DPU B.Sc (Nursing) : Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. NEET is not required for B.Sc Nursing at Dr. DY Patil Vidyapeeth. The university conducts its own entrance test, AIAHCET (All India Allied Health Common Entrance Test), for this programme. Candidates register separately for AIAHCET, appear for the exam, and then apply to DPU during the admission window using their scorecard. Seat allotment is completed through DPU’s internal merit-based counselling, entirely independent of the NEET score.

Ans. The total tuition fee for the 4-year B.Sc Nursing programme at Dr. DY Patil Vidyapeeth is INR 5,80,000, charged at INR 1,45,000 per year. Hostel accommodation at the Pimpri campus costs INR 3,05,000 per year and is optional. Hostel fees are billed separately and are not included in the tuition total. Semester-wise payment is available for enrolled students, making fee management more flexible.

Ans. DPU nursing students complete all clinical rotations at Dr. DY Patil Hospital and Research Centre, the university’s own 900-bed multi-specialty teaching hospital on the Pimpri campus. The hospital covers departments including general medicine, surgery, obstetrics, gynaecology, paediatrics, orthopaedics, and community health. Having the training hospital on campus means students get hands-on exposure every day without commuting to an external facility.

Ans. Candidates must have passed 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and English as subjects, with a minimum of 45% aggregate marks (40% for SC/ST candidates). The minimum age is 17 years as of December 31 of the admission year. A medical fitness certificate from a registered practitioner is mandatory at the time of document verification, and candidates must also have qualified AIAHCET.

Ans. Yes. Dr. DY Patil Vidyapeeth offers M.Sc Nursing programmes at its Pimpri campus. Graduates of the B.Sc Nursing programme at DPU are eligible to apply for M.Sc Nursing, subject to meeting the eligibility criteria and available seats at the time of application. Pursuing both programmes within the same university provides academic continuity and access to the same clinical infrastructure and faculty network.
