Nursing College Admission for Dimapur Students, GNM and B.Sc Nursing for 2026-2027
Deciding on a nursing college is a choice. It becomes more difficult when the college is far from home. Many students who look for nursing admission in Dimapur often consider colleges outside Nagaland and Pranav Paramedical Nursing College (PPNC) in Agartala, Tripura, can be a place to start your healthcare career.
PPNC is recognized by the Tripura Nursing Council. We help students from Dimapur, Chumoukedima and across the Northeast with GNM admission and B.Sc. nursing admission. We help with choosing the course, getting documents ready, applying and adjusting to a new city. This page explains how it works for the 2026-27 session. You will find the courses, who’s eligible to apply, the steps to follow, the costs to prepare for and how to travel.
Why Many Dimapur Students Now Look Beyond Nagaland
Nursing options in Nagaland have changed. Students and families are exploring different routes to continue their nursing education.
Nursing options in Nagaland have changed. Starting with the 2025-26 session, the Nagaland Health Department has ended the GNM course in the government nursing schools. Has turned those schools into colleges that offer B.Sc Nursing.
CUET-UG Admission & PCB Requirements
Admission to the B.Sc Nursing program is through CUET-UG. Seats are limited. The B.Sc Nursing program requires Physics, Chemistry and Biology in Class 12.
What if a Dimapur student studied Arts or Commerce? What if a Dimapur student wants the GNM route or if a Dimapur student simply missed a seat?
Where else can a Dimapur student study nursing without losing a year?
Many families in Dimapur, Chumoukedima, Kohima and Mokokchung are asking this question.
Agartala is one answer. It is a well-connected city in the Northeast. PPNC offers both GNM and B.Sc. Nursing there.
It will not suit everyone. If you want to stay in Nagaland and have a CUET score, colleges close to home may serve you well.
Families Across Nagaland
Many families in these locations are considering nursing education options beyond Nagaland.
Our job is to help you compare your options. We do not want to push you into one.

Fees, Hostel and Daily Costs
Your cost depends on the services you choose, so we do not print one fixed number here. A wrong figure on a website only creates trouble later.
Think of it in three parts:
College Fee
This is set by the college. Enquire with us or the college directly for the fee for your course and session.
Hostel
Optional. If you want us to arrange your stay, the cost depends on the type of room.
Food
Also optional. You can take meals with the hostel service. Manage them on your own.

Have a Limited Budget?
If your budget is tight, tell us at the start. We will explain which costs are fixed and which you can adjust so there are no surprises later.
