FAQs

Questions We Hear Every Day

Answers to the most common questions from students exploring nursing careers.

B.Sc Nursing is a 4-year degree programme that opens more senior roles and allows direct PG admission for M.Sc Nursing. GNM is a 3.5-year diploma that produces job-ready nurses faster and is widely accepted by government hospitals. Both are regulated by the Indian Nursing Council.

It depends on the state and institution. Some states like Karnataka require NEET-UG for B.Sc Nursing in government colleges. Private colleges in many states admit based on 12th marks or their own entrance exam. Our counsellors will clarify the exact requirement for your target state.
