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.

Unfortunately, there are no nursing colleges in Rajasthan offering zero academic fees. Most government nursing colleges charges extremely low tuition fees, but do levy nominal annual fees between INR 2000 to 200000 varying on student's gender and category, and also consider caution money or hostel charges.

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.

Nursing are the top Nursing programmes accepted in top colleges.

This depends on your NEET/entrance score and budget. Government colleges like SMS Jaipur offer much lower fees but come with higher cutoffs and tougher competition. Private colleges like JNU or Apex University offer more flexible admission but at a higher cost. Discussions generally lean towards recommending government colleges first if you can secure a seat, given the cost advantage.

Admission takes place mainly through the RUHS Nursing Entrance Exam and then counselling by merit and category. This is valid for most Government and many private affiliated colleges of the University. Cutoffs vary each year on the basis of the number of applicants and the difficulty level. Hence, always register on time and keep track of the counselling schedule.
