| Indian Nursing Council | 2026 | Approved |
| Karnataka Nursing Council | 2026 | Approved |
| RGUHS | 2026 | Affiliated |

|---|---|
| Year 1 | Nursing education, advanced practice, research and clinical speciality 1 |
| Year 2 | Nursing education, advanced practice, research and clinical speciality 2 |

Should you pick M.Sc Nursing at Koshys College?
This course suits working nurses who want teaching, senior clinical and specialist roles.
Pick it if:
You want hospital-linked training: KCN uses Koshys Hospital and Little Flower Hospital for clinical practice and case learning.
You want a clear speciality list: the course offers Medical-Surgical, OBG, Community Health and Child Health Nursing.
You want the fee back: INR 4.5 LPA average pay can repay INR 2 Lakhs fast after placement.
You need Bengaluru exposure: the city has many hospitals, so ask for posting hours before fee payment.
Skip it if:
You want published pay proof: KCN does not publish a nursing salary table, so check offer letters before joining.
You need a non-hostel plan: hostel is part of campus life, so confirm day-scholar approval in writing.
You missed KEA form: the merit route needs KEA registration before counselling starts.
Your degree marks are low: the course needs 55% marks, with 50% for reserved categories.
Counsellor's advice
If you want teaching or senior clinical work, keep KCN in your KEA list. If salary proof matters most, ask for the latest nursing placement sheet first.

FAQs on Koshys College M.Sc Nursing
Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.
Is M.Sc Nursing at Koshys College worth the fee?▾
Yes, if you want teaching, senior clinical or specialist nursing work. The full fee without hostel is INR 2 Lakhs, and the average pay used here is INR 4.5 LPA. That makes the fee easier to recover than many private PG courses. Ask for the latest nursing placement sheet before you pay.
Should I take this seat if my KEA rank is near 320?▾
Yes, but keep one safer choice below it. The General planning rank on this page is 320, and later rounds can change after document checks. Fill KCN if you want Bengaluru clinical exposure, but do not depend only on a later allotment.
What job can I get after this course?▾
You can aim for staff nurse, nurse educator, clinical instructor or specialist nursing roles. KCN lists Medical-Surgical, OBG, Community Health and Child Health Nursing. The placement figure used here is INR 4.5 LPA with 90% placement feedback. Check whether your chosen speciality has hospital postings before joining.
Who should pick this course at KCN?▾
Pick it if you already have a nursing degree and want a PG course linked to Bengaluru hospitals. The course has 20 seats and four specialisations, so the batch is small. It suits students who want clinical practice, teaching work and a city hospital network more than a campus salary table.
Who should skip this course here?▾
Skip it if you need published salary data before paying. KCN shows course and clinical details, but it does not publish a nursing salary table on the official page. Also skip it if your B.Sc Nursing marks are below 55%, unless your reserved category relaxation makes you eligible.
Is Koshys College better for clinical work or higher studies?▾
It is stronger for clinical work first. The college lists Koshys Hospital and Little Flower Hospital as linked hospitals, and the course has clinical speciality papers in both years. If you want a PhD later, use the research paper and dissertation work to build your profile.
Should I wait a year for a better college?▾
Wait only if you can improve your KEA rank and want a different speciality. The fee here is INR 2 Lakhs without hostel, so the risk of waiting is not only money. If KCN offers your speciality and you meet eligibility, joining now can save a year.
Is the hostel cost worth adding?▾
It depends on your posting hours and travel time. Hostel and mess add INR 1.60 Lakhs over two years, making the full cost INR 3.60 Lakhs. If clinical postings start early or end late, staying near campus can help. Confirm room rules before paying.
How do I get admission to this course?▾
Apply through the KEA postgraduate nursing route when the form opens. Write the entrance exam, wait for the rank list, fill KCN in choice filling and accept the allotment. Then pay the fee and report with degree marks, nursing registration, work proof and identity papers.
What is the full fee for M.Sc Nursing?▾
The full course fee without hostel is INR 2 Lakhs. With hostel and mess, it is INR 3.60 Lakhs. The fee block above shows each head and the hostel toggle. Since KCN asks students to request the fee structure, confirm the current fee before paying.
Can I pay the fee in parts?▾
Yes, the tuition fee is shown year by year, so you do not pay the whole amount at once. The fee block uses INR 90,000 a year for tuition and a one-time admission fee. If you need a smaller payment plan, ask the accounts office before the first fee date.
Can I get a scholarship for this course?▾
Yes, if your category and income match a scheme. The calculator above includes Karnataka post-matric help, OBC post-matric help, Central Sector Scheme and KCN fee support. The largest shown waiver is INR 1.20 Lakhs. Keep income and category papers ready before applying.
