Candidates must also be at least 17 years of age as on December 31 of the admission year.

Ans. GNM graduates are eligible for nursing roles at government and private hospitals, primary health centres, community health centres, and district hospitals across Rajasthan.

The GNM credential is also valid for registration with the Rajasthan Nursing Council, enabling licensed nursing practice.
