PGIMER Answer Key 2026: Nursing and Paramedical Status

PGIMER 2026 covers three separate entrance routes, and each one is at a different stage right now. Candidates looking for information on the PGIMER BSc Nursing, MSc Nursing, or BSc Paramedical entrance test will get a different answer depending on which one they mean, so this page covers each route separately instead of assuming one shared answer key timeline for all three.

PGIMER Answer Key 2026 Highlights

The three routes below are each at a different stage. The table lists where each one currently stands.

PGIMER BSc Nursing 2026: An Exam That Has Not Happened Yet

This exam has not happened yet, so this section covers only what is known so far.

• The combined 4 year and Post Basic BSc Nursing exam is scheduled for July 24, 2026, a date that has not yet arrived at the time of writing.
• No provisional key, response sheet, or objection window can exist for a test that has not been conducted. Any specific date given for those stages elsewhere is not confirmed.
• Accounts of what PGIMER does after the exam genuinely conflict. Some describe a provisional key followed by an objection window and a final key, the pattern most entrance exams follow. At least one detailed account claims PGIMER skips that entirely and goes straight from exam to result, with no official key published at all.
• Until PGIMER confirms this for the 2026 cycle, the post-exam process for BSc Nursing stays unconfirmed. The official website is the only place that will settle it.

PGIMER MSc Nursing 2026: Held, but Little Confirmed Since

This exam already took place, over a month before this page was written, but very little information has come out since.

• The exam itself ran on May 31, 2026, following an application window that opened April 10 and closed May 9, 2026.
• 31 seats were on offer across different nursing specialities, open to candidates holding a BSc Nursing or Post Basic BSc Nursing degree, RN and RM registration, and at least a year of work experience.
• Beyond that run up, nothing concrete on an answer key, an objection process, or a result date turned up in the sources checked for this draft, despite the gap since the exam being well past a month.
• This does not mean nothing has happened. It only means the information was not confirmed clearly enough to state here as fact. Candidates who took this exam should check their own candidate login rather than a third party summary.

PGIMER BSc Paramedical 2026: Still Filling Out Forms

This is the earliest of the three routes, since the exam itself has not been scheduled yet.

• 12 paramedical courses are on offer across a combined 107 seats, with the application window closing July 2, 2026.
• No exam date had been fixed in the sources checked for this draft, though the paper is expected to run 90 minutes across 100 questions once scheduled.
• The application fee sits at Rs 1,500 for General, OBC, and Sponsored candidates, and Rs 1,200 for SC and ST candidates.

If PGIMER 2026 Does Publish a Key, Here Is the Likely Sequence

Since the process is not confirmed, the steps below cover what to do either way.

• Once an exam is over, check the official website first for an answer key link, and separately for a direct result announcement.
• If a key does appear, download it along with a response sheet, where one is offered.
• If the notice jumps straight to a result date with no key mentioned, treat the evaluation as final, since there may be no separate score verification stage to use.
• Where an objection window is offered, note its deadline immediately and gather any supporting proof before that window shuts.

PGIMER 2026 Marking Scheme, Where It Is Actually Confirmed

Only one of the three routes has a marking scheme that is consistently confirmed. The table below shows what is known for each.

PGIMER 2026 Points Worth Knowing Regardless of Route

A few facts apply to all three routes, regardless of which one a candidate is following.

• PGIMER's MD and MS seats now run through INI-CET, an entirely separate exam conducted by AIIMS, not through anything resembling a PGIMER answer key.
• Admission to BSc Nursing and Post Basic BSc Nursing rests purely on the entrance score, with Class 12 marks carrying no weight at all.
• Counselling for PGIMER courses is run largely offline, meaning candidates show up in person for document verification rather than completing it online.

About PGIMER: NINE and the Paramedical Wing

PGIMER has been running for decades, well before any of its current entrance exams existed in their present form.

• Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh dates back to 1962 and holds Institute of National Importance status.
• Its nursing entrance tests run through the National Institute of Nursing Education, based on the same campus, which administers both the BSc and MSc Nursing routes.
• A separate paramedical wing covers 12 distinct courses, spanning fields such as Medical Laboratory Science, Radiotherapy Technology, Optometry, Physiotherapy, and Public Health, each with its own eligibility criteria under one combined entrance exam.

PGIMER BSc Nursing: Last Year's Calendar as a Guide

Only one earlier cycle has confirmed dates to compare against, but it is the best data available right now.

Both cycles fall in the same July window. This suggests 2027 may follow a similar pattern, though this is not confirmed until PGIMER releases its own notification.

Once a PGIMER 2026 Result Exists

The stage after a result is similar across all three routes, even though each route is currently at a different point in its own timeline.

• Selection runs on merit, so a confirmed result is followed by counselling rather than an automatic offer.
• For BSc Nursing, this is expected around mid August 2026 at the National Institute of Nursing Education auditorium on campus, covering document checks, seat allotment, and fee payment on the spot.
• MSc Nursing counselling follows the same merit based logic once its own result is confirmed.
• BSc Paramedical counselling will only take shape once that route reaches its own exam and result stage.
