AIIMS CRE Study Notes 2026: Group-Wise Notes and Revision Plan
Build or choose AIIMS CRE study notes by group code, with a revision method that fits a 100-question, section-locked CBT.
Good AIIMS CRE study notes are short, organised by group code and built for revision. With 80 of the 100 questions coming from your domain, notes that try to cover everything cost you time without adding marks. This page explains what to keep in your notes, how to organise them for each part of the paper, and how to revise them before the test.
What Good Notes Look Like
Matched to your group: Start from the domain subject and language of your own group code.
Short and scannable: Definitions, formulas, rules and procedures in a few lines each.
Built from the syllabus: Every heading should map to a topic in the official syllabus.
Easy to revise: You should be able to read a topic in minutes, not hours.
Notes for Each Part of the Paper
Part | What to keep in notes | Best format |
|---|---|---|
Domain subject (80 questions) | Core definitions, standard procedures, terminology and previous-question patterns | Topic-wise short notes |
Reasoning and aptitude | Formulas, shortcuts and question types you often miss | One-page formula sheets |
General awareness | Static facts, schemes, awards and appointments from the last 6 to 12 months | Weekly current-affairs list |
Computer knowledge | Hardware, office tools, shortcuts and internet terms | Quick-revision cards |
Group-Wise Focus Areas
Administrative groups: CCS rules, FR/SR and general administration are specific and easy to revise.
Clerical and attendant groups: general maths and English, with hospital and office practice for support posts.
Clinical and paramedical groups: your subject's core terms and standard procedures, such as nursing or pharmacy.
Engineering and trade groups: fundamentals of your discipline, with units, formulas and safety rules.
The group-wise topics are listed on the AIIMS CRE syllabus page. The official syllabus attached to the notification is the final authority.
A Simple Note-Making Method
Download the syllabus for your group and list every topic.
Read one topic from a standard book or class and close it.
Write the key points from memory in your own words.
Mark anything you could not recall and revisit it the next day.
Add a line on any question you got wrong in a mock test.
Revision Cycle
Revise each topic after one day, one week and one month. In the last two weeks, read only your formula sheets, weak-topic notes and current-affairs list. Notes that grow every week but are never revised do not help.
