GNM

Yes, arts students are eligible for the GNM (General Nursing and Midwifery) course, provided they have at least forty to forty-five percent marks in Class 12. In Kolkata, colleges like Peerless College of Nursing and Chittaranjan Seva Sadan School of Nursing offer GNM programs. Admission is through West Bengal Joint Entrance for Nursing or merit-based counselling.

You can obtain GNM question papers for all subjects on educational websites such as Exam Updates, NursingMantra, and SarkariExam, and from YouTube channels belonging to nursing educators, nursing guidebooks, Telegram/WhatsApp study groups, and occasionally on official state nursing council websites

For the General Nursing and Midwifery—commonly called GNM—at S.B.S. College of Nursing, the fee is generally set by government guidelines and typically falls in the range of one Lacs to one Lacs twenty thousand rupees for the complete course duration of three years. This can sometimes vary a little due to updates or any additional administrative charges, so it's wise to always confirm directly with the college administration for the latest figure. Usually, you are able to pay the fees in yearly instalments rather than all at once, which often helps many families to plan comfortably for the payments.

The government Nursing College Mysore is likely the nursing college in Mysore with the lowest fees with an estimated fee of INR 28000 other colleges their fees are significantly higher or not publicly listed

Most GNM programs require Class 12; HSLC (Class 10) alone isn't enough. If you've finished Class 12 with forty to forty-five percent, you can apply (Science preferred, but many states allow Arts/Commerce). The hospital/college typically follows state nursing counselling or its own merit list/entrance test, plus medical fitness and interview. Fees hover from fifty thousand to one lakh fifty thousand rupees per year. If you only have HSLC, first complete Class 12 (NIOS/open school is fine), or opt for ANM, then bridge to GNM/B.Sc Nursing later.

Yes, typically St. John's conducts its own test and interview/aptitude assessment for GNM, focusing on basic sciences, English, and general aptitude, followed by medical fitness and document checks. Seats are limited and category/service quotas may exist. Keep Class 10/12 marksheets, baptism certificate (if applicable), domicile, caste/EWS, and experience certificates ready. Always confirm the latest prospectus processes and dates shift slightly every year.

Most states kick off GNM notifications between May and August, soon after Class 12 results. Government nursing councils/DMEs handle centralised counselling; private colleges run parallel merit lists or entrance tests/interviews. Track your state nursing council website + college portals. Eligibility is usually Class 12 (Science preferred, but many accept Arts/Commerce) with forty to forty? five percent marks, plus age 17+. Fees vary widely—government institutes can be under fifty thousand rupees a year; private ones can cross one Lacs rupees.
