About CRE-5: What Is It and Who Is It For?

CRE-5 is a unified, single-window recruitment platform that allows eligible candidates to apply once and be considered for similar posts across multiple participating institutes. The Examination Section, AIIMS New Delhi acts solely as the examination-conducting body; recruitment rules, service conditions, and final appointment decisions rest entirely with each participating institute independently.

Participating organizations are autonomous bodies or subordinate offices under the Government of India, functioning independently from AIIMS New Delhi. Candidates are advised to check each institute’s individual recruitment rules and eligibility criteria before applying, as conditions may differ for the same post name across different institutes.

Age limits are post-specific and measured as of the closing date of online registration, i.e., 30 June 2026. Most Group B posts cap at age 30 years and Group C posts cap between 18–30 years, though higher caps apply to some technical and supervisory roles (up to 35 or 40 years).

However, application fees paid by SC/ST candidates who appear in the examination will be refunded to the source account after declaration of results.

 

Exam Pattern and Syllabus

The CRE-5 Computer Based Test is a structured, time-bound examination designed to assess both domain knowledge and general aptitude.

CBT Structure

Each section is sequential and time-locked – once a section closes, candidates cannot return to it. Candidates must attempt all possible questions within the active section’s time window.

Medium of Examination

Posts where the essential qualification is 10th/12th will be examined in bilingual (English and Hindi) medium. Posts requiring bachelor’s or higher qualifications, or posts involving specific technical domain knowledge, will be examined in English only.

Qualifying Marks

Tie-Breaking Rules

In case of equal marks, ties are resolved in this order: (i) higher marks in the domain-specific section; (ii) fewer wrong answers/negative marks; (iii) older date of birth; (iv) alphabetical order of name, then father’s name, then mother’s name.

Syllabus (Domain Part – Selected Groups)

Full syllabus details for all 57 groups are in Section IX of the official DRA.

Skill Test

For selected post groups, a Skill Test is conducted as Stage II for candidates who qualify the CBT. The skill test is qualifying in nature. The final merit list is prepared based on CBT performance, but only among those who pass the skill test for the relevant post.

Posts requiring skill tests include groups such as Junior Administrative Assistant (typing test), Stenographer (stenography test), Programmer (computer skill test), Hindi Translator (translation test), Assistant Security Officer (PST), and Fire Technician (PET & PST). See Annexure-V of the DRA for complete scheme details.

If a candidate qualifies the CBT but fails the skill test, they remain eligible only for posts within the same group that do not require a skill test.

CRE-5 follows a multi-stage  recruitment process. Each stage is mandatory for progression to the next.

Stage 1 – Online Application: Candidates register on www.aiimsexams.ac.in and submit applications by 30 June 2026.

Stage 5 – Choice & Preference: Qualified candidates are invited to exercise institute choices and indicate order of preference. Candidates who fail to exercise choices within the given period will not be considered for any institute.

Stage 6 – Seat Allocation: Allocation is made in order of merit based on choices exercised and eligibility at each participating institute.

Stage 7 – Document Verification: Original certificates verified by the respective AIIMS/Institute on the date notified by them.

Stage 8 – Joining: Selected candidates must report on the date specified in the result/allocation notice. Failure to report will lead to mandatory cancellation of candidature for CRE.
