i)

All SNRC recognized Schools of Nursing running GNM course and found suitable by the Council under

Sections 13 and 14 of the Act are eligible to apply online for upgradation of the School to College of Nursing

inspection of such upgraded institutions within 3 years of upgradation.

The Schools of Nursing which are applying for upgradation in accordance with the para 4(i) above during the

academic year and accorded suitability by the Council, shall admit students only for the B.Sc. (Nursing)

 If the institution runs the GNM and B.Sc. (Nursing) both with 50 GNM and 50 B.Sc. (Nursing) admission
