Nursing education in India is regulated by the Indian Nursing Council that safeguards the quality of nursing education in the country through the prescription of syllabi, inspection, examination, certification and registration. Current courses in nursing are offered both at diploma and degree levels. It qualifies the following courses:

General Nursing Midwifery (GNM) Course of 3½ years and are all school-level courses; Qualification: 10+2 or equivalent with at least 45% marks. While science as a subject in 10+2 is not compulsory, some colleges do admit only science group students.
