Apply online on the portal of the Directorate General of Medical Health (Training), Uttar Pradesh, within the window of the notice (for 2026 it was 1 to 31 July, for about 1,800 seats in the 36 government ANM training centres of the state). The application fee was Rs 200 for General and Rs 100 for SC, ST and OBC candidates, paid online.

There is no entrance test. Selection is by merit, the average of the percentage marks in Class 10 and Class 12, under the Uttar Pradesh ANM Training Regulation Order 2022.

80% of the seats are for women with the minimum qualification and 20% are reserved for ASHA workers and ASHA Sangini with at least five years of satisfactory service in Uttar Pradesh, who must submit an experience certificate signed by the Chief Medical Officer of the district. If not enough ASHA candidates qualify, those seats go to other eligible candidates by category. Applicants from outside Uttar Pradesh get no reservation benefit.

The Indian Nursing Council extended the last date of admission to ANM training for 2026 to 31 October 2026, and the department applied it. Selected candidates are informed by phone against vacant seats and must bring a medical fitness certificate. ANM is a two-year course.
