Nursing Colleges in Goa - Courses, Fees, Admissions 2026, Cutoff, Placements

While NEET UG is widely accepted and required for government colleges and most deemed universities, many private nursing colleges also offer admission based on their own institutional entrance exams or merit in Class 12. Many colleges accept students on merit basis and through entrance exams other than NEET. Students who could not score well in NEET can still find good private colleges through institutional exams like MET, SRMJEEH, and state-level nursing council exams.

NEET UG is widely accepted for govt. and deemed universities. MET for Manipal and exams by CMC Vellore, Amrita, SRMJEEH are conducted by institutions. Nursing councils of individual states conduct state level exams. Many colleges conduct merit admission based on Class 12 marks. Hence, even with a low NEET score students can secure admission through various other opportunities.

Hi, AIIMS Delhi is the top BSc Nursing college in India according to NIRF 2025 under the Medical category, securing 1st position as the No. 1 college followed by PGIMER and CMC Vellore.

PB BSc or Post Basic BSc Nursing is a 2 year undergraduate nursing course specialisation for registered nurses with an ANM certificate or GNM diploma. 

It is a good degree for students who want to move from basics to more advanced education if they want to pursue roles in leadership or teaching.

Institute of Nursing Education, Bambolim has below criteria for taking admissions to it's various courses:

Courses	Eligibility
B.Sc.	Candidate must have completed the age of 17 years on or before 31st December of the academic year of admission to become eligible for admission to First Year.
ANM	Candidate must be 17 years of age or before 31st December of the year in which admission is sought.

Comparing two nursing courses and deciding the better course is subjective to each student. If we talk about comparing Obstetrics & Gynaecology Nursing and Neonatal, Infant & Newborn Nursing, it depends entirely if the student wants to care for the mother or the child. The OBGYN specialisation focuses on women's reproductive health, labour, pregnancy and postpartum care. The neonatal specialisation is more about newborns. It aims at childcare, premature birth, illness or defects after birth.

Yes,  you can. According to the Indian Nursing Council, the minimum age of an applicant must be 17 years,  whereas the maximum limit is 35 years. You will need verified documents like 12th marksheet, Aadhar Card, etc.
