AIIMS BSc Nursing 2027 Question Types and Practice Approach

AIIMS BSc Nursing 2027 Question Types and Practice Approach

The (Hons.) paper is a computer-based test of 120 minutes with 100 MCQs.

Post-Basic BSc Nursing is a different paper (70 MCQs, 90 minutes, plus an interview). This article covers only the (Hons.) paper.

AIIMS BSc Nursing 2027: What Types of Questions Are Asked?

Every question is a four-option MCQ, but the style changes by section.

Much of the paper is plain recall, so careful NCERT reading is worth it quickly. The traps are in the wording: "incorrect", "NOT", "except". Fast readers lose marks they knew.

AIIMS BSc Nursing 2027 Biology Questions: NCERT Lines Decide Your Score

Of 15 Biology samples in the PYQ book, eight were direct recall, three were concept application and four were statement-based. In the 27 recalled questions from 2026, five were "incorrect or NOT" type, two were match-the-following and one was a statement combination.

• Plants matter. At least eight of the 27 were plant-based: phyllotaxy, bulliform cells, ethylene, the egg apparatus, Solanaceae.

• Small facts are tested. Which cell guides the pollen tube, which hormone closes stomata, which fungus makes which drug.

• Topics repeat. In the 2026 recall, synergids and Solanaceae each appeared twice. MTP appears in both books we studied. A list of one-liners helps here.

Chemistry and Physics: Practice Beats Reading

Chemistry. The 15 PYQ samples covered metallurgy, solid state, thermodynamics, redox and coordination compounds, with only one organic question. The 2026 practice set was different: 13 of its 23 Chemistry questions were organic or biomolecules (Cannizzaro, LiAlH₄, SN1, ozonolysis). We cannot say which is closer to the real paper, so do not skip either side. See the important Chemistry chapters.

Physics. Eight of 15 PYQ samples were optics, three modern physics, three semiconductors and one communication. At least nine needed a calculation. The practice set had 19 Physics questions, nearly all formula-based. Physics here is mostly short numericals: one formula, two or three lines of working. Our Physics study guide helps with the plan.

Try these without a key:

(1) skip distance for fmax = 300 kHz, fc = 100 kHz, h = 150 km, using D = 2h√((fmax/fc)² − 1);

(2) magnification for an object 5 cm from a concave mirror of radius 20 cm;

(3) stopping potential for 400 nm light on a metal with threshold frequency 3.5 × 10¹⁴ Hz.

Answers: about 849 km; +2; about 1.66 V.

AIIMS BSc Nursing 2027 General Knowledge Question Types: Not Only Current Affairs

The syllabus page lists history, geography, culture, policy and scientific research. The books we read also had reasoning: of five PYQ GK samples, two were facts and three were reasoning (seating, series, blood relation). Prepare static GK and recent current affairs, plus a short daily reasoning drill. Current affairs go stale, so never memorise an old answer as if it were still true.

Negative Marking: When to Guess

This is arithmetic, not an official strategy. Skip questions you know nothing about, guess after removing two options, and read "incorrect" questions twice. With 120 minutes for 100 questions (1.2 minutes each on average), quick recall gives you time for numericals. Questions can be marked for review, so leave a long numerical and return to it.

A Practice Approach That Works

Using PYQs well:

1. Attempt first, then check. Mark each answer sure, unsure or guessed.

2. Keep an error log: concept gap, careless reading, calculation slip, or unknown fact.

3. Redo numericals on paper the next day.

4. Turn every wrong fact into a one-liner and revise weekly.

5. Never trust a key blindly. Memory-based papers can be mis-recalled, so rework any answer that disagrees with your own working.
