Overview
- 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.
