NEET is not mandatory for B.Sc Nursing admissions in most of the states, like Tamil Nadu. But some nursing colleges attached to apex medical institutions or deemed universities consider NEET as a part of their selection process. Nerin or more of the colleges consider Class 12 merit. You should always confirm the post directly.

For most nursing programmes, you need to have completed Class 12 from a recognised board. For B.Sc Nursing and GNM, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (PCB) in Class 12 is mandatory in most colleges. The minimum percentage required is usually 45% to 50% in PCB combined. For M.Sc Nursing, you need a B.Sc Nursing degree with at least 55% marks and usually one year of clinical experience.

Most GNM programs in Dehradun require candidates to have completed Class 12. For GNM, the eligibility is Class 12 in any stream, preferably science, with 40% marks. So even students from non-science backgrounds can pursue GNM as long as they have completed Class 12 with the required marks.

Yes. Internships are a mandatory for all BSc Nursing graduates in Dehradun or across India. According to the INC guidelines, all BSc Nursing students must complete a 1-year internship, also known as a clinical posting, in a hospital or healthcare facility. This gives students real patient care experience that no classroom can replicate and is essential for becoming a confident and competent nurse.

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.
