AIMMS B.SC Nursing Answer Key

Complete Guide to AIIMS B.Sc Nursing Answer Key 2026

Following the successful completion of the AIIMS B.Sc Nursing entrance examination, the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, releases the official answer key. The answer key is an invaluable resource that allows candidates to cross-check their responses, evaluate their performance, and predict their chances of admission into their desired AIIMS campus before the final results are declared.

AIIMS generally releases the answer key in two phases: the Provisional Answer Key and the Final Answer Key. Below is everything you need to know about downloading the answer key, calculating your scores, and challenging discrepancies.

1. Types of Answer Keys Released

• Provisional Answer Key: Released a few days after the exam, this initial key allows candidates to verify the official answers against their OMR sheets. If a candidate finds any incorrect answers, they have the right to challenge this provisional key.

• Final Answer Key: After considering all the objections raised by candidates, an expert committee reviews the challenges. The revised, definitive key is then published as the Final Answer Key. The final exam results and merit lists are formulated strictly based on this final document.

2. How to Download the AIIMS B.Sc Nursing Answer Key & OMR Sheet

Candidates can access their respective answer keys and OMR response sheets exclusively through the official exam portal. Follow these steps to download the documents:

1. Visit the official AIIMS examinations website: aiimsexams.ac.in.

2. Navigate to the "Academic Courses" tab and select the "B.Sc (Hons) Nursing" or "B.Sc Nursing (Post-Basic)" link.

3. Click on the candidate login portal and enter your credentials: Registration ID, RUC (Registration Unique Code), and Password.

4. Once logged in to your dashboard, look for the notification or link reading "Download Answer Key / OMR Sheet 2026."

5. The answer key and your recorded responses will appear on the screen in PDF format.

6. Download and save the PDF file to your device for easy score calculation.

3. How to Calculate Your Expected Score

To accurately estimate your final score, you must be thoroughly familiar with the official AIIMS B.Sc Nursing marking scheme.

Official Marking Scheme:

• Correct Answer: +1 Mark

• Incorrect Answer: -1/3 Mark (Negative marking applies)

• Unanswered/Marked for Review: 0 Marks

Formula for Score Calculation: Total Estimated Score = (Number of Correct Answers × 1) - (Number of Incorrect Answers × 1/3)

Example: If you answered 70 questions correctly and 15 questions incorrectly out of 100, your score would be: (70) - (15/3) = 70 - 5 = 65 Marks.

4. How to Challenge the Provisional Answer Key

If you notice a discrepancy or an incorrect answer in the provisional key, AIIMS provides a brief window to file an objection.

• Access the Objection Window: Log in to your candidate dashboard during the specified objection period.

• Select Questions: Choose the question number(s) you wish to challenge.

• Provide Justification: You must upload valid proof or a standard reference document supporting your claim. Unsubstantiated claims are immediately rejected.

• Pay the Processing Fee: A non-refundable processing fee (usually a nominal amount per challenged question) must be paid online via Credit/Debit card or Net Banking.

• Submit: After successful payment, submit your challenges.

Once the subject expert committee reviews all submitted objections, the final answer key will be locked, and no further communication regarding answer corrections will be entertained.
