Seats are filled in two ways. Government seats (all seats of a government college and the government quota of a private college, 20% in the 2019 sharing ratio of the Government of Karnataka) are allotted in online counselling run by the Directorate of Medical Education with the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA), under a Government order of 2019. The remaining seats of a private college are filled by the college under the rules of the Government of Karnataka, the Karnataka State Nursing Council and RGUHS, and each admitted student is uploaded on the RGUHS portal for approval.

Counselling route (KEA information bulletin 2023-24, the latest B.Sc Nursing bulletin in the files, shared with B.P.T, B.P.O and B.Sc Allied Health Sciences): register and apply online on the KEA website with the Class 12 (II PUC) marks, category and claims, and pay the application fee (Rs 800 for General and OBC, Rs 400 for SC, ST, Category 1 and persons with disability in 2023). KEA then ranks candidates course-wise, verifies documents, and runs option entry and seat allotment. Registration stayed open for about a week in October 2023, and the dates of verification, option entry and allotment are announced later on the KEA website. Check the current year's bulletin, as this route was last confirmed for 2023-24.

Government seats are for Karnataka candidates and the candidate must meet one of the study or domicile clauses of the bulletin (for example seven years of study in Karnataka between Class 1 and II PUC, or a parent's study or domicile in the State, or the clauses for defence and Union Government families).

Documents: SSLC and II PUC marks cards, study certificate countersigned by the Block Education Officer (CBSE and CISCE students get it from the school principal), caste or caste-income certificate in Form D (SC, ST), Form E (Category 1) or Form F (2A, 2B, 3A, 3B) for reservation, Kalyana Karnataka (Article 371(J)) eligibility certificate where claimed, rural or Kannada medium study certificates, and a physical fitness certificate. Reservation covers GM, Category 1, 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B, SC and ST, with special quotas for NCC, sports, defence families and persons with disability (40% or more).

Fee a year for a government quota seat in the first year: tuition Rs 2,000 and miscellaneous fees Rs 4,250. In years 2 to 4 the institute charges Rs 2,250 a year (Rs 550 for SC and ST).
