B.Sc Nursing — frequently asked questions
Is NEET required for B.Sc Nursing?
It depends on the state and the institution. Several states and central institutions require NEET UG; many private colleges admit on class 12 Biology marks or their own entrance test. Confirm with the specific institution for the current admission cycle.
Is the institution's recognition important?
Critically. The college must be recognised by the Indian Nursing Council and the State Nursing Council, and it must have an attached or affiliated hospital of adequate bed strength. An unrecognised degree cannot be registered and cannot be practised on.
