Should you pick P.B.B.Sc Nursing at MAHE Manipal?

This course suits GNM nurses who want a degree, hospital work and a path to M.Sc Nursing.

Pick it if:
You want to work in a big teaching hospital: MAHE's own teaching hospitals train you and hire its nursing graduates when posts are open.
You topped your GNM batch at Manipal School of Nursing: the first rank gets a 50% fee waiver and ranks 2 to 5 get 25%.
You finish GNM before July: you can join the same year, because MAHE has no entrance exam and uses your GNM marks.
Your family needs a fixed cost: the 2026-27 fee list keeps the same tuition fee in year 2 as in year 1.
Skip it if:
You want a big city with many hospitals: Manipal is a small university town, so most of your clinical work happens in MAHE's own hospitals.
You will pay the hostel yourself: hostel and mess add INR 2.42 Lakhs, which is more than the course fee of INR 2.26 Lakhs.
You will apply only after the GNM result: the 2026 batch had to apply by 25 Jul 2026, so apply once the form opens.
You need a fee waiver but studied GNM elsewhere: MAHE gives its merit waiver for this course only to Manipal School of Nursing toppers.
Counsellor's advice
If your GNM is done by July and your registration is ready, apply as soon as the MAHE form opens. If you cannot pay the hostel, ask about the triple room before you pay anything.

FAQs on MAHE Manipal P.B.B.Sc Nursing

Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.

Is P.B.B.Sc Nursing at MAHE Manipal worth the fee?▾
Yes, for most GNM nurses who want a degree. The full fee without hostel is INR 2.26 Lakhs for two years, and the degree opens M.Sc Nursing and teaching roles. MAHE does not publish pay for this course, so ask the college about recent jobs before you pay.
What job can I get after this course?▾
You can work as a staff nurse, a nurse educator or a nurse administrator. MAHE's teaching hospitals hire its nursing graduates when posts are open. MAHE does not publish pay for this course; its NIRF 2025 file puts the median for its three-year UG courses at INR 4.3 LPA, which covers many courses.
Should I take this course or keep working with my GNM?▾
Take it if you want to teach, lead a ward or study M.Sc Nursing later, because those roles ask for a degree. Keep working if you need a full salary now, since this is a two-year, full-time course. Check your savings against the full fee of INR 2.26 Lakhs first.
Who should not take this course here?▾
Skip it if you want a big city with many hospitals, or if the hostel cost is too much. Manipal is a small university town, and hostel and mess add INR 2.42 Lakhs, more than the course fee. Look at the total with hostel, INR 4.68 Lakhs, before you decide.
Is this course good for higher studies?▾
Yes. It is the degree that M.Sc Nursing asks for, and MAHE itself offers M.Sc Nursing at the same college. Keep your marks high in both years, because M.Sc Nursing admission at MAHE also looks at your marks and work experience.
Should I wait a year to apply?▾
No, not if your GNM and registration are ready. The course has only 25 seats a year and the merit list ranks you on GNM marks, which do not rise by waiting. Apply in the first cycle you can, and keep your marks cards and registration ready.
Is a batch of 25 good for me?▾
Yes, if you want close guidance from teachers. A small batch means more time with faculty on the wards. It also means only 25 seats, so apply as soon as the form opens and do not wait for the last date.
Is the hostel worth the extra cost?▾
It depends on where you can stay. A double room costs INR 59,000 a year and the mess INR 62,000 a year, and first-year hostel students must take the mess. If you have family near Manipal, staying with them saves most of the INR 2.42 Lakhs.
How do I get admission to this course?▾
Apply online on the MAHE apply portal before the last date. MAHE makes a merit list on your GNM marks and sends a provisional offer to shortlisted students. Then pay the first year fee by the date in the offer and report for the document check, or you lose the seat.
What is the full fee for the course?▾
The full two-year fee is INR 2.26 Lakhs without hostel and INR 4.68 Lakhs with hostel and mess. These are the 2026-27 batch fees; the 2027 fee is not out yet. The caution deposit of INR 10,000 is extra and comes back when you leave.
Can I get a fee waiver at MAHE for this course?▾
Only in a few cases. The first rank holder from Manipal School of Nursing gets 50%, ranks 2 to 5 get 25%, and children of MAHE graduates get 10% of the program fee. Use the scholarship calculator above to check your own case.
Do I get the fee back if I leave?▾
It depends on the date you leave. MAHE sets a last date to withdraw without reporting, which was 17 Jul 2026 for the 2026 batch, and its refund policy decides how much comes back. Read the refund policy on the MAHE fees page before you pay.

  • In recent QS ranking 2020, Manipal University secured 17th rank all over India and 200th all over Asia, making it one of the top-ranked private universities in India.
