₹63,800

Pass Class 12 (10+2) with Physics, Chemistry, Biology and English, with at least 45% marks in Physics, Chemistry and Biology taken together (40% for SC, ST and OBC), as the Indian Nursing Council requires, and be a resident of Punjab for the state quota (other states are considered from the second round).

Apply online for the Punjab Para Medical Entrance Test (PPMET) of Baba Farid University of Health Sciences, Faridkot. The paper covers Physics, Chemistry, Biology, English and nursing aptitude, with no negative marking.

Register for the university's online counselling, fill college, quota and category choices, and wait for the allotment. Seats are filled in rounds (six rounds in 2026).

In a private college half of the seats are government quota and half are management quota (which includes 15% NRI seats); the tuition fee is the same in both. Government colleges set aside 7.5% of seats for NRI candidates. Reserved seats: SC 25%, Backward Classes 10%, persons with disability 5%, plus small shares for border and backward areas, defence and police wards, sports and others, as the Punjab government notification lists.

Report to the allotted college with the original documents and pay the tuition fee to be admitted.

Tuition fee a year as the Punjab government fixed it for the B.Sc Nursing course (session 2025, shown by the university as provisional for 2026): the same for government quota and management quota seats of a private college. Hostel, mess and transport are extra. NRI seats pay US$15,000 for the whole course, and minority quota seats and institutions outside this schedule can differ.
