Indeed, the nursing admissions circular from the previous year had an age restriction. Meena has to check the BNMC’s official website this year to find out the age restriction. The circular will be released following the MBBS and BDS admission tests. The previous 3 batches of HSC candidates also participated in the nursing admission exam for the 2024 admission.

When the admission test will be conducted?

For medical and dental schools, the nursing admission exam often comes after the MBBS and BDS admission exams. The date of the nursing admission exam for 2024–2025 has not yet been determined; it will be publicized on the BNMC website as well.
