New Delhi, June 16

AIIMS New Delhi conducted the Nursing Officer Recruitment Common Eligibility Test (NORCET) 2025 for all AIIMS, including new AIIMS set up under the Pradhan Mantri Swasthyya Suraksha Yojna and other participating Central Government Hospitals under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, said the ministry in an official release.

According to the release, a total of around 2,000 vacancies of Nursing Officers were advertised, including around 600 vacancies pertaining to AIIMS, New Delhi and 300 vacancies of AIIMS-CAPFIMS (Central Armed Forces Institute of Medical Sciences).

The results were declared in May 2025, out of 1,939 candidates selected 595 Nursing officers (NOs) have been selected for AIIMS, New Delhi and 288 NOs for AIIMS-CAPFIMS.

Recognizing the critical need for regular staffing in Hospitals, the NORCET examination--earlier conducted once a year--is now being held twice annually to ensure timely recruitment and uninterrupted patient care services. This policy shift aligns with the strategic planning of AIIMS and the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare.

Meanwhile, on Friday, Union Minister of Health and Family Welfare, Jagat Prakash Nadda, virtually addressed the first edition of the Conclave on "Best Practices"

The two-day conclave was organised by the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Nagpur.

According to a release from the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, the two-day Conclave seeks to showcase exemplary practices adopted by various AIIMS institutions, focusing on patient-centric care, operational efficiency, digital transformation, and academic excellence.

AIIMS institutes from across the country (AIIMS Bhopal, AIIMS Jammu, AIIMS Bilaspur, AIIMS Jodhpur, AIIMS Nagpur, AIIMS Deoghar, AIIMS Patna, AIIMS Gorakhpur, AIIMS Guwahati, AIIMS Raipur) , along with the Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana (PMSSY) division and the Ministry of Defence, collaborated in the conclave. Union Health Secretary, Ms. Punya Salila Srivastava, delivered the opening address at the event.

In his address, underlining the significance of All India Institutes of Medical Sciences, Union Minister JP Nadda stated that "each AIIMS, established as an Institute of National Importance, integrates advanced clinical care, high-quality medical education and research excellence. Strategically located to address regional disparities, every AIIMS serves as a Centre of healthcare innovation and learning, delivering equitable, affordable and evidence-based healthcare services. These institutions reflect the Government's commitment to strengthening public health systems, raising standards of care and nurturing a new generation of healthcare leaders."

Great initiative by AIIMS! Conducting NORCET twice a year will definitely help reduce staff shortages. My sister appeared for this exam - the selection process was transparent and merit-based. Hope more such recruitment drives happen for other medical staff too. 👏

While this is good news, I wish they would also focus on improving working conditions for nursing staff. My aunt works at AIIMS Delhi and the nurse-patient ratio is still very high. More recruitment + better facilities = better healthcare for all.

The expansion of AIIMS network across India is truly remarkable. Just 10 years back we had only a handful, now every region has one. This will reduce pressure on Delhi AIIMS and make quality healthcare accessible to more Indians. #HealthcareForAll

Congratulations to all selected candidates! 🎉 Nursing is such a noble profession but often underappreciated. Hope the new recruits get proper training and support. The Best Practices conclave sounds interesting - sharing knowledge between AIIMS will raise standards nationwide.

Good step, but what about rural healthcare? While AIIMS gets all attention, our primary health centers in villages still lack basic staff. Government should have parallel recruitment for rural postings with good incentives.

The CAPFIMS recruitment is particularly important - our armed forces personnel deserve the best medical care. Kudos to the Ministry for this integrated approach. Now if only they could speed up the joining process - selected candidates often wait months for actual posting!
