BSc Nursing

NEET is an entrance examination primarily for Medical and Dental courses across India. There are plenty of colleges that, on the basis of entrance examinations, offer nursing courses that include KCET, NEET, JKCET, CUET, IPU CET, and KEAM. Students should check the admission requirements of the nursing programs they are applying to. So while some colleges may accept NEET scores, it is not universally mandatory for all nursing programs in Dehradun.

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.

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.
