Heya! I hope you are doing well…

If you are a regular reader of our blog, then you will know that almost 70% of the articles posted here are based on requests from our readers. We received a lot of emails and messages from many students asking to list the top 10 BSc Nursing Colleges in Bangalore.

And after days of research, we are giving you the top 10 BSc nursing colleges in Bangalore here. Our team has ranked the colleges depending on the following factors:

• College Infrastructure.
• Patient Exposure.
• Faculties.
• Clinical Experience.

As per our research, these are the major things that will build the best nurse in you. I had not added any government nursing colleges in Bangalore in this list. This is the list of private nursing colleges in Bangalore only.

Note: Like other portals, these are not advertisements. This is a completely genuine list of nursing colleges.

I will be using short forms in most of the contents, so please keep in mind the following:

• INC – Indian Nursing Council.
• KNC – Karnataka Nursing Council.
• RGUHS – Ravij Gandhi University of Health Sciences.

Before you select a college, I want you to know something which is hidden by most of colleges and consultants. There are three types of colleges in Bangalore:

• BSc Nursing Colleges approved by INC or Indian Nursing Council.
• BSc Nursing Colleges Approved by KNC or Karnataka Nursing Council.
• BSc Nursing Colleges Approved by both INC and KNC.

There is not much difference between these types of colleges. I would suggest you join the top 10 BSc nursing colleges, which both INC and KNC approve. In these colleges, it will be easier for you to get educational loans.

And it will be a little hard for you to get educational loans for only KNC-approved colleges. Seats in INC-approved BSc nursing colleges in Bangalore will be filled fast.

My Personal Advice: Always keep nursing colleges that both INC and KNC approve as your first preference. Also, see whether you can get colleges with their own hospital or are partnered with a good multi-specialty hospital.

Vydehi Institute of Nursing, Bangalore.

As per my experience, I would say Vydehi Institute of Nursing Sciences is the best BSc nursing college in Bangalore. I have very strong reasons to say this very confidently. 😀

The first reason is that the college has an attached 1600-bed multi-specialty hospital and medical college. The college also has a DCI-approved dental college.

The patient exposure at Vydehi Nursing College is excellent and worth studying there. Mostly the seats in the college get filled very fast and are a bit costly. But I will say the college is WORTH!

Both Indian Nursing Council and Karnataka Nursing Council approve the college. Vydehi Nursing College is affiliated to Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences.

BONUS: How to Choose a Nursing College in Bangalore?

There are more than fifty nursing colleges in Bangalore, and it is difficult for students to select one from the list. I used to get a lot of emails and calls from students asking about the same.

So, I thought I would tell you how you must select a BSc nursing college in Bangalore.

The main motto of doing BSc nursing is treating and caring for patients. We have to deal with hundreds of patients during the course. I would call it clinical experience or patient exposure.

Similar to clinical experience, I would suggest you check a few more things. The college you will join for nursing must :

• Have approvals from the Indian Nursing Council or Karnataka Nursing Council and the Government of Karnataka.
• Be affiliated with a reputed university.
• Have or tied up with a good hospital with excellent patient exposure.
• Have the latest equipment and technologies used for treatments.
• Have excellent faculties who are ready to teach you and guide you.

Now I will explain each of these separately.

Approvals and Affiliations

INC or KNC and the Government of Karnataka must approve the college. The college must also be affiliated with a good university. Most of the colleges in Bangalore are affiliated with RGUHS or Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences, Bangalore.

If you plan to take educational loans, I would strictly ask you to opt for INC-approved colleges.

Hospital Facility

It would be very good if the nursing college had an attached multi-specialty hospital. There are only a few nursing colleges in Bangalore which are having their own hospitals. Seats in these colleges will get filled fast.

You can also join colleges that are tied up with a good hospital with excellent patient exposure. Many nursing colleges are partnered with government and private hospitals.

Equipment

I have noticed a lot of colleges in Bangalore that lack general equipment. I would say you must go to colleges which provide good facilities. If you have any queries, you can contact us for more details.

Faculties

You must double-check whether the college has excellent faculties. Many poor standard colleges don’t have any faculties. I would strictly tell you to join colleges with very good faculties.

Conclusion

I know the way I had explained the colleges and other information is not as formal as on other websites. I wanted to get deep into students’ minds and clear all their doubts simply yet informally.
