GNM graduates become registered nurses and can work in hospitals across India. B.Sc Nursing graduates have additional eligibility for Master of Science in Nursing programmes and typically have a broader scope for academic and administrative nursing roles compared to GNM diploma holders.

Ques. Is PPMET the same for both GNM and B.Sc Nursing admissions at CMC Ludhiana?

Ans. Yes, both GNM and B.Sc Nursing admissions at CMC Ludhiana are made through PPMET (Punjab Para Medical Entrance Test) conducted by Baba Farid University of Health Sciences. Candidates appear for the same entrance test and are ranked on a common merit list. Separate choice-filling and seat allotment are then done for GNM and B.Sc Nursing seats through the BFUHS online counselling portal.

Ques. Does GNM from CMC Ludhiana include midwifery training?

Ans. Yes, midwifery is a core component of the GNM curriculum. Students at CMC Ludhiana receive practical training in the labour room, maternity ward and antenatal clinics within the hospital.

Ans. Yes, GNM diploma holders can pursue Post Basic B.Sc Nursing, a 2-year degree programme, which makes them eligible for M.Sc Nursing.

The INC and Punjab Nurses Registration Council recognition of CMC Ludhiana’s GNM programme ensures the diploma is valid for registration as a nurse across all Indian states.
