This page is that list. Every institution shown holds a current approval from INC, with its district and approved courses. Applications are made on each institution's own website, not here.

19,986 approved seats across 433 institutions, as published by the regulator. Intake is counted only where the approving body states it.

Hospital Campus Ashoknagar, with 29 of the 433 institutions listed here.

The most widely approved are gnm (191), anm (125), bsc-nursing (107), post-basic-bsc-nursing (34), pb-diploma-nursing (25), msc-nursing (16). Each figure is the number of institutions approved for that course.

ANM is a two-year diploma in auxiliary nursing and midwifery. GNM is a three-year diploma in general nursing and midwifery. B.Sc Nursing is a four-year degree, and Post Basic B.Sc Nursing is a shorter degree route for candidates who already hold GNM. All are approved separately by the Indian Nursing Council, so an institution approved for one is not automatically approved for another.
