Top 10 BSc (Nursing) Colleges in India: Courses, admission & duration
Top 10 (Nursing) Colleges in India: Choosing the right college is the first step toward a successful career in nursing — a profession that blends compassion, science, and service. India, with its vast and diverse healthcare landscape, is home to some of the finest institutions offering BSc Nursing programmes. These colleges not only provide rigorous academic training but also emphasise hands-on clinical experience, research, and holistic development. Whether you're aiming to work in top-tier hospitals, pursue advanced studies, or serve in community health, the colleges featured in this list stand out for their infrastructure, faculty, and reputation. From AIIMS Delhi to Christian Medical College Vellore, these institutions have consistently set benchmarks in nursing education. Before we delve into colleges and courses, it's important to know how nursing admissions are conducted in India. Is it based on Class 12 scores, or is a separate entrance exam conducted? BSc Nursing admissions are determined through a combination of merit and entrance exam performance. To be eligible for admission into a BSc Nursing programme, candidates must have completed Class 12 with at least 55 per cent aggregate marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology from a recognised board. While many institutions primarily base admissions on Class 12 scores, several also consider entrance exam results as part of their selection criteria. Some of the widely accepted entrance exams for BSc Nursing admission include KCET, AP EAMCET, JENPAS UG, TS EAMCET, NEET, and CUET, among others. Although NEET is not mandatory for admissions to BSc nursing; however, certain colleges consider the scores for shortlisting candidates. BSc Nursing is a 4-year undergraduate programme in AIIMS, Delhi, with 77 seats. The number of seats can vary as the official website of AIIMS's College of Nursing was last updated on September 21, 2015. For admission, students have to appear for NEET. Other than BSc, there are a few more courses in nursing by AIIMS, like BSc (Post-Basic) Nursing, MSc Nursing, which includes various branches like Pediatric Nursing, Psychiatric Nursing, Cardiological/CTVS Nursing, Neurological Nursing, Oncological Nursing, Critical Care Nursing and Nephrological Nursing. For AIIMS, a BSc nursing student has to give Rs 600 as a tuition fee, Rs 960 as a pot money, Rs 480 as a hostel rent, Rs 100 for caution money and Rs 1000 as a security amount for hostel security, which is refundable. The Chandigarh-based medical college has two nursing courses at the graduate level, BSc Nursing and BSc Nursing (Post Basic). For BSc Nursing, a student should have completed Class 10 and 12 with Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and English. The age of the student should be between 17-25 years. They also offer an MSc in Nursing with various branches like Medical, Surgical and Community Health Nursing specialities. There are a few other nursing courses, and the admission for them is conducted once a year. The selection to these courses is based on an entrance examination, which is scheduled in June. Candidates belonging to foreign countries are required to route their applications through the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. They have to obtain an eligibility certificate from the Registrar of the PGIMER, Chandigarh, along with a clearance certificate from the Indian Nursing Council and submit it along with the application. Students who are interested in taking admission will have to pay Rs 1,000 for the tuition fee, Rs 11,300 for the hostel fee and Rs 5,700 one-time payment. The College of Nursing at Christian Medical College (CMC), Vellore, was established in 1946. It offers a range of programmes, including BSc Nursing, Post Basic BSc, Nursing, and various diploma courses. The departments span specialities such as Community Health, Maternity, Pediatric, Psychiatric, and Medical-Surgical Nursing. The college is affiliated with Tamil Nadu Dr MGR Medical University and recognised by the Indian Nursing Council. Scholarships are also available for deserving students. The BSc Nursing fee structure is spread across four years with slight variations each year. The tuition fee remains constant at Rs 810 annually. In the first year, the other annual fee, including the cost of the uniform, is Rs 19,130, which decreases to Rs 8,590 in the second year, Rs 6,740 in the third year, and slightly increases to Rs 8,290 in the fourth year.

The hostel and mess fee is Rs 31,100 in the first year and Rs 29,900 per year from the second to fourth year. The College of Nursing at NIMHANS, Bengaluru, provides undergraduate and postgraduate nursing programmes with an emphasis on clinical excellence and research. Students receive hands-on training in psychiatric nursing, neurological care, and community mental health. The curriculum integrates theoretical knowledge with practical exposure in departments such as Psychiatry, Neurology, and Neurosurgery. The total cost for the full duration of the BSc Nursing program at NIMHANS in 2025 is Rs 1.4 lakh, which includes Rs 20,000 as tuition fees. Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER), Puducherry, offers a comprehensive four-year BSc Nursing programme designed to prepare students for professional nursing careers. The curriculum includes foundational subjects such as Anatomy, Physiology, Nutrition, and Nursing Foundations in the first year, followed by advanced topics like Medical-Surgical Nursing, Child Health Nursing, Mental Health Nursing, and Midwifery in subsequent years. A 24-week paid internship in the final year is mandatory for the students. Admission is based on NEET UG scores, and the programme has an intake of 94 students annually.

Acer join hands with Plumage Solutions for Puducherry IT hardware unit
Acer, one of India's leading technology brands, has partnered with Plumage Solutions to expand domestic manufacturing of IT hardware at a new, state-of-the-art facility in Puducherry. Established under the Government of India's Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for IT Hardware, the collaboration marks a significant step in Acer's commitment to the 'Make in India' mission. Building on its ongoing partnership with Plumage—which includes production of computer monitors, all-in-one (AIO) desktops, servers, workstations, and power adapters—the new facility aims to scale Acer's India operations. The investment is part of Acer India's localisation roadmap, focused on boosting domestic production, reducing import dependence, and meeting demand from urban and emerging markets. The Puducherry facility will improve supply chain efficiency, shorten delivery timelines, and enable Acer to offer competitive price points. Spread over a large area, the unit has an annual production capacity of 300,000 laptops and is expected to create high-skill jobs, boosting the local economy and supporting India's ambition to be a global electronics manufacturing hub. The Plumage Group plans to invest Rs 50 crore over three to four years to support Acer's capacity and capability expansion. 'India is not just a key market for Acer, it's a strategic pillar for our future growth. With this new manufacturing facility in Puducherry, we are proud to take another step toward supporting the Government of India's vision of self-reliance in electronics,' said Harish Kohli, President and Managing Director, Acer India. 'The collaboration with Plumage allows us to bring global processes, cutting-edge technology, and high-quality standards to domestic manufacturing.' Sudhir Goel, Chief Business Officer, Acer India, said: 'With a production capacity of 300,000 laptops, this facility enhances our manufacturing capabilities and reinforces our commitment to local value addition and self-reliance. As demand for Acer devices grows, this unit will be key to faster go-to-market and maintaining quality excellence.' Mukesh Gupta, Managing Director, Plumage Group, said: 'We are delighted to partner with Acer in this new phase of India's manufacturing journey. By combining Acer's product expertise with our engineering and manufacturing capabilities, we aim to set new benchmarks for quality, efficiency, and innovation.' Over the past 25 years, Acer has built its reputation as one of India's most trusted PC brands, with offerings across consumer, gaming, and enterprise segments. The Puducherry facility's output will cater to domestic and, over time, global demand, contributing to India's electronics exports and deepening engagement with education, government, and enterprise customers. By localising production and aligning with national priorities, Acer aims to help transform India from an import-heavy IT hardware market into a self-sustaining, export-oriented manufacturing hub.
