Key Dates at a Glance

Before we dive into the "how-to," let’s keep the timeline straight. Bookmark these dates so you don't miss a beat.

How to Check Your Exam City (Step-by-Step)

Don't let technical glitches slow you down. Follow these steps to access your slip directly from the portal:

1. Official Entry: Head over to the AIIMS Exams Portal.
2. Locate the Link: Look for the notification labeled "NORCET-10 City Intimation Slip" under the 'Important Announcements' section.
3. Login Credentials: Enter your Registration ID and Password.
4. Security Check: Solve the Captcha (yes, even if it looks like a puzzle) and hit Login.
5. View & Save: Your city details will appear on the dashboard. Download the PDF and keep a screenshot on your phone for quick reference.

Why This Slip Matters (It's Not Your Admit Card!)

It’s a common mix-up, but remember: The City Intimation Slip is NOT your Admit Card.

• The Slip: Tells you where you are going (City) so you can book your trains, flights, or buses today.
• The Admit Card (Coming April 27): Tells you the exact venue address and your roll number. You must carry a printed copy of the Admit Card to the exam hall, not the intimation slip.

Pro-Tips for NORCET Aspirants

Since the Mains exam is just a week away, here’s how to handle the "Final Countdown":

1. The "Server Crash" Survival Guide

AIIMS servers often get overwhelmed when everyone tries to log in at once. If the page isn't loading:

• Wait for the 'Magic Hours': Try logging in after 10:00 PM or early in the morning (5:00 AM–7:00 AM).
• Clear Cache: Sometimes your browser "remembers" the old, broken page. Clear your cookies or use Incognito mode.

2. Travel & Logistics

• Book Now: Since the exam is on April 30, last-minute tickets will be expensive and hard to find. Now that you know the city, secure your transport immediately.
• The Buffer Rule: If your exam city is more than 3 hours away, arrive the evening before. You don't want a traffic jam or a delayed train to be the reason you miss your career-defining exam.

3. Last-Minute Preparation

• Focus on High-Yield Topics: Don't start new, complex subjects now. Review your notes on Medical-Surgical Nursing, Pharmacology, and those tricky clinical scenarios.
• Mock Exams: Take at least two more full-length CBT mocks to keep your speed and accuracy sharp.

Final Thought: You’ve worked incredibly hard to clear Stage I. This final hurdle on April 30 is just about staying calm and executing what you already know. Good luck, future Nursing Officers! 🩺
