Should you pick GNM at East Point Group of Institutions?
This course suits students who want a hospital job and can live in a Bangalore healthcare area for three years.
Pick it if:
You passed Class 12 in this state: half the seats are merit, so a marks that misses the other applicants list can still get in.
You want hospital jobs, not only service IT: the course-wise career page lists the same local hospitals in each of the last three years.
Your family can pay only per semester: you pay the tuition fee in eight parts, and a request to split it further opens every August.
You want the fee back fast: at the average pay the full course fee comes back inside the first working year, as the ROI tile shows.
Skip it if:
You are counting on last year's closing marks: it has got tougher three years in a row, so last year's number is not a safe marks.
You need a single room from the first year: first-years share three to a room and single rooms open only from year 3.
You want internships in a big city: this is a Bangalore healthcare area, so the placement cell brings most internships here.
You will decide only after another nursing result: the the admission form closes soon after selection, so keep your documents ready before the call comes.

In short
Vydehi costs less and pays more on average, but its closing marks is about 3,000 places tougher. If your marks clears both, take Vydehi; if it clears only East Point, take this seat and do not wait for the spot round.
In short
Ramaiah places more of its batch but charges INR 75,000 more over three years and pays a little less. If its easier closing marks is what you need, keep it one place below East Point in your form as the safer seat.
In short
Acharya charges the same fee but pays about INR 1 LPA less on average and has half the seats. If East Point gives you a seat in any round, take it; Acharya belongs below it in your list, not above it.
In short
Krupanidhi costs a little more and pays about the same, but it has more seats and an easier closing marks. If your marks misses East Point in the early rounds, list Krupanidhi right below it and take whichever comes first.
In short
Oxford is the cheapest seat here and the easiest to get, but its average pay sits below this page's. If East Point allots you a seat in any round, take it and keep Oxford only as your backup.
Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.
FAQs on East Point Group of Institutions GNM
Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.
Is GNM at this college worth the fee?▾
Yes, for most students who get placed. The full fee without hostel is INR 4.95 Lakhs and the last batch averaged INR 3.2 LPA, so the fee comes back within the first working year. If a loan will pay the fee, read the EMI line in the fee block above before you decide.
Should I take this seat if my marks is just above the closing marks?▾
Not on last year's number alone. The General merit seat needed about 40 in round 6 and it got tougher three years in a row, so a marks that just cleared last year may miss this year. Keep this college in your list with a safer college above it, and use the marks checker above for your own category.
What job will I get after this course?▾
Most students get staff nurse jobs with hospital and care services companies that hire on campus in the seventh semester. The Batch of 2025 averaged INR 3.2 LPA, the median was INR 3 LPA and 92% of the batch was placed. If you want a bedside care job instead, this course is not the right pick.
Who should not take this course here?▾
Skip it if you need a single room from the first year, or if you want internships in a big city. First-years share three to a room and single rooms open only from year 3. The campus is in a Bangalore healthcare area, so the placement cell brings most internships and few come on their own. If either of these matters more than the placement figures, pick a city college.
Is this course good for higher studies and research?▾
Yes, if you plan for it from year 2. The course has no minor and no specialisation before year 3, but the electives in year 3 and 4 cover midwifery and mental health nursing, and the ward practice record can lead to a research paper. Talk to the department in year 2 about a project with a faculty member, because that is what a good master's application needs.
Should I wait a year and try for a better marks?▾
Only if you can raise your marks by a lot, not a little. The General closing marks got tougher three years in a row, so a small gain may still miss the seat next year. If you already clear this year's score, take the seat now and try a course change after year 1 if you want a sibling course.
Will I get placed if I am in the bottom half of the batch?▾
Most likely yes, but later and at a lower package. 92% of the last batch was placed, and the median of INR 3 LPA is lower than the average of INR 3.2 LPA because the last students take the smaller offers. Keep your CGPA above the score the companies set, usually 7, and join the placement training the cell holds in year 3.
Is this course better than ECE at this college for me?▾
Pick GNM if you want a staff nurse job and ECE if you want a bedside care job. GNM places a bigger share of its batch with hospital jobs, and its closing marks is the tougher of the two. If you get ECE now and want GNM, the course change after year 1 needs a top CGPA, so do not count on it.
How do I get admission to this course?▾
Take the Class 12 merit exam and apply on the East Point admission form. A seat comes in the round your marks clears, and you must accept it and pay the seat fee within the days the admission office gives. Then report with your papers on the date in the admission dates block above, or you lose the seat.
What is the full fee for the course?▾
The full 3-year fee is INR 4.95 Lakhs without hostel. With hostel and mess it comes to INR 7.35 Lakhs. Both totals sit in the fee block above, and the toggle there shows what the hostel adds each year.
Can I pay the fee in parts?▾
Yes. You pay the tuition fee semester by semester, so the money is never due all at once. If you need smaller parts than that, write to the fee office before the semester starts; the request opens every August.
Do I get the fee back if I drop the seat?▾
It depends on when you leave. If you leave before the counselling body's exit date, most of the fee comes back. If you leave after it, the college keeps a part, so read the refund table in the fee block before you pay.
The college boasts a well-trained faculty that conducts weekly tests and provides notes through an app, enhancing the learning experience. Classrooms offer a positive learning environment with smart classes available. The college has a strong placement program, with around 60% of students securing jobs at renowned companies like Flipkart and Amazon after graduation.
Graduates have opportunities for internships lasting 3 to 6 months, which can include night or day shifts and offer a small salary, aiding in practical learning. The college supports students financially through multiple scholarships, with a minimum scholarship amount of 25,000. However, it's important to note that tuition fees increase annually.
Overall, the college provides a robust educational experience with valuable placement and internship opportunities.
