Dear aspirant

I think you might be aware about NTA public notice realised on August 6. You can check the same on ntaneet.nic.in. the public notice tell that Indian nursing council have decided to take neet marks in consideration for the bsc nursing courses. So BSC nursing admission in most of the college will happen through neet 2021 marks/ranks. Although there is no mention it is mandatory or what. You can confirm by enquiring in the college you want to take admission whether they will take admission on neet marks or by another entrance process.

The minimum eligibility for bsc nursing provided by INC are.

Hello aspirant,


No, it is not compulsory to appear for NEET if you want to take admission in bsc nursing. Many universities conduct entrance exams on the University level like Banaras Hindu University, Christian medical college, Mahatma Gandhi Mission University, Indian army.

But mostly all top universities give admission to this course on the basis of NEET score.

I hope this information helps you.
