AIIMS CRE-5 Re-Exam Date 2026

The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Ansari Nagar, New Delhi has released Notice No. 127/2026, dated 07 August 2026, announcing the revised re-examination schedule for the Computer Based Test (CBT) under Common Recruitment Examination – 5 (CRE-5) for seven specific Group Codes. This notice follows the earlier DRA Notice No. 93/2026 (dated 13.06.2026) and Notice No. 124/2026 (dated 31.07.2026), which had first announced that a re-exam was required for these groups after the CRE-5 exam held from 25–27 July 2026. Only candidates under the affected Group Codes need to reappear — the earlier scores for these groups will not be used for the final merit list.

Quick Overview

Why Was the CRE-5 Re-Exam Announced?

The original CRE-5 CBT was conducted from 25 to 27 July 2026 across 59 group codes covering administrative, technical, nursing, engineering, laboratory, and pharmacist posts. Following the exam, AIIMS decided — based on the recommendations of an Expert Committee and with the approval of the Competent Authority — that the test for 7 specific Group Codes would need to be conducted afresh. As per the official notice, the examination already held for these 7 group codes will not be considered for preparing the final merit list; only the performance in the re-exam will count. Candidates under the remaining group codes are unaffected and their recruitment process continues as normal.

Group Code, Post & Shift-Wise Re-Exam Schedule

A separate question paper will be prepared for each group, and a maximum of two group CBTs will be conducted in a single shift. The complete group-wise schedule is given below:

Who Needs to Appear in the Re-Exam?

• Candidates who appeared in AIIMS CRE-5 2026 under Group Codes 3, 20, 28, 32, 33, 48, or 58
• Candidates who were issued admit cards for these affected Group Codes earlier
• Applicants who satisfy the eligibility conditions after verification of official records

Candidates belonging to the other 52 group codes do not need to reappear — their CRE-5 recruitment process continues without any changes.

Important Instructions for Candidates

• A separate admit card is issued for each shift. Carry the admit card for the relevant shift along with a valid original photo ID proof to the exam centre.
• The exam centre is allotted based on the earlier DRA Notice No. 93/2026, the candidate’s preference in the application form, and availability of computer nodes/logistics. AIIMS will try to allot the same centre for candidates applying to multiple groups, but the centre may differ while remaining within the same city.
• Providing false information — such as a false PwBD status to evade fees, or false category/qualification details — will be treated as malpractice/use of unfair means and can lead to cancellation of candidature and penal action.
• The admit card is issued provisionally, without scrutiny of eligibility, category, or experience at this stage. Candidature can be cancelled later if any discrepancy is found.
• Changes in exam centre, date, or shift are not permitted under any circumstance — such requests will not be entertained.
