About the Posts & Eligibility
CRE-5 covers a wide range of posts under Group B (non-gazetted officer level — lab technicians, nurses, junior engineers, pharmacists, etc.) and Group C (supporting staff — store keepers, LDCs, MTS). Eligibility varies by post — anything from 10+2 with science background to graduation with a relevant health/technical degree. Age limit is as on 01 July 2026, post-specific. The official notification PDF at aiimsexams.ac.in lists every post with its specific qualification requirement.
The selection is through a Computer Based Test (CBT) conducted across multiple AIIMS centres simultaneously on 25–27 July 2026. Subject-specific syllabus and post-wise cut-offs are published after the exam. AIIMS jobs come with 7th Pay Commission pay scales, CGHS medical benefits, and strong career progression — making these among the most competitive central government paramedical/technical jobs available.
