    Hi, No, NEET is not compulsory/ mandatory for B.Sc. Nursing. It's just that nursing colleges are free to choose NEET as their entrance examination but as of now only a few nursing colleges like BHU, Indian Army B.Sc. Nursing, JIPMER, IPU, etc. Have started accepting NEET for B.Sc. Nursing. Without NEET you can get admission through other entrance examinations like:-
    AIIMS B.Sc. Nursing entrance exam
    RUHS Nursing entrance exams
    CMC Ludhiana B.Sc. Nursing entrance
    KGMU Nursing entrance exam
    Uttarakhand Nursing Entrance Exam. The general eligibility criteria is that one should have at least 50 % in 12th board examination with Physics Chemistry

    Hello Fellow student, Yes, you need to qualify for the NEET exam to get into a B.Sc. Nursing College, the general qualification criteria is 55% marks for general, 45% for OBC, 30-40% for SC/ST. Although private colleges may or may not take any entrance exam into account, and you'll be solely judged on your 12th standard performance.
