’ve got the basics sorted, here’s what the selection journey looks like:
- Stage I – Preliminary Exam: You’ll tackle objective-type questions. Topics range from the nuts and bolts of nursing basics to a bit of anatomy and pharmacology. Medical terminology also figures, so brush up on the jargon.
- Stage II – Main Exam: This round digs a little deeper into nursing specifics. It’s designed to weed out those who are just cramming from those who genuinely know their stuff.
- Document Verification: If you clear both exams, you’ll need to prove every detail—from your educational certificates to your nurse registration and valid age/category documents. Forget even one piece of paper, and your chance could slip away.
Most candidates find the two-stage process intense, with tough competition in each round. It's a good idea to get your documents ready now rather than scramble at the last minute.
Syllabus Insights: The exam doesn’t throw trick questions from left field, but you do need a strong grip on your nursing fundamentals, a decent understanding of physiology and anatomy, and at least working knowledge of pharmacology and medical terminology.
The official NORCET 8 notification, available on the AIIMS website, offers all the nitty-gritty details—from syllabus breakdowns to sample questions and exam formats.
This year’s recruitment drive isn’t just about grabbing a job; it’s a doorway into some of the busiest and most prestigious hospitals in India. If you’re committed, organized, and can tackle pressure, go ahead—get your application in and start preparing. This shot doesn’t come around every day.
