GNM

Of course you can. GNM is a diploma-level course that can be pursued after Class 12. In fact, many GNM colleges do not even require applicants to have a Science background in Class 12. You just need to pass Class 12 or equivalent from a recognised institution, and you can apply for the GNM course.

After a GNM course, you can explore several job options like a GNM Nurse, Midwife, Home Nurse, Travel Nurse, etc. As a fresher, you can expect a salary of INR 2.3 LPA in India, and with some years of experience, package will get higher.

Starting salary of a GNM Nurse also depends on employer. Many companies like Archean Chemical Industries, Asian Vivekanand Super Specialty Hospital, Maa Janki Hospital & Research Centre, etc., offer INR 5 - 8 LPA.

The GNM course fee at Woodland College of Nursing, Kolkata is approximately INR 1.59 Lacs per year (about 4.78 Lacs in total). Exact fees for Woodland Institute of Nursing, Shillong are not publicly available — contact the institute directly for accurate details.
