Hi

Yes, you can get admission in Bsc nursing even without NEET.

This is because,

NEET is not mandatory for bsc nursing.

It's just that nursing colleges are free to choose  NEET as their entrance examination but as of now only a few nursing colleges like BHU, JIPMER, IPU etc have started accepting NEET for bsc nursing.

Without NEET, you can get admission through other entrance examinations like:-

  • AIIMS Bsc Nursing entrance exam

  • Indian Army BSc Nursing entrance exam

  • AFMC Nursing Exam
