Remarks
There are two ways to take admission in this college, State quota (entrance through IGMC Shimla) and management quota(direct admission). State quota seats have benefits of almost 30-40% concession on the total fee. I was from state quota some total (tuition hostel transportation mess etc.) The fee was 1,20,200 the management quota seat students paid 1,52,400 per year. Students with reservations like IRDP have bigger concessions, like state quota plus IRDP have to pay only 96000 per year. For a state quota seat, an entrance examination is held for IGMC nursing in July-august(form-1600 general category and 800 for SC).
Course Curriculum Overview
BSc Nursing is a professional course with a guaranteed job opportunity with a stable wage. The faculty of the college is great, there are two coordinators for every class who are always there to listen to every problem of students related to a leave application or any big or small complaints or any problem like if there's a subject teacher you want to change or switch with any other, they can do that. Faculty members are well qualified and experienced main subjects like Medical Surgical Nursing and Community Health Nursing, Pharma or Pathophysiology are taught by highly qualified teachers. Pharmacology, Pathology, genetics, anatomy and physiology, microbiology like subjects are taught by PhD carrying Dr Vikas Sood sir. There are three terms exams every year and tests daily for assessment. The first and second terminal feels quite tough to pass but after the third terminal, we are very well prepared for the final exams whether we talk about speed or temptation.
