Hey,

Admission process for nursing does not follow a national level exam for all institutes and there are many exams depending on state as well as institutions. Some colleges/private universities grant admission based on grade 12 percentage.

Maharashtra state grants admission to all health science degrees (Medical, BDS, BAMS, BHMS, Physiotherapy, BASLP, Occupational therapy, nursing, ) based on NEET score for all govt, aided colleges and admission is through centralized counselling. Some institutes like Bharati Vidyapeeth conduct their own entrance exam.

All India exams are conducted by universities/institutions like BHU, AIIMS, PGI Chandigarh, CMC Vellore, JIPMER Pudducherry etc.

To join the armed forces as a nurse (open only for females), one has to go through military nursing service entrance exam and medical test to get admission into the course, after which they will join the Navy/Army/IAF.

Hope this helps.
