Integral University Lucknow ANM Nursing: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. ANM (Auxiliary Nursing Midwifery) is a 2-year diploma program that trains students in basic nursing and midwifery skills, making them eligible to work as auxiliary nurses in hospitals and community health centers.

ANM graduates can pursue GNM as a lateral entry option. The ANM course at Integral University is specifically designed for students seeking a shorter pathway into nursing with immediate employment opportunities in healthcare settings.

Admission is primarily merit-based, and the university also offers direct admission to some candidates based on their qualifying exam marks.
