GNM Nursing and B Sc Nursing Course in Private Nursing Colleges

Private Nursing College Management Association of Kerala

The Private Nursing College Management Association of Kerala (PNCMAK) 2025 plays a crucial role in managing nursing education institutions. Let’s explore more about it:

1. PNCMAK in Kerala:
The Private Nursing College Management Association of Kerala (PNCMAK) was established in 2011. Its purpose is to introduce a separate selection procedure for admission to B.Sc Nursing  and M.Sc. Nursing courses under the Management Quota.

This initiative aligns with the directives of the Honorable Supreme Court of India, as stated in its judgments from 2002, 2003, and 2007.

PNCMAK manages the allocation of seats for B.Sc. Nursing, Post Basic B.Sc. Nursing, and M.Sc. Nursing programs. It also oversees the admission process and fee remittance deadlines.

2. Maharashtra’s Private Nursing Schools and Colleges:
In Maharashtra, the Private Nursing School and Colleges Management Association was established to address the challenges faced by nursing institutions.

The association has been instrumental in handling critical issues, such as extending the GNM  Nursing (General Nursing and Midwifery) course for the next 10 years. This move was necessary due to the circular issued by the Indian Nursing Council (INC) in 2019, which proposed the closure of GNM Nursing courses from the academic year 2021-22 and the upgrade of GNM Nursing schools to B.Sc. Nursing programs.

In summary, these associations play a vital role in managing nursing education, ensuring fair admissions, and addressing critical issues within the field of nursing education.
