Meena lives in a village in Bangladesh. Out of her family’s 3 daughters, she is the oldest. She wants to work in a field where there are more job opportunities for women. She intends to be admitted in 2024–2025 during the nursing session. She asks a lot of questions about nursing admission because she wants to understand the nuances.
How many courses are there in Bangladesh?
Bangladesh government provides three nursing courses currently. The courses are
- B.Sc. in Nursing
- Diploma in Nursing Science
- Diploma in Midwifery
What are the differences between B.Sc. Nursing and DNSM courses?
The abbreviation for Bachelor of Nursing is B.Sc. (Nursing). The DNSM stands for the Diploma in Midwifery and Nursing Science. While HSC passed commerce and arts group students frequently take the entrance test for the Diploma in Nursing Science & Diploma in Midwifery, HSC passed science group students take the admission exam for the B.Sc. in Nursing.
What are the minimum qualifications to get admission in these courses?
Candidates must have an individual GPA of 2.5 and a combined SSC and HSC GPA of 6 from any group in order to be admitted to the Diploma in Nursing Science and Diploma in Midwifery programs.
Admission to the B.Sc. in Nursing program requires a cumulative GPA of 7.00 in the SSC and HSC, as well as a GPA of 3.00 on its own. Biology is also essential.
Once their GPA has been verified, students need to find the nursing admission test circular and take the examination.
In compliance with BNMC standards, students who score highly on the admission exam will be admitted to the government nursing training center. Additionally, a very small percentage of pupils will be assigned to a district reservation.
Is there any age limitation for nursing admission test?
Indeed, the previous year’s nursing admissions circular had an age restriction. To find out for the age restriction this year, Meena needs to go to the BNMC’s official website. Following the BDS and MBBS admission exams, the circular will be released to the public. The nursing admission exam was also taken by the preceding three batches of HSC applicants for the 2024 entry.
When the admission test will be conducted?
For medical and dental colleges, the nursing admission exam usually comes after the MBBS and BDS admission exams. The BNMC website will be updated along with the date of the 2024–2025 nursing admission exam, which has not yet been determined.
According to a recent update, the BDS admission will take place on February 28 and the MBBS entrance exam (2024–2025) on January 17.
