Eligibility Criteria

Passed 10+2 (or equivalent) with English as a subject.

Vocational ANM or recognized healthcare-science vocational qualification is also acceptable in some cases.
Candidate must be medically fit.
Age criteria: minimum 17 years at time of admission. (Though I couldn’t find a definitive public maximum age limit for all categories — many GNM programs list upper age ~35 years; but this can vary.)

Minimum Education

The GNM programme at Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Institute of Nursing is a 3-year diploma that provides foundational nursing education combining theoretical knowledge and practical clinical exposure.
The curriculum includes core subjects such as anatomy & physiology, biological sciences, fundamentals of nursing, first aid, community health nursing, medical-surgical nursing, midwifery & gynecological nursing, child health nursing, mental health nursing, and community health. Practical training in affiliated hospitals gives students hands-on experience in wards, maternity units, community health settings — essential for real-world nursing responsibilities.
After completing GNM, graduates are eligible to register as nurses, work as staff nurses or midwives in hospitals, clinics, community health centers, and pursue further studies such as Post-Basic B.Sc Nursing (PB B.Sc) to upgrade their qualification.
The institute supports practical learning by providing teaching hospital attachments, labs, libraries, and hostel facilities — helping students develop both academic and professional competencies.
