No, ANM nursing courses have not been discontinued nationwide.

On the other hand, States like West Bengal, Bihar and UP are officially continuing ANM nursing courses.

Choosing ANM nursing or GNM courses depends upon your career path and interests. An ANM degree is beneficial for people who want a shorter course and want to start working as fast as possible.ANM nursing is specially beneficial for people from non Science background. GNM course is better for people who want broader career opportunities, advanced clinical training, or the option to later transition into a Post-Basic BSc Nursing degree.
