SGT GNM FAQs
Ques. What is the difference between GNM and ANM, and which is better for a nursing career at SGT University?
Ans. GNM (General Nursing and Midwifery) is a 3-year diploma that qualifies graduates as Registered Nurses and Registered Midwives (RN&RM), enabling them to work in hospitals, ICUs, OTs, and community settings with a broader scope of practice. ANM (Auxiliary Nursing Midwifery) is a 2-year diploma focused primarily on community and primary healthcare. GNM offers significantly better career prospects, higher salary potential, and eligibility for further studies like B.Sc. Nursing (Post Basic). At SGT University, GNM also has a larger seat intake (100 seats vs. 40 for ANM) and better placement support, with companies like Medanta conducting campus interviews.

Over the 3-year programme, the tuition fee amounts to approximately Rs. ₹2,70,000, with additional one-time charges of Rs. ₹10,000 (refundable caution money) and Rs. ₹2,500 (non-refundable alumni fee), bringing the total to approximately Rs. ₹2,89,500 excluding hostel and uniform costs.

However, for countries like the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, a B.Sc. Nursing degree is typically required. SGT University's Faculty of Nursing mentions international opportunities as part of its career prospects. Graduates interested in working abroad should also consider pursuing B.Sc.

Nursing (Post Basic), making it convenient for GNM graduates to continue their education at the same institution. After B.Sc. Nursing (Post Basic), graduates can further pursue M.Sc. Nursing, which SGT University also offers in multiple specialisations. GNM graduates can also appear for government nursing recruitment exams conducted by AIIMS, ESIC, Railways, and state health departments.
