AIIMS Nursing 2026

B.Sc. (Hons), Post-Basic & M.Sc. Nursing

The PAAR system is unique because it splits registration into two distinct stages. You must complete basic registration and have it accepted before you can proceed to the Final stage.

The registration process, which uses the PAAR (Prospective Applicants Advanced Registration) system, is expected to begin its basic stage within the next few days.
