Prabha, at this point in time, there are no male Nursing Candidates in the Indian Army. The provision is only available for Female Candidates to work as Nurses in the Indian Army and so there is no reason why the course would be applicable for Male candidates. For being eligible for Indian Army B.Sc Nursing, a female candidate who is an Indian National and is either single, divorced or unmarried can apply. And the Candidate should have been born between October 1st 1995 to September 30th, 2003. So just to answer your question, Indian Army B.Sc Nursing is only for female Candidates.

To be eligible for Indian Arm,y B.Sc Nursing, you should have completed your 10+2 with English, Physics, Chemistry and Biology as your subjects. If you have studied Mathematics and not Biology, unfortunately you are not eligible for this entrance examination. You cannot fill the application form.

Hello dear student,

Perhaps yes there is no problem and I don't think a girl with skin problem is rejected in medical examination in Indian army for BSC nursing if the disease is is non infectious. Otherwise in the disease communicable or infectious then they might the chances of rejection. while usually skin problems are not infectious and they can be suited with the proper medication. I hope this helps

Best wishes
