B.Sc. in Nursing at NEHU

NEHU, Shillong, Meghalaya, offers B.Sc. in Nursing as a 4-year undergraduate degree. There are 50 seats in each batch.

Expect to spend most of your time on anatomy, physiology, nursing care and community health, with long clinical postings.

NEHU is a other institute, founded in 1973. This page brings together what is on record for this course at NEHU — fees, seats, eligibility, the admission route and placements — so you can judge it before you apply.

Most B.Sc programmes follow a similar pattern: the first year builds the foundations, the middle years go deep into the subject, and the final year is given over to electives, a major project and usually an internship.

Here that means anatomy, physiology, nursing care and community health, with long clinical postings. Typical first jobs: staff nurse in hospitals and community health roles. Many graduates also go on to a master's degree.

The exact syllabus is set by the college or its affiliating university and changes from year to year, so ask NEHU for the current semester-wise plan.

NEHU has not published a fee for B.Sc. in Nursing on our record yet. When you ask, ask for the total across all 4 years — not just the first-year figure — and whether hostel and exam fees are included.

2. Take state nursing entrance exams and keep your scorecard.
3. Apply to NEHU on its website (nehu.ac.in) or through the enquiry form on this page, and take part in counselling if a state or central body runs it.
4. Once you are offered a seat, verify your documents (marksheets, ID, category certificate if any) and pay the admission fee to confirm it.

Placement numbers vary a lot by year and by branch. Ask the placement cell for the branch-wise report of the last two batches.

NEHU runs 4 B.Sc specialisations in all. If this one is not quite right, compare it with:

• B.Sc. (Honours) Biochemistry
• B.Sc. in Nursing
• Bachelor of Science (B.Sc. Hons.)

Ask yourself — and the college — these questions first:

• Are you genuinely interested in anatomy? You will spend 4 years on it.
• What will the full course cost, including hostel and living costs?
• Are the placement figures above good enough for your goals? Ask for the branch-wise numbers.
• How does NEHU compare with other colleges offering B.Sc in and around Shillong?
