How can I get into Indian College of Nursing for UG/PG courses? Am I eligible for admission?

The eligibility criteria for B.Sc Nursing programs in India, including distance learning options, generally require:

1. Completion of 10+2 (PUC) with Science (Physics, Chemistry, and Biology) as core subjects.  

2. A minimum of 45-50% aggregate marks in the qualifying exam.  

3. English as a subject in 10+2.  

Unfortunately, with 44.66% marks, you may fall slightly short of the general eligibility requirement for B.Sc Nursing. However, you might still have options:

1. Relaxation for Reserved Categories: If you belong to SC/ST/OBC or other reserved categories, many institutions provide a 5%relaxation, lowering the requirement to around 40-45%.  

2. Private or Distance Institutions: While traditional B.Sc Nursing requires in-person practical training (due to clinical practice mandates by the Indian Nursing Council), some private institutions might offer alternative options or bridge courses.  

3. Diploma in Nursing (GNM): If B.Sc Nursing isn't possible, you can opt for General Nursing and Midwifery (GNM), a diploma-level course requiring lower eligibility marks.

It's best to directly contact the Indian College of Nursingor similar institutions to confirm whether they accept candidates with your percentage for distance or alternative programs.
