Bangalore, officially Bengaluru, has several nursing institutions connected to medical colleges, multispecialty hospitals, or broader health-sciences campuses. These connections may give you access to clinical departments, simulation laboratories, community postings, and supervised hospital training during your BSc Nursing program.
However, the presence of a large hospital does not automatically guarantee stronger clinical training, a scholarship, employment, or eligibility for registration in Nepal. You must verify the nursing program’s approval for your admission year, the degree-awarding university, clinical rotation arrangements, complete fees, and Nepal-side requirements before paying.
If you are considering other degrees or cities, begin with Smart Academy’s guide to studying in India from Nepal.
This article compares seven nursing institutions associated with medical colleges or teaching hospitals in and around Bangalore. It is a comparison guide, not a ranking.
The college name in an advertisement may differ from the official nursing institution shown on regulatory and university documents.
BSc Nursing is normally a four-year, eight-semester program combining classroom learning, laboratory practice, community experience, and supervised clinical training.
Only Ramaiah and MVJ had sufficiently clear public fee information that could be cited directly during our review.
Fees shown in promotional material should be treated as planning estimates unless the college issues a signed, itemized fee schedule.
Hospital-based clinical training and employment placement are different. Access to a parent hospital does not guarantee a job after graduation.
As a student from Nepal, you should complete the applicable MEC Eligibility Letter and NOC requirements before beginning your studies.
Recognition must be confirmed for your exact admission year—not only from an older approval letter or a college website.

Currency Conversion Used
NPR estimates in this article use the Nepal Rastra Bank selling rate checked on November 4, 2026:
INR 100 = approximately NPR 160.15
Therefore, INR 1 is approximately NPR 1.6015. These are budgeting conversions, not amounts issued by the colleges. Banks and payment providers may apply different transaction charges.
1. East Point College of Nursing
About the College
East Point College of Nursing was established in 2004 and forms part of the East Point Group of Institutions in East Bangalore. Its nursing campus is connected to the wider East Point health-sciences environment and the group’s teaching hospital.
The Karnataka State Nursing Council’s 2025–26 list included East Point College of Nursing with a BSc Nursing intake of 100. You should still request the continuation approval applicable to your own admission year.
Courses and Academics
The college’s official program page describes BSc Nursing as a four-year program affiliated with Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences.
The curriculum includes areas such as:
- Anatomy and physiology
- Nursing foundations
- Pharmacology
- Adult health nursing
- Community health nursing
- Child health nursing
- Mental health nursing
- Midwifery
- Clinical rotations and community practice
The college publishes a baseline requirement of 45% in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and English, an age range of 17–35, and compulsory participation in the applicable KCET examination.
Tuition Fees and Scholarship Opportunities
East Point does not currently publish a sufficiently clear, complete four-year BSc Nursing fee schedule on its official website.
The promotional material supplied for this article quotes INR 11,50,000, or approximately NPR 18,41,700, including hostel and food. However, we could not match that amount to a current official fee notice. Other publicly available quotations show different totals.
Before paying, request a signed fee schedule showing:
- Tuition for all four years
- Hostel and food charges
- University and examination fees
- Clinical and laboratory charges
- Uniform, books, transport, and insurance
- Refundable deposits
- Annual fee increases
- Refund and withdrawal conditions
No Nepal-specific scholarship was publicly confirmed. Ask the college to assess your scholarship eligibility in writing instead of relying on a scholarship advertised for Indian citizens or Karnataka residents.
Clinical Training, Internship and Placements
East Point reports that students receive clinical exposure through the East Point Medical College Hospital, which the institution describes as a 1,000-bed teaching hospital.
This is useful as a clinical-training indicator, but you should ask for the actual semester-wise posting plan. Request details of the departments, community centers, supervised clinical hours, group sizes, and external hospital rotations.
The institution discusses possible nursing careers but does not publish enough cohort-specific placement data to verify employment outcomes. Clinical education should not be interpreted as a job guarantee.
Facilities
The official website lists:
- Nursing and clinical laboratories
- Library and digital learning resources
- Teaching hospital access
- Separate hostel arrangements
- Dining facilities
- Transport
- Sports and recreation
- Internet facilities
- Campus security
Check whether hostel residence is compulsory for international students and whether the quoted room and food costs remain fixed throughout the program.
Admission for Students from Nepal
The college publishes KCET as compulsory for BSc Nursing applicants. If you are applying from Nepal, obtain written confirmation of:
- Whether you must take KCET
- Which category or quota applies to you
- Whether AIU equivalence is required
- The university eligibility fee for a foreign qualification
- Which immigration or foreign-student reporting formalities apply
- Whether the college accepts the MEC Eligibility Letter and Nepal NOC in its document process
2. MS Ramaiah Institute of Nursing Education and Research
About the Institution
The nursing program associated with the Ramaiah name is offered through the MS Ramaiah Institute of Nursing Education and Research, not through Ramaiah Medical College itself.
The institute operates under Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences at the Gnanagangothri Campus on New BEL Road, Bengaluru.
Courses and Academics
The university’s official BSc Nursing page describes a four-year, eight-semester, full-time program with an intake of 100 students.
It combines:
- Foundational and core nursing subjects
- Elective modules
- Skill- and simulation-laboratory learning
- Hospital-based clinical education
- Community nursing
- Evidence-based practice
- Nursing leadership and research
The university states that international students must hold a qualification equivalent to Indian 10+2, obtain approval or equivalence through the Association of Indian Universities where applicable, and provide proof of English proficiency.
Tuition Fees and Scholarship Opportunities
For 2026–27, the university publishes a BSc Nursing fee of:
- INR 3,00,000 per year
- Approximately NPR 4,80,500 per year
- Four-year tuition estimate: INR 12,00,000
- Approximate four-year NPR equivalent: NPR 19,21,800
The published figure is described as the annual program fee. Hostel, food, deposits, examination charges, uniforms, books, travel, and other compulsory expenses should be confirmed separately.
The official course page does not publish a guaranteed scholarship for Nepal citizens. Ask the admissions office for a written scholarship assessment showing the award amount, eligible fee component, duration, and renewal conditions.
Clinical Training, Internship and Placements
The university reports that nursing students receive clinical training at Ramaiah Memorial Hospital and Ramaiah Medical College Hospital. Its nursing departments also describe laboratories equipped with nursing instruments and high-fidelity mannequins.
These hospital relationships support clinical learning, but they do not establish an employment guarantee. Ask the institute for recent BSc Nursing-specific information covering:
- Clinical rotations by semester
- Internship or integrated clinical-practice structure
- Number of students per clinical group
- Recent nursing recruiters
- Number of graduates receiving offers
- Employment eligibility for international graduates
Facilities
Published facilities include:
- Nursing skill and simulation laboratories
- Community health laboratory
- University library resources
- Clinical learning through two parent hospitals
- Hostel options
- Academic and student-support facilities on the wider university campus
Admission for Students from Nepal
Ramaiah provides one of the clearest published routes for foreign students among the seven institutions. You should still confirm:
- AIU equivalence for your Nepal Grade 12 qualification
- The entrance examination applicable to the 2026–27 or next intake
- University eligibility and international-student fees
- Hostel availability and total residential cost
- MEC Eligibility Letter and Nepal NOC requirements
- Documents issued after graduation for Nepal equivalence and registration
3. Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Institute of Nursing
About the Institution
The BSc Nursing program associated with Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Medical College is offered through the Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Institute of Nursing in Kadugondanahalli, Bengaluru.
The official BSc Nursing page states that the program is affiliated with Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences.
Courses and Academics
The institution describes BSc Nursing as a four-year program combining classroom education, practical learning, and hospital-based clinical training.
Its published eligibility information refers to 10+2 Science or an equivalent qualification with Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and English. One institution page publishes a 50% threshold, which is higher than the Indian Nursing Council’s general 45% baseline.
Applicants should follow the higher requirement until the college confirms otherwise in writing.
Tuition Fees and Scholarship Opportunities
The supplied promotional material quotes a four-year package of INR 11,20,000, or approximately NPR 17,93,700, including hostel and food.
We could not locate a matching current official fee notice. Treat this figure only as a planning estimate until the institute issues an itemized fee sheet.
No current Nepal-specific scholarship was publicly verified.
There is also a material intake discrepancy that should be resolved: the college’s course page states an annual intake of 100, while the Karnataka State Nursing Council’s 2025–26 list records an intake of 250. Ask the institution and university to confirm the exact approved intake and admission entity for your year.
Clinical Training, Internship and Placements
The nursing program is located within the Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Medical College and Hospital environment. The official page refers to teaching-hospital access and practical learning.
Before enrolling, ask for:
- The names of the hospitals used for each rotation
- Clinical departments covered
- Community-health posting locations
- Supervised clinical hours
- Internship or final-year practice structure
- Recent nursing-specific placement results
No reliable public evidence was found for a guaranteed placement or a defined employment rate.
Facilities
The official site refers to:
- Teaching-hospital facilities
- Laboratories
- Libraries
- Campus learning resources
- Student accommodation
A campus facility does not necessarily mean it is included in the published fee. Confirm room type, food, security, transport, curfew, and annual residential charges separately.
Admission for Students from Nepal
The institution states that 20 seats are allocated through Karnataka Examination Authority counseling and that the management oversees the remaining seats. This does not automatically confirm eligibility for a Nepal citizen.
Ask the college to confirm:
- The applicable international or management category
- Entrance-test requirements
- AIU or RGUHS equivalence
- Foreign-student registration formalities
- Required MEC and NOC documents
- Whether hostel residence is compulsory
- The exact degree-awarding and examining authority
4. MVJ College of Nursing
About the College
MVJ College of Nursing is located at the MVJ Medical College and Research Hospital campus in Hoskote, on the eastern side of Bangalore.
The college offers nursing education within a medical-college and parent-hospital setting.
Courses and Academics
The BSc Nursing program is a four-year course, including the program’s clinical and practical components.
The published baseline eligibility is 10+2 Science with Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and English, normally with at least 45% in the relevant subjects and a minimum age of 17.
The college also offers other nursing programs, but you should confirm which courses and intakes are approved for your intended year.
Tuition Fees and Scholarship Opportunities
MVJ’s official 2025–26 management-seat fee notice provides the clearest complete package among the institutions reviewed:
- First year: INR 3,50,000
- Second year: INR 3,00,000
- Third year: INR 3,00,000
- Fourth year: INR 3,00,000
- Four-year total: INR 12,50,000
- Approximate NPR equivalent: NPR 20,01,900
The published total includes listed tuition, clinical and community-health charges, skill laboratory, library, miscellaneous expenses, hostel, and mess fees.
However:
- This is a 2025–26 fee notice, not a confirmed 2026–27 figure.
- The notice states that fees are not refundable.
- You should confirm university examination fees, uniforms, books, transport, deposits, and any annual revision.
The college mentions government scholarships for eligible Karnataka categories and refers other students to India’s National Scholarship Portal. That does not confirm that a Nepal citizen qualifies. Obtain a written decision before including a scholarship in your budget.
Clinical Training, Internship and Placements
MVJ states that its parent hospital, MVJ Medical College and Research Hospital, has 1,045 beds.
The college says graduates may be considered for staff-nurse positions at the parent hospital and for clinical-instructor opportunities. This should be understood as a possible employment route—not a placement guarantee.
Ask for recent evidence showing how many international BSc Nursing graduates applied, were eligible, interviewed, and received offers.
Facilities
Published facilities include:
- Parent teaching hospital
- Nursing laboratories
- Library and internet facilities
- Hostel and food
- Transport
- Campus learning resources
The official FAQ states that hostel accommodation is optional, but international-student rules may differ. Confirm this before choosing off-campus accommodation.
Admission for Students from Nepal
MVJ’s FAQ states that a common entrance test applies to Indian, foreign, and NRI applicants.
Before applying, confirm:
- The exact entrance test and qualifying score
- Whether the route is through KEA, RGUHS, or college-level processing
- Equivalence requirements for Nepal Grade 12
- Foreign-student and university eligibility fees
- The current four-year package and refund terms
- MEC Eligibility Letter and Nepal NOC requirements
5. BGS Global Institute of Nursing Sciences
About the Institution
The nursing institution relevant to the BGS entry is BGS Global Institute of Nursing Sciences, located at BGS Health and Education City in Kengeri, Bengaluru.
It should not be confused with similarly named BGS nursing institutions in other Karnataka districts.
The Karnataka State Nursing Council’s 2025–26 list included BGS Global Institute of Nursing Sciences with a BSc Nursing intake of 250.
Courses and Academics
The institution’s official BSc Nursing page lists:
- Duration: four years
- University: Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences
- Eligibility: PUC, Plus Two, or an equivalent qualification
Because this description is less detailed than the Indian Nursing Council baseline, applicants should plan around the regulator’s Physics, Chemistry, Biology, English, age, fitness, and entrance requirements.
Tuition Fees and Scholarship Opportunities
The promotional material supplied for this article quotes INR 13,00,000, or approximately NPR 20,82,000, including hostel and food.
A matching current official fee notice was not found, so this should not be presented as a confirmed college charge.
Ask for an itemized fee sheet showing:
- Tuition
- Hostel and food
- University and examination charges
- Clinical and laboratory charges
- Uniform and books
- Transport
- Deposits
- Refund conditions
No Nepal-specific scholarship was publicly confirmed.
Clinical Training, Internship and Placements
The institute is located within BGS Health and Education City, alongside medical and hospital facilities. Nevertheless, you should ask the nursing institute to name the exact hospitals and community sites used by BSc Nursing students.
The official website refers to placement assistance, but assistance is not the same as a job offer. Ask for nursing-specific data rather than university-wide or group-wide placement claims.
Facilities
The institution reports access to:
- Nursing laboratories
- Library
- Separate hostel arrangements
- Food services
- Medical support
- Anti-ragging measures
- Campus and student activities
Verify room occupancy, hostel rules, food arrangements, distance from clinical postings, and whether transport is included.
Admission for Students from Nepal
The public course page does not explain the international admission route in enough detail. Before paying, obtain written confirmation of:
- The category under which a Nepali citizen is admitted
- Entrance or KEA requirements
- RGUHS equivalence
- Current approval for the intended intake
- Foreign-student reporting requirements
- Complete fees and refund policy
- MEC Eligibility Letter and Nepal NOC requirements
6. Vydehi Institute of Nursing Sciences and Research Centre
About the Institution
Vydehi Institute of Nursing Sciences and Research Centre was established in 2003 and is located within the Vydehi campus in Whitefield, Bengaluru.
The institute reports affiliation with Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences and approval or recognition from the relevant nursing authorities and the Government of Karnataka.
Courses and Academics
Vydehi offers:
- Basic BSc Nursing
- GNM
- Post Basic BSc Nursing
- MSc Nursing
The Basic BSc Nursing program is four years. The curriculum combines classroom learning, nursing laboratories, clinical practice, community postings, and simulation-based learning.
The institute’s website states an intake of 100 for Basic BSc Nursing, while the Karnataka State Nursing Council’s 2025–26 list shows an intake of 250. This discrepancy should be clarified before publication or admission.
Tuition Fees and Scholarship Opportunities
The supplied promotional material quotes INR 10,50,000, or approximately NPR 16,81,600, excluding hostel and food.
We could not locate a matching official public fee notice. Because Vydehi states that hostel residence is compulsory for students admitted to the college, the complete residential cost may be materially higher than the promotional tuition estimate.
The institute says it helps eligible students apply for government scholarships. It does not confirm that a Nepali citizen qualifies. Ask for a written scholarship assessment.
Clinical Training, Internship and Placements
Vydehi states that nursing students train through its 1,600-bed multispecialty hospital and its simulation facilities. The institute also reports that clinical learning begins from the first year and continues through internship or advanced practical training.
The institute says graduates may have opportunities to work in Vydehi Hospital. That is not an employment guarantee. Ask for recent BSc Nursing-specific recruitment numbers and the eligibility conditions applied to international graduates.
Facilities
Published facilities include:
- A multispecialty teaching hospital
- Nursing and clinical laboratories
- Vydehi Advanced Simulation Academy
- Library
- Community-health training
- Separate accommodation for male and female students
- Hostel security and wardens
- Mess and dining facilities
- Gymnasium and indoor activities
The official hostel page states that hostel residence is compulsory and that foreign students may be provided single rooms. Confirm room availability and the resulting fee before budgeting.
Admission for Students from Nepal
Ask the institute to confirm:
- Whether international applicants enter through KEA, management, or another approved route
- Entrance-examination requirements
- AIU or RGUHS equivalence
- Compulsory hostel cost
- Current approval and sanctioned intake
- Required MEC, NOC, and foreign-student documents
- Documents issued for Nepal equivalence after graduation
7. Akash Institute of Nursing
About the Institution
The BSc Nursing program associated with Akash Institute of Medical Sciences is offered by the Akash Institute of Nursing in Devanahalli, near Kempegowda International Airport.
The Karnataka State Nursing Council’s 2025–26 list included Akash Institute of Nursing with an intake of 250. The college’s official nursing page states that it is affiliated with RGUHS and approved by INC, KSNC, and the Government of Karnataka.
Courses and Academics
The four-year BSc Nursing program combines:
- Nursing theory
- Supervised clinical training
- Community-health exposure
- Skill and simulation laboratory practice
- Clinical documentation
- Leadership and professional development
Published eligibility includes a minimum age of 17, medical fitness, and 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and English with at least 45% aggregate.
Tuition Fees and Scholarship Opportunities
The supplied promotional material quotes INR 12,13,500, or approximately NPR 19,43,400, including hostel and food.
We could not verify that total against a current official fee notice. Request a signed fee schedule before using it as the basis of a financial decision.
Akash publishes scholarship information relating to its entrance test and Indian state or national schemes. Several listed schemes require documents such as Aadhaar, Indian income certificates, caste certificates, or an Indian bank account.
Therefore, a Nepal citizen should not assume eligibility. Ask the institution to confirm in writing:
- Which scholarship applies to international students
- The award amount
- Which fee components it covers
- Renewal requirements
- The payable balance after the scholarship
Clinical Training, Internship and Placements
Akash reports that its nursing programs are integrated with a 1,000-bed parent hospital and medical college. Published facilities include clinical skill and simulation laboratories covering nursing foundations, maternal and child health, community health, and medical-surgical nursing.
The institution also makes strong employment-related claims. Treat these as college-published statements unless supported by a recent nursing placement report. Ask for cohort-specific evidence and a written explanation of eligibility for Nepal citizens.
Facilities
Published facilities include:
- Parent teaching hospital
- Nursing skill and simulation laboratories
- Demonstration rooms
- Technology-enabled classrooms
- Library
- Separate hostel arrangements
- Mess and cafeteria
- Medical facilities
- Gymnasium and sports facilities
- Auditorium and campus activities

Admission Requirements for Students from Nepal
1. Meet the Academic Requirements
The Indian Nursing Council’s BSc Nursing eligibility criteria generally require:
- 10+2 Science or an equivalent qualification
- Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and English
- At least 45% aggregate in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology
- A minimum age of 17 by December 31 of the admission year
- Medical fitness
A college or university may set a higher threshold.
2. Confirm the Entrance Route
Entrance requirements vary between institutions. Some publish KCET or KEA requirements, while others use university, management, or international admission routes.
The Indian Nursing Council can issue intake-specific notifications affecting entrance requirements. Confirm the current rule with the college, university, and relevant admission authority before applying.
Smart Academy’s India nursing admission deadline update can help you identify recent regulator notices, but the latest official notice should always control your decision.
3. Obtain the MEC Eligibility Letter
Nepal’s Medical Education Commission states that students going abroad for a medical-education program leading to professional registration must obtain an Eligibility Letter.
Review the MEC eligibility guidance and use the MEC eligibility portal for the current application process.
Do this before making a non-refundable payment.
4. Obtain Nepal’s NOC
Nepal’s Ministry of Education requires a No Objection Certificate for overseas study. Medical-education applications normally require the applicable MEC document.
Use the official NOC application portal and confirm the latest requirements for your intake.
5. Confirm Equivalence Requirements
A university may require equivalence for your Nepal Grade 12 qualification. Ramaiah explicitly refers to Association of Indian Universities approval for foreign qualifications.
Ask each college whether you need:
- AIU equivalence
- University eligibility approval
- Migration or transfer certificates
- Subject-wise equivalence
- English-proficiency evidence
- Attested or translated documents
Smart Academy’s nursing study-abroad document checklist can help you organize your records.
6. Preserve Your Nepal Registration Route
The Nepal Nursing Council’s foreign-graduate licensing requirements may include:
- Academic certificates and transcripts
- Clinical-training records
- MEC Eligibility Letter
- Equivalence certificate
- Evidence that the institution was recognized by the appropriate authority
- Additional documents required by the Council
- Completion of the applicable licensing process
Read the Nepal Nursing Council BSc Nursing licensing guideline before enrolling.
Recognition should be checked before admission, not after graduation. For a fuller overview, read Smart Academy’s BSc Nursing in India guide for students from Nepal.
How to Compare the Seven Institutions
Ask every institution the same questions:
- Is the BSc Nursing program approved for my exact admission year and intake?
- Which university will award my degree?
- Under which category will I be admitted as a Nepal citizen?
- Which entrance examination must I take?
- Which hospitals and community sites will I attend each semester?
- How many supervised clinical hours are scheduled?
- How many students are placed in each clinical group?
- What is the complete four-year cost, including every compulsory charge?
- Is hostel residence compulsory?
- Which scholarship, if any, applies specifically to a Nepal citizen?
- What is refundable if I cannot obtain the required Nepal documents?
- What documents will the college issue for Nepal equivalence and Nursing Council registration?
- Which employers recruited the latest eligible BSc Nursing cohort?
- How many nursing students received offers, rather than only attending interviews?
If an admissions representative will not provide written answers about recognition, fees, refunds, or clinical training, pause before paying.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is BSc Nursing in Bangalore valid in Nepal?
An Indian BSc Nursing degree is not automatically registered in Nepal merely because the college advertises INC or state-council approval. Your route depends on the institution’s recognition during your study period, Nepal-side documentation, equivalence, and the Nepal Nursing Council’s licensing requirements.
Do students from Nepal need KCET for BSc Nursing?
Some institutions publish KCET or KEA requirements, while others use a university or international route. Confirm the exact rule for your intake. Do not rely on an older admission cycle.
Do Nepal citizens need an Indian student visa?
Nepal nationals generally do not require an Indian visa to travel to India. However, the exemption does not remove university identification, foreign-student registration, residence, Form S, academic, or institutional reporting requirements.
Confirm the current requirements through the Embassy of India in Kathmandu and your chosen institution.
Are hostel and food included in the quoted fee?
Not always. MVJ’s verified 2025–26 package includes listed hostel and mess fees, while Ramaiah’s public course fee does not confirm that accommodation and food are included. Vydehi states that hostel residence is compulsory, making its residential cost especially important to verify.
Can a Nepal citizen receive a scholarship?
Possibly, but many Indian state and national schemes require citizenship, domicile, Aadhaar, category certificates, or an Indian bank account. Obtain a written scholarship assessment from the institution before calculating your payable fee.
Does training in a parent hospital guarantee employment?
No. Clinical training, internship or integrated practice, placement assistance, an interview, and a confirmed job offer are different outcomes. Ask for BSc Nursing-specific placement evidence.
Final Considerations
A medical-college or teaching-hospital connection can be valuable, but the name of the hospital should not be the only reason you choose an institution.
Compare the seven institutions using:
- Current approval and affiliation
- Degree-awarding university
- Clinical posting quality
- Complete four-year cost
- Hostel and food arrangements
- Entrance route
- Scholarship eligibility
- Refund conditions
- Nepal equivalence and registration requirements
- Verified nursing-specific outcomes
Smart Academy can help you compare institutions, organize documents, understand published fee structures, and prepare your application. Final admission, scholarship, registration, and employment decisions remain with the relevant institutions and authorities.
