SGPGI Nursing Officer Stage 2 Admit Card 2026 Out – Mains Exam 1 Nov

Tomorrow is the exam. If you are on the SGPGI Stage-II eligible list and you still haven’t downloaded your admit card, stop reading other updates and get this one done first. The Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences (SGPGIMS), Lucknow, released the Stage-II (Mains) admit card on 30 October 2026, and the exam itself is on Sunday, 1 November 2026. That’s barely a day’s gap, so there’s no room for a “I’ll do it tonight” plan that slips.

Here’s the honest answer to the question everyone is asking: yes, the card is live right now on the institute’s recruitment portal, sgpgims.eapplynow.com. It covers two posts — Nursing Officer and Hospital Attendant Grade-II — under the I/08/Rectt/2025-26 advertisement series. The Stage-II exam is offline, pen-and-paper, and it is being held in Lucknow district only. Your centre, reporting time and shift are printed on your own card, not in any news article, so the card is the document that matters.

SGPGI Stage-II Admit Card 2026 at a Glance

Who Can Actually Sit This Exam?

Not every applicant from the original recruitment gets a Stage-II card. This round is only for candidates named on the institute’s official eligible lists. SGPGI published two lists: one for Nursing Officer, running to 4,600 candidates across 101 pages, and one for Hospital Attendant Grade-II, running to 3,558 candidates across 78 pages. The lists carry serial numbers, application sequence numbers starting with SG25, and roll numbers — no names and no marks.

Stage-I, the preliminary round, was held back in June 2026. If your roll number isn’t on the Stage-II eligible list, the portal won’t hand you a card, and turning up at a centre won’t help. Check the list on sgpgims.org.in first if you have any doubt, then download the card. Seriously — don’t leave that check to exam morning.

How to Download the SGPGI Stage-II Admit Card

1. Open the recruitment portal at sgpgims.eapplynow.com.
2. Look for the link marked “Admit Card Released for MAINS EXAMINATION (STAGE-II)”.
3. Choose your post — Nursing Officer or Hospital Attendant Grade-II.
4. Enter your application number, date of birth and the captcha shown on screen.
5. Download the admit card, save the PDF on your phone, and print at least two copies.

One trap to avoid: make sure the card you download says Stage-II. The Stage-I card from June is a different document and it will not get you into tomorrow’s exam hall. The post name on the card should match the post you applied for, and the exam date should read 1 November 2026.

Check These Details the Moment You Download It

• Your name, roll number and application number — spelled exactly as in your application.
• Post name, exam date, reporting time and exam timing.
• Centre name and full address. Lucknow district only, but Lucknow is a big district — don’t assume you know which centre.
• Your photograph and signature, clearly visible and not blurred.
• The instructions printed on the card itself. Those beat any blog post, including this one.

If anything looks wrong — a misspelt name, a missing photo, a centre you can’t place — contact the institute through the contact details on sgpgims.org.in straight away. With the exam tomorrow, waiting until the morning is a gamble you don’t need.

Exam-Day Kit: Don’t Be That Candidate

You know the drill, but exam-morning rush makes smart people forget simple things. Printed admit card, a valid photo ID in original, and a couple of pens for a pen-and-paper paper. Reach the centre well before the reporting time on your card — late entry rules are strict and nobody at the gate will bend them because your cab was slow. Keep your phone and bag arrangements sorted in advance, because most centres won’t store them for you.

And one small thing that genuinely helps: visit the centre location on a map tonight. Knowing the route in advance takes one worry off a morning that already has enough of them.

What Stage-II Actually Decides

Stage-II is the mains — the round that decides who goes forward to the final stages of this recruitment. Stage-I only filtered the field; it doesn’t carry you into a post on its own. That changes how you should treat tomorrow. This isn’t a paper to “attempt and see”. It’s the paper that counts, and the candidates who treat it that way are the ones who revise their core nursing and attendant-syllabus topics tonight instead of scrolling through last-minute guess papers.

There’s also a practical point most candidates overlook: the eligible list itself. If a friend tells you they got a card but your login shows nothing, don’t assume the portal is broken. Check the eligible list PDF first. The lists are long — 101 pages for Nursing Officer alone — so use the find function with your roll number rather than scrolling. And if you are on the list, download the card from the portal link marked for the mains exam, not from any third-party “direct link” doing the rounds on messaging apps. Those links sometimes point to old Stage-I pages, and a wrong card discovered at the gate is a problem nobody can fix for you.
