FAQs

  1. What is the difference between GNM Nursing and B.Sc Nursing?
    While both degrees lead to a nursing profession in healthcare, there are notable variations between the two programs. GNM is a 3-year diploma program, whereas BSc Nursing is a full-time undergraduate degree that lasts four years. The GNM syllabus focuses on the fundamentals of nursing and healthcare, whereas the BSc Nursing syllabus is more comprehensive and in-depth. GNM nurses are generally staff nurses, but BSc Nursing graduates have a significantly more extensive range of professional options and opportunities for growth. In addition, they are better rewarded than GNM nurses.

     
  2. Do I have to clear NEET to pursue a B.Sc in nursing?
    Candidates are not required to take the NEET exam to pursue a B.Sc Nursing degree. The top nursing colleges in India, like AIIMS Delhi and PGIMER, conduct entrance exams to select students. State-level entrance exams are also conducted to choose students for nursing courses in different states.

     
  3. Is B.Sc Nursing only for girls?
    B.Sc Nursing is a course open to all, regardless of gender. It is a field where anyone with a passion for nursing can pursue their career.

     
  4. Which is better: BSc Nursing or B.Sc Post Basic Nursing?
    If you're considering a career in nursing, it's essential to understand the differences between BSc Nursing and B.Sc Post Basic Nursing. B.Sc Nursing is a good choice for individuals looking for entry-level education in nursing. It provides a foundation in nursing theory and clinical skills.
