But with so many updates from WBNC, WBUHS, and colleges' changing status, it can get confusing. Let’s clear up the fog and answer all your questions step by step.
What is BSc Nursing?
BSc Nursing is a four-year undergraduate program designed to train students in clinical care, patient management, and healthcare protocols. It’s a profession in high demand both domestically and internationally.
Can Male Students Apply for BSc Nursing in 2025 in West Bengal?
Short answer? Yes, but with conditions.
Historically, BSc Nursing in West Bengal was dominated by female students, with many government colleges restricting male admission. But that’s changing!
Thanks to increasing demand and advocacy for gender equality in nursing, WBNC (West Bengal Nursing Council) and WBUHS (West Bengal University of Health Sciences) have started opening doors for male applicants.
In 2025, several colleges are expected to allow male candidates. However, college matrix listing and E-Counselling status are crucial. We’ll explain both below.
