How to Complete the Online Application
Follow these steps before submitting your form:
- Visit the official NNC application portal.
- Read the updated Test Guidelines for your examination category.
- Select the category that matches your academic qualification.
- Enter your personal and academic details exactly as they appear on your official documents.
- Upload clear, complete scans of every required certificate.
- Review the information and selected examination group.
- Pay the applicable fee through Khalti.
- Save your application details and payment record.
- Return to the portal later to check your application status and download your admit card.
Avoid uploading cropped, blurred or incomplete documents. A readable scan should show the entire document and all relevant information.
Required Documents and Eligibility Letter
The exact document list depends on your qualification and whether you completed your education in Nepal or another country. You should therefore follow the applicable Test Guidelines rather than relying on a general checklist.
Depending on your category, the required documents may include:
- Citizenship certificate or another accepted identification document
- Recent passport-size photograph
- SEE, SLC or equivalent academic documents
- Nursing or midwifery mark sheets, transcripts and character certificates
- Equivalence certificate, where applicable
- Existing professional registration certificate, where required
- Medical Education Commission Eligibility Letter, where applicable
- Candidate’s signature and payment record
The notice states that all necessary documents must have been issued by 2083/08/08 B.S., the regular application deadline. Candidates who cannot submit the complete required documents by the Council’s deadline will not be included in the examination.
If you enrolled in a program on or after October 1, 2020, check the current NNC guidelines carefully to determine how the Medical Education Commission Eligibility Letter requirement applies to your study route. Upload the letter when it is required for your category.
What to Bring on Examination Day
You must carry your original admit card to the examination center. You must also bring an original photo-identification document accepted by the Council, such as either:
- National Identity Card
- Citizenship certificate
- Passport
- Driving license
A photocopy may not be accepted as a substitute for the original identification document. Read every instruction printed on your admit card before traveling to the examination center.
For PCL Midwifery and Bachelor Midwifery candidates, the practical examination will take place after the theoretical examination. The relevant schedule will be communicated separately by the Council.
The NNC Examination Committee may also interview a candidate when it considers an interview necessary.
Prepare Without Ignoring the Application Process
Submitting the form and preparing for the examination are separate responsibilities. A strong study plan cannot correct an application submitted under the wrong category, and a correct application does not replace consistent preparation.
Start by reviewing the current syllabus and Test Guidelines. Then identify your weaker subjects, practice questions under time limits and revise the mistakes you make repeatedly. Your preparation should follow your own examination category rather than a generic question collection.
If you need help organizing your nursing license preparation, you can message our counselors on WhatsApp. Tell us your qualification, intended examination group and the subjects you find difficult so we can guide you toward an appropriate preparation plan.
