The B.Sc Nursing has the details. Not sure whether a degree or a diploma suits you? Our guide on B.Sc Nursing vs GNM can help you choose.
General Nursing and Midwifery (GNM) is a diploma so GNM gets you onto the wards sooner. At PPNC GNM runs for three years followed by an internship. You will learn care, health promotion, disease prevention and community health with plenty of hands‑on practice.
GNM also suits students from arts or commerce because GNM welcomes Class 12 from any stream and I have seen many students, from those backgrounds thrive.
10+2 (any stream), minimum 40%, age 17 to 35
3 years + 6 months internship
10th and 12th marksheets, TC, Aadhaar, photographs, medical certificate

If you are comparing GNM colleges, ask each one about the internship, hospital postings and options for further study. Our GNM course covers all three, and the guide to GNM duration, eligibility and careers goes deeper.
