SHUATS is a other institute, founded in 1910. This page brings together what is on record for this course at SHUATS — 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 SHUATS for the current semester-wise plan.

The fee figures on record for this course are below. Fees are for the whole course unless marked otherwise, and apply to B.Sc programmes at SHUATS as a group.

Colleges revise fees most years, and hostel, transport and exam charges are often billed separately. Confirm the current figure with SHUATS before you pay anything.
