Can You Change Your Exam City for NORCET 10? Official AIIMS Guidelines

The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) has officially released the NORCET 10 City Intimation 2026 slips for the Nursing Officer Recruitment Common Eligibility Test. Following the announcement, many applicants are inquiring whether it is possible to modify their assigned exam city. Based on current AIIMS examination protocols, changes are strictly prohibited. Read on for a full breakdown of the policy.

Can Exam City Be Changed in NORCET 10?

To be direct: no. Once the AIIMS city intimation slip is issued, your allotted examination city is final and cannot be altered. The exam authorities do not accept requests for center changes under any circumstances. We strongly advise candidates to finalize their travel and accommodation plans immediately upon receiving their notification. Before diving into the specifics of this rule, ensure you are familiar with the broader NORCET 10 exam details.

Why You Cannot Change Your Exam City

While many candidates seek to adjust their exam location to better suit their personal travel logistics, AIIMS maintains a rigid policy that prevents any individual modifications after the intimation phase begins.

1. Strict AIIMS Policy Against Changes

AIIMS adheres to strict guidelines regarding the allocation of examination cities and centers. Your assignment is determined by your initial preferences submitted during the registration process, balanced against local seat availability. Once finalized in the intimation slip, AIIMS will not entertain requests for adjustments, regardless of personal circumstances or unforeseen conflicts.

2. Purpose of the City Intimation Slip

The city intimation slip is provided well in advance—specifically on April 4, 2026—to give candidates ample time to prepare. This window allows you to make necessary travel arrangements before the Stage I exam on April 11, 2026. Please note that at this stage, the allotted city is considered fixed.

3. Exceptions (Rare Administrative Changes)

Exceptions are only made in rare, extraordinary circumstances, such as the sudden unavailability of a test venue or external factors like natural disasters. In these instances, AIIMS may issue a formal notification to reassign a specific batch of candidates. Individual requests for relocation are never permitted.

Steps Candidates Should Take Now

Since the exam city cannot be modified, we recommend focusing your energy on efficient logistics planning. Follow these steps to ensure a stress-free experience on your exam day.

• Plan Your Travel and Accommodation: Book your travel tickets and hotel in the allotted city as soon as possible to avoid last-minute rush or high pricing.
• Wait for the Admit Card: The exact exam venue (school, college, or testing facility address) will be revealed only in the Admit Card, scheduled for release on April 8, 2026.
• Do Not Rely on the City Intimation Slip for Entry: Remember, the intimation slip is not the admit card. You will not be allowed to enter the exam hall without the official admit card.
