Indian Nursing Council key facts & eligibility
| Conducting body | Indian Nursing Council (INC) and State Nursing Registration Councils (SNRCs) |
|---|---|
| Official website | indiannursingcouncil.org ↗ |
| Mode | In India, the right to practise as a nurse is qualification-based: you complete an INC-approved nursing programme (GNM, B.Sc Nursing, etc.) and register with your State Nursing Registration Council, which issues the licence to practise, while the INC maintains national standards and the live register. There is no single national multiple-choice “registration exam”; the National Nursing and Midwifery Commission Act, 2023 provides for a national licensure/exit test — check its current implementation status. |
| Frequency | Registration is on completion of an approved qualification (not a fixed exam sitting). |
| Scoring & marking | This practice covers core nursing knowledge aligned to the INC curriculum — fundamentals of nursing, anatomy & physiology, medical-surgical nursing, community health, pharmacology, and professional ethics. It is useful for course examinations and staff-nurse recruitment tests (such as AIIMS NORCET); registration itself is granted on your approved qualification rather than a single exam score. |
| Score validity | Registration is maintained through the relevant State Nursing Registration Council. |
| Language | English (and regional languages for some state recruitment exams). |
