Fresh From the Exam Hall: Today’s Big Update

The Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh successfully conducted the BSc Nursing Entrance Exam 2026 today, 24 July 2026, as a Computer-Based Test (CBT). Thousands of female candidates across India appeared for this highly competitive institute-level exam, which is the gateway to just 93 seats in the prestigious 4-Year BSc Nursing programme (plus additional Post-Basic seats), at one of India’s premier medical institutions. With the exam now behind them, candidates are already looking ahead to the next milestones — the answer key release and the final result.

PGIMER BSc Nursing 2026 Exam Pattern — What Was Tested Today

How to Calculate Your Estimated Score

Formula: Total Score = (Correct Answers × 1) − (Wrong Answers × 0.25)

Example: If a candidate attempted 90 questions, getting 70 correct and 20 wrong — Score = (70 × 1) − (20 × 0.25) = 70 − 5 = 65 Marks out of 100

Once the official answer key is released, you’ll be able to plug in your exact responses using this formula to get a much more accurate estimate before the official result arrives.

Today’s Exam Analysis — What to Expect Section-Wise

Based on the historical difficulty pattern of PGIMER BSc Nursing exams (official difficulty-level breakdown for the 2026 paper will only be confirmed once candidate feedback and the answer key are out), here’s a general sense of what candidates typically encounter:

• Biology: Usually the highest-weightage section — moderate difficulty, largely based on NCERT Class 12 concepts
• Chemistry: Moderate difficulty, with a mix of conceptual and numerical questions
• Physics: Generally considered the toughest section by most candidates, requiring strong conceptual clarity
• English: Easy to moderate — grammar, vocabulary, and comprehension-based questions
• General Knowledge/Aptitude: Moderate — covers current affairs, especially in health and science, plus general nursing aptitude

Overall Expected Difficulty: Moderate to Moderately-Difficult, consistent with previous years’ trends. A detailed, candidate-reported exam analysis for today’s specific paper will be updated as feedback comes in from test-takers across centres.
