Hello,

For NORCET-10 (AIIMS Nursing Officer exam), selection happens in two stages, Prelims and Mains.

Stage 1: Prelims

It’s a qualifying test to shortlist candidates for the Mains exam.

Cutoff is based on percentile score (not total marks)

UR/EWS: 50th percentile

OBC: 45th percentile

SC/ST: 40th percentile

So, even if total marks vary each year, you must score above your category’s percentile to clear Prelims.

Stage 2: Mains

Final selection depends on your Mains marks.

Minimum qualifying marks:

UR/EWS: 50%

OBC: 45%

SC/ST: 40%

The final merit list is prepared based on your Mains score and seat availability.

Hope you understand.

Hello,

For NORCET, you need to pass the preliminary exam to be eligible for the main exam, with qualifying marks being the 50th percentile for UR/EWS, 45th for OBC, and 40th for SC/ST candidates. The main exam's marks determine the final merit list, but there are no preset minimum marks for the mains; selection is based on a candidate's rank.

I hope it will clear your query!!
