AFMC Nursing Syllabus 2026: ToGIGE and NEET Topics
The AFMC Nursing syllabus has two written parts. The first is NEET UG, whose Physics, Chemistry and Biology syllabus is notified every year. The second is ToGIGE, the Test of General Intelligence and General English that shortlisted candidates take during screening for the B.Sc Nursing course at the AFMS Colleges of Nursing.
The notification names ToGIGE but does not publish a topic-wise syllabus for it. The topic lists below are built from the test name, the reported pattern and the usual scope of reasoning and English tests. Use them as a working checklist, not as an official list. This page covers the 2026 cycle and shows where to start, how the stages overlap and how to plan your weeks.

Key changes to know
NEET replaced the old entrance test: From 2022, NEET UG scores are used for shortlisting. The earlier entrance test had separate General English, General Intelligence and Science sections.
ToGIGE is the only test of its own: It checks reasoning and English. Science is now tested only through NEET UG.
ToELR is not part of this course: ToELR is the test for MBBS admission at AFMC. Some pages still mix the two up.
No official section split: The share of reasoning and English questions in ToGIGE has not been published, so prepare both evenly.
Older pages may still show Physics, Chemistry and Biology papers in the army nursing entrance test, so follow the current notification.
ToGIGE syllabus: General Intelligence
Section | Topics to cover | Start with |
|---|---|---|
Verbal reasoning | Analogies, classification (odd one out), number and letter series, coding-decoding | Series and analogies |
Logical reasoning | Blood relations, direction sense, order and ranking, seating arrangement, syllogisms | Blood relations and directions |
Analytical ability | Statements and conclusions, cause and effect, simple puzzles, Venn diagrams | Statements and conclusions |
Non-verbal reasoning | Mirror and water images, figure series, paper folding, embedded figures | Figure series |
Basic numerical ability | Number operations, missing numbers, simple calculations | Missing numbers |
Series, coding-decoding, blood relations and directions are quick to learn and appear in most reasoning tests of this type. Start there, then add puzzles once your speed is steady.
ToGIGE syllabus: General English
Section | Topics to cover | Start with |
|---|---|---|
Grammar | Tenses, subject-verb agreement, articles, prepositions, voice, narration | Subject-verb agreement and tenses |
Vocabulary | Synonyms, antonyms, one-word substitution, spelling, idioms and phrases | Synonyms and antonyms |
Sentence skills | Error spotting, sentence correction, sentence improvement, fill in the blanks | Error spotting |
Reading | Short comprehension passages, para jumbles, cloze test | Short passages |
Error spotting and fill in the blanks reward clear grammar rules, so revise the rules first and then practise in sets. Vocabulary builds slowly, so keep a daily list of 10 to 15 words from your reading.
NEET UG syllabus
NEET UG follows the syllabus notified for the year, built on the Class 11 and 12 curriculum. Confirm the units in the official bulletin on the NEET UG website of NTA.
Physics
Mechanics: Units and measurement, kinematics, laws of motion, work, energy and power, rotational motion, gravitation.
Properties of matter and heat: Bulk matter, thermodynamics, kinetic theory of gases.
Waves and electricity: Oscillations and waves, electrostatics, current electricity, magnetism, electromagnetic induction and alternating current.
Modern physics and optics: Optics, dual nature of matter, atoms and nuclei, electronic devices.
Chemistry
Physical chemistry: Basic concepts, atomic structure, chemical bonding, thermodynamics, equilibrium, solutions, electrochemistry, chemical kinetics.
Inorganic chemistry: Periodic classification, p-block, d- and f-block elements, coordination compounds.
Organic chemistry: Basic principles, hydrocarbons, haloalkanes and haloarenes, oxygen- and nitrogen-containing compounds, biomolecules.
Biology
Diversity and cell biology: Diversity in the living world, structural organisation, cell structure and function.
Physiology: Plant physiology and human physiology.
Reproduction, genetics and evolution: Reproduction in organisms, principles of inheritance, molecular basis of inheritance, evolution.
Applied biology: Biology and human welfare, biotechnology, ecology and environment.
Biology carries about half of the NEET UG paper, so it deserves the largest share of your study time.
Overlap between stages
Area | NEET UG | ToGIGE and interview | How to plan |
|---|---|---|---|
Biology and nursing interest | Core subject | Interview questions on Class 12 subjects and health topics | Study once for NEET, then revise key ideas in simple spoken language |
English | Reading the question paper | Full ToGIGE section and interview communication | Daily reading builds both comprehension and speaking |
Reasoning | Not tested directly | Full ToGIGE section | Start in short daily slots so it does not eat into NEET time |
Current affairs | Not tested | Interview | Read the news for 15 to 20 minutes a day |
Psychological assessment and interview
There is no written syllabus for either stage. The psychological assessment looks at personality and suitability for military nursing. The interview usually covers your Class 12 subjects, current affairs, the MNS and the armed forces, your hobbies and your reasons for choosing the service. Clear, honest answers matter more than prepared speeches.
How to cover the syllabus
Months before NEET UG: Finish NEET concepts subject by subject, with weekly tests. Add 20 minutes a day of English reading and vocabulary.
After NEET UG: Shift to ToGIGE. Spend the first two weeks on reasoning basics and grammar rules, then move to topic tests.
Two to four weeks before screening: Take timed 40-question, 30-minute sets every other day and keep an error log of the question types you miss.
Final week: Revise your error log, practise interview answers aloud and prepare your documents.
