FAQs
- 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.
- 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.
