Nursing Colleges in Jammu and Kashmir - 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.

It aims at childcare, premature birth, illness or defects after birth.
