AIIMS Mock Test 2027: Free BSc Nursing & NORCET Series

Last Updated: September 19, 2026 | Verified for AIIMS Examination Patterns
Notice concerning education and safety for the future cycle: The examination patterns, the way the subjects are divided, and the marking rules mentioned on this page are derived from the latest official notifications issued by the Examination Section of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS New Delhi). The historical cutoff percentiles and the allocation of seats among the various AIIMS institutes (such as New Delhi, Bhopal, Bhubaneswar, Jodhpur, Patna, Raipur, and Rishikesh) are provided for reference only. The precise registration schedules, the seat matrices by category, and the examination dates for the 2027 academic and recruitment cycles will be released when the official prospectuses are published on aiimsexams.ac.in. This page will be updated as soon as official announcements have been made.

AIIMS Mock Test 2027: Free Online Medical Test Series

One has to show a high degree of conceptual accuracy together with a quick pace if one is to secure a place in the top undergraduate medical programmes or to obtain a permanent central government Nursing Officer position at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) institutes.

If one is preparing for the AIIMS B.Sc (Hons) Nursing Entrance Exam (a exam which contains questions based on the Class 11 and 12 NCERT textbooks in the subjects of Physics, Chemistry, Biology and General Knowledge) or for the AIIMS NORCET Recruitment Exam (an exam which assesses knowledge of the principal nursing clinical subjects along with general aptitude), they have to answer 100 multiple-choice questions under a strict negative marking system that awards minus 0.33 marks for each wrong answer. A large number of candidates are unable to reach the required cutoff because they fail to understand this negative marking system or because they base their preparation on general nursing questions.

The Our AIIMS Mock Test 2027 system provides dedicated testing sections for people who are preparing for undergraduate entrance exams and for nursing graduates. You can practice with genuine 100-question formats, monitor your pacing with real-time countdown clocks, review the clinical and scientific explanations in both Hindi and English, and download printable OMR practice sheets.

The main criterion is the AIIMS B.Sc (Hons) Nursing Entrance, the AIIMS Paramedical Entrance, and the AIIMS NORCET (Stage 1 Prelims).
For the candidate in question: a 10+2 PCB qualification (but only for women); a 10+2 PCB or PCM qualification (for both men and women); or a GNM along with some experience or a B.Sc. in Nursing.

Why This Mock Test Series Was Put Together

I am Shubham Kumar Sah and I found SarkariMockTest.com. Most online mock test websites make a fundamental error when it comes to AIIMS exams in that they treat two completely distinct groups of applicants as if they were one general group.

A student preparing for the AIIMS B.Sc (Hons) Nursing Entrance examination should be given carefully designed questions drawn from the NCERT syllabus, especially those covering the topics of electrostatics, organic reaction mechanisms, and human genetics. In contrast, a nursing graduate taking the AIIMS NORCET recruitment examination should be given questions on dosage calculations, ventilator settings, triaging, and nursing interventions. But in the case where the testing platforms combine both syllabi, entrance exam candidates find themselves encountering clinical nursing terms which they have not studied, and NORCET candidates end up working on high school physics problems that are not included in their real examination.

Another important issue is the way the examination platforms deal with the one-third negative marking penalty. AIIMS implements one of the strictest negative marking rules in India's competitive exams—the reality being that each correct answer is entirely nullified for every three wrong answers. Most commercial coaching websites let students guess at random without advising them on how to safely eliminate answer options when there is a 0.33 deduction.

The series was created in order to deal with both problems; it has two separate testing sections, each with its own interface, enabling you to practise only the areas that are needed for your specific exam. Each of the tests applies the official -0.33 penalty so that you can get used to good time-management habits well before exam day.

A large part of this series is still available for free and you needn't buy an expensive subscription in order to find out whether your weakness lies with organic chemistry mechanisms or with pediatric dosage calculations.

Every practice test on this site has to meet a certain basic standard, namely that if the test won't in fact help an applicant to achieve a higher score in the AIIMS entrance or recruitment examination, it will not be published.

AIIMS Examination Categories: Choose Your Target Track

To prepare effectively, you must focus on the exact syllabus assigned to your recruitment or academic level:

Track 1: the entrance examination for admission to the B.Sc (Hons) Nursing & Paramedical courses at AIIMS for candidates in the 12th PCB stream

This material is intended for students who have already passed or are at the stage of taking the Class 12 exams in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and English.

Eligibility for the B.Sc (Hons) Nursing programme at all of the AIIMS institutes is limited to women only.

Eligibility for the paramedical courses at AIIMS—namely, Medical Laboratory Technology, Operation Theatre Technology, and Medical Technology in Radiography—is open to both male and female candidates on the condition that they have passed the Class 12 examination with either PCB or PCM.

The test blueprint includes 100 multiple-choice questions summing to 100 marks to be done in 120 minutes; the paper consists of sections in Physics (30 questions), Chemistry (30 questions), Biology (30 questions) and General Knowledge (10 questions).

Track 2: The process of recruiting Nursing Officers at AIIMS NORCET for the GNM/B.Sc Nursing programme

This has been prepared for healthcare professionals who want to secure permanent positions as Group 'B' Nursing Officers in hospitals which are part of the central government and at the AIIMS institutes.

To be eligible, candidates must hold a B.Sc (Hons) in Nursing or a B.Sc in Nursing degree from an institute approved by the Indian Nursing Council, or a General Nursing and Midwifery diploma together with at least two years' experience in a hospital having at least 50 beds.

The Stage 1 (Preliminary CBT) Test Blueprint consists of 100 multiple-choice questions summing to 100 marks and has to be completed in 90 minutes; 80 of the questions are on core nursing clinical subjects and the other 20 deal with General Knowledge and General Aptitude.

Exam Pattern & Negative Marking Structure (100 Marks Blueprint)

Understanding how questions and penalties are structured helps you manage your time and answer choices during the exam:

AIIMS 100-MARK EXAMINATION BLUEPRINTS Blueprint Matrix
TRACK 1: B.Sc. Nursing Entrance (120 minutes duration)
• Physics : 30 Questions (30 Marks) | Class 11 & 12 NCERT Core Topics
• Chemistry : 30 Questions (30 Marks) | Physical, Inorganic & Organic Chemistry
• Biology (Botany+Zoo) : 30 Questions (30 Marks) | Human Physiology, Genetics & Ecology
• General Knowledge : 10 Questions (10 Marks) | Current Affairs, Basic History & Geography
TRACK 2: NORCET RECRUITMENT STAGE 1 (90 MINUTES DURATION)
• Core Nursing Subjects : 80 Questions (80 Marks) | Med-Surg, Pharm, OBG, Peds, Community, Admin
• General Aptitude & GK : 20 Questions (20 Marks) | Numerical Reasoning, GK, Basic English

Rule on the one-third negative marking: stopping the imposition of unnecessary penalties of -0.33

AIIMS applies a strict one-third penalty deduction across all entrance and recruitment examinations:

  • One point is awarded for each correct answer.
  • If you make the wrong choice you will lose 0.33 marks (that is, one-third of a mark).
  • Questions which are not attempted receive zero marks and there is no penalty.
MATHEMATICAL IMPACT OF THE 1/3RD PENALTY Penalty Math
When an incorrect answer is given, 1.00 mark is deducted and one correct answer is completely cancelled (+1.00 mark)
Six random guesses yield one correct answer (+1.0) and five wrong ones (-1.65), resulting in a net loss of -0.65.
The 50/50 Decision Rule: Only attempt doubtful questions if you can rule out at least two options

The fact that this rule holds means that if you make a random guess out of all four answers your overall score will decrease. You ought to only attempt questions that you are unsure about if you are entirely certain that you can eliminate at least two of the options.

Section-Wise Syllabus Weightage & Preparation Strategy

Planning your revision around high-frequency topics helps you reach qualifying cutoffs comfortably:

1. Biology (30 questions in the areas of Botany and Zoology – B.Sc. Nursing)

Biology accounts for 30% of the marks in the B.Sc Nursing Entrance exam and is the simplest way of obtaining points:

  • Human Physiology is the area that has received the greatest amount of testing; make special note of the cardiac cycles, the endocrine hormone feedback mechanisms, the transmission of neural impulses, nephron filtration, and the transport of respiratory gases.
  • The genetic and molecular basis of inheritance involves Mendelian ratios, chromosomal disorders such as Down's, Turner's, and Klinefelter's syndromes, DNA replication, transcription, translation, and the regulation of the lac operon.
  • Reproduction involves gametogenesis, the hormonal control of the menstrual cycle, the different stages of embryonic development, and various assisted reproductive technologies such as IVF, ZIFT, and GIFT.
  • Ecology and biotechnology involve matters concerning population interactions, trophic levels, recombinant DNA techniques, PCR cycles, and transgenic crops.

2. Chemistry (there are 30 questions in the B.Sc. Nursing course)

Chemistry requires balancing conceptual understanding with numerical calculations:

  • The content covers reaction mechanisms in organic chemistry (for example, a comparison of SN1 and SN2 reactions), named reactions such as the Aldol condensation, the Cannizzaro reaction, and the Reimer-Tiemann reaction, biomolecules (including carbohydrates and proteins), and the classification of polymers.
  • The subject matter consists of inorganic chemistry, which covers periodic properties, chemical bonding (a topic that includes hybridization, VSEPR theory, and dipole moments), coordination compounds (with emphasis on IUPAC nomenclature, isomerism, and crystal field splitting), and the d-block elements.
  • The content covers physical chemistry as it relates to solutions (such as colligative properties and Raoult's law), electrochemistry (including the Nernst equation and Faraday's laws), chemical kinetics (for example, the half-life of a first-order reaction), and equilibrium.

3. Physics (30 questions in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing)

Physics tests formula application and basic conceptual understanding:

  • The mechanics portion covers Newton's laws of motion, the work-energy theorem, the equations for projectile motion, those concerning circular motion, and gravitational potential energy.
  • The subject matter concerning electrostatics and current electricity consists of Coulomb's law, electric field intensity, the combination of capacitors, Ohm's law, Kirchhoff's rules, and the principles of potentiometers.
  • In the field of optics—covering rays and waves—topics include the lens maker's formula, the mirror equations, total internal reflection, prism dispersion, Young's double-slit experiment, and resolving power.
  • All of the equations relating to the photoelectric effect, Bohr's atomic model, the laws of radioactive decay, and semiconductor p-n junction diodes belong to the field of modern physics.

4. Questions relating to the main subjects in nursing (80 questions in the AIIMS NORCET)

For nursing officer candidates, clinical topics make up 80% of Stage 1:

  • The topic covers fluid and electrolyte imbalances, emergency CPR procedures, the interpretation of ECGs (including arrhythmias and myocardial infarction), shock management, and the complications which occur following surgery.
  • The subject matter of pharmacology involves dosage calculations, the effects of emergency drugs such as Atropine, Adrenaline, and Noradrenaline, the different classes of antibiotics, anti-hypertensive drugs, and the protocols for giving insulin.
  • Obstetrics & Gynecological Nursing includes coverage of antenatal assessment, the stages of normal labour, high-risk conditions such as preeclampsia and placenta previa, the management of postpartum haemorrhage, and neonatal resuscitation.
  • The topic covers immunisation schedules, developmental milestones, procedures for dehydrating children, national health programmes, and the delivery of primary healthcare.

5. General knowledge and aptitude (10 questions in the entrance exam, 20 questions in NORCET)

  • The general knowledge covers the recent national awards given in the field of sports, the major healthcare schemes known as Ayushman Bharat, fundamental information on Indian geography, and the appointments made by the central government.
  • The test covers number sequences, coding and decoding, percentage calculations, word problems related to time and work, and blood relationships.

How to Allocate Time and Plan Your Approach in the Exam Hall: Handling 100 Questions Effectively

When you are taking an online computer-based test you should adopt a well-organized plan if you want to tackle the questions. If you start with the more difficult ones which require a lot of calculation, you will waste time and this will cause you to have to rush through the easier questions later:

Time Management for the AIIMS B.Sc. Nursing exam (100 questions to be completed in 120 minutes)

Section Order Subject Area Questions Recommended Time Recommended Strategy
Section 1 General Knowledge 10 questions 6 to 8 minutes Answer the questions which request direct facts immediately. Do not think too much about them.
Section 2 Biology (including Botany and Zoology) 30 Questions 25 to 30 Minutes Base your answers on the material in NCERT. Read the questions carefully and answer them quickly.
Section 3 Chemistry 30 Questions 35 to 40 Minutes Deal with the inorganic and organic questions first and then proceed to the physical math questions.
Section 4 Physics 30 questions 40 to 45 minutes Focus on using the formulas and carry out the longer calculations later.
Section 5 Final Review & Negative Check All Sections 5 Minutes Go through the questions that you have flagged. Do not make any random guesses as there is a penalty of -0.33.

Time Management for AIIMS NORCET Stage 1 (100 Questions in 90 Minutes)

Section Order Subject Focus Questions Recommended Time Recommended Strategy
Section 1 General Aptitude and General Knowledge 20 Questions 15 to 18 Minutes Solve the straightforward general awareness and short reasoning questions quickly.

Section 3 30 questions on complex clinical scenarios 30 Questions 22 to 25 minutes Read carefully the details of each scenario in order to identify the most important nursing action.
Section 4 Verification and OMR/Palette Review All Sections 5 Minutes Check the questions you have flagged. Never make guessings without basis.

Expected Cutoff Percentiles and Score Benchmarks

For admission to the B.Sc Nursing programme and for recruitment through NORCET, AIIMS applies percentile-based cutoffs as well as minimum qualifying percentages.

Candidate Category Minimum Qualifying Percentile (for B.Sc Nursing) Minimum Qualifying Percentage (in NORCET) Safe Target Score (out of 100 marks)
Unreserved (UR / General) 50th Percentile 50% (50 Marks) 68 – 75 Net Marks
Economically Weaker Section (EWS) 50th Percentile 50% (50 Marks) 64 – 70 Net Marks
Other Backward Classes (OBC) 45th Percentile 45% (45 Marks) 60 – 66 Net Marks
Scheduled Caste (SC) 40th Percentile 40% (40 Marks) 54 – 60 Net Marks
Scheduled Tribe (ST) 40th Percentile 40% (40 Marks) 50 – 56 Net Marks
Persons with Benchmark Disabilities Matching Category Standard 5% Relaxation (for example, 45% for UR-PWBD) 48 – 54 Net Marks

Scoring Insight: Just achieving the official minimum qualifying score, for example 50% for candidates in the general category, will do nothing more than stop you from failing right away. At top institutions such as AIIMS New Delhi, actual admissions and the assignment of seats depend on scoring 68 or higher net marks after allowing for the deductions caused by negative marking.

Personalized Analytics

Taking practice exams without going over the mistakes you've made will mean that you'll commit the same errors on the day of the exam. The automated AI diagnostic system on our testing platform functions similarly to a personal tutor by examining your performance.

Here is how the analysis works:

  • You finish a 100-question practice test and turn in your answers.
  • The engine keeps a record of every question that is answered correctly, incorrectly, or skipped within all the micro-topics.
  • The dashboard will show those topics as being in red if you do well in human physiology and organic chemistry but still lose marks on current electricity or dosage calculations.
  • The system then gives an automated suggestion regarding your studies: "Since your accuracy dropped below 40% in Physics (Ray Optics & Lens Formulas) and in Chemistry (Coordination Isomerism), you should look over our summary notes on lens magnification and coordination nomenclature, and then do our 15-question focused drill before carrying out your next full mock test."

15 Common Mistakes Aspirants Make in AIIMS Exams

Avoid these frequent preparation errors to protect your score on exam day:

  • Because you fail to remember that every wrong answer results in a deduction of 0.33 marks, making a number of random guesses can lower your total score.
  • The B.Sc. Nursing and NORCET syllabi are confusing since you study high school physics if you're preparing for NORCET or you study advanced clinical interventions if you're preparing for the 10+2 entrance exam.
  • Spendings too much time on difficult physics problems: when one mechanics problem takes up 4 minutes within the first 20 minutes, there is not enough time left for the simpler biology questions.
  • Disregarding the content of the NCERT Biology textbook and instead depending on the notes from advanced coaching classes.
  • Considering general knowledge to be unimportant: ignoring GK preparation since it involves only 10 questions and thus losing out on easy marks which can aid one's overall ranking.
  • Doing some practice at home in a casual way without keeping an eye on whether you can keep up a rate of one minute per question.
  • Nursing candidates frequently choose a correct clinical action without first checking whether it is the priority intervention.
  • Leave the bubbling for the final five minutes: waiting until the last minute to shade the bubbles on the offline sheets, which leads to panic and misalignments.
  • Learning to remember the products of organic reactions without understanding the mechanisms involved, such as nucleophilic or electrophilic attacks.
  • Interpreting numerical values and their units incorrectly, such as taking centimetres instead of metres in physics problems or mistaking milligrams for micrograms in the case of drug dosages.
  • Not carrying out practice exercises on rough scratch paper: performing complicated calculations mentally during practice, which results in mistakes regarding signs on the day of the exam.
  • Ignoring the genetic inheritance ratios: failing to consider the classic Mendelian monohybrid and dihybrid ratios as well as the patterns of sex-linked recessive inheritance.
  • Failing to flag the difficult questions on the screen by not using the 'Mark for Review' function, which makes it difficult to go back to questions that can be solved during your second go-through.
  • Practicing with question banks that are out of date since they do not match the latest changes to the AIIMS computer-based test.
  • Taking tests without keeping an error log means taking practice papers without writing down the questions you get wrong and then reviewing them in a special notebook.

Sample High-Yield Practice Questions with Rationales

Review these sample questions illustrating the difficulty level across both examination tracks:

Sample Question 1: Biology (for entry to B.Sc. Nursing – Genetics)
What proportion of the total offspring is expected to show the recombinant phenotype of green round seeds when two heterozygous pea plants with yellow round seeds (YyRr) are crossed?
(A) 9/16
(B) 3/16
(C) 1/16
(D) 3/4

Correct Answer: (B) 3/16

Explanation:
According to Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment, a cross between two heterozygous dihybrids (YyRr×YyRr) produces a classic phenotypic ratio of 9:3:3:1:
9/16 Yellow Round (parental phenotype)
3/16 Yellow Wrinkled (recombinant phenotype)
3/16 Green Round (recombinant phenotype)
1/16 Green Wrinkled (parental phenotype)
The ratio showing the green round phenotype is precisely 3/16.

Sample Question 2: Chemistry (for entry to the B.Sc. Nursing programme — Coordination Compounds)
Question: According to IUPAC nomenclature guidelines, what is the correct systematic name for the coordination compound [Co(NH₃)₅(Cl)]Cl₂?
(A) Cobalt pentammine dichloride chloride
(B) Pentaamminechlorocobalt(III) chloride
(C) Pentaamminechlorocobalt(II) chloride
(D) Chloropentaamminecobaltic dichloride

Correct Answer: (B) Pentaamminechlorocobalt(III) chloride

Explanation:
In the first step the ligands are listed in alphabetical order, with ammine coming before chloro; the five ammine groups are referred to as 'pentaammine' and the one chloro group is called 'chloro'.
Step 2: Determine the oxidation state of the central cobalt ion (x):
x+5(0)+1(−1)+2(−1)=0⟹x−3=0⟹x=+3.
In step 3, the names are combined with the central metal followed by its oxidation state expressed in Roman numerals: chloride of pentaamminechlorocobalt(III).

Sample Question 3: Physics (B.Sc Nursing Entrance, Optics)
A convex lens which has a focal length of 20 cm is placed in coaxial contact with a concave lens which has a focal length of 25 cm. What is the resultant optical power of this arrangement of lenses?
(A) +1.0 Diopter
(B) -1.0 Diopter
(C) +5.0 Diopters
(D) +9.0 Diopters

The correct answer is (A) with a value of +1.0 Diopter.

Explanation:
Step 1: Calculate the power of each lens (P = 1 / f in meters):
For the convex lens: f₁ = +20 cm = +0.20 m ⟹ P₁ = 1 / +0.20 = +5.0 D.
For the concave lens: f₂ = −25 cm = −0.25 m ⟹ P₂ = 1 / −0.25 = −4.0 D.
Step 2: Combine the powers:
P_total = P₁ + P₂ = (+5.0 D) + (−4.0 D) = +1.0 Diopter.

Sample Question 4: Clinical Nursing (AIIMS NORCET — Emergency & Critical Care)
A patient who has been admitted to the intensive care unit starts to receive an intravenous infusion of potassium chloride (KCl). Which of the following nursing actions constitutes the most important safety measure when administering it?
(A) Administering the medication as a rapid IV bolus over 2 minutes
(B) Verifying that the patient has adequate urine output before and during administration
(C) Warming the infusion solution to body temperature to prevent vascular spasms
(D) Restricting dietary sodium intake throughout the infusion therapy

Correct Answer: (B) Verifying that the patient has adequate urine output before and during administration

Explanation:
Potassium is mainly excreted by the kidneys. If potassium supplements are given to a patient who has renal failure or oliguria (defined as a urine output of less than 30 mL per hour), this causes a quick accumulation of potassium and can result in life-threatening hyperkalemia, possibly leading to cardiac arrest. Potassium chloride should never be administered by intravenous push or bolus; it has to be diluted and infused slowly using an infusion pump.

Practical Preparation Tip: Managing Pacing and Negative Marking

Regular practice while being careful about pacing is what leads to a high rank:

  1. Look in the pattern tables referred to above to see whether the exam that you are taking requires the NCERT 10+2 science formulas or the core clinical nursing subjects.
  2. Spend twenty minutes in your revision notebook reviewing the cycles of human physiology, the named organic reactions, or the emergency drug dosages.
  3. Begin a practice exam on the AIIMS Mock Test 2027 platform by using the correct 120-minute or 90-minute countdown timer.
  4. If you encounter questions that you do not understand, then you should practise eliminating the incorrect answer options and must never guess altogether because of the deduction of 0.33 marks for negative marking.
  5. When the test is over, look at your scorecard, examine the heatmap showing your accuracy for each subject, and study the detailed explanations for any questions that you answered incorrectly.
