Overview

About Popular College of Nursing and Paramedical Institute, Varanasi (Popular Group of Academics)

Popular College of Nursing is a nursing college in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh. Popular College of Nursing is privately managed and self-financing. It is affiliated to Atal Bihari Vajpayee Medical University, Lucknow. Popular College of Nursing offers 5 programmes, 1 at undergraduate level and 2 at postgraduate level. They are B.Sc. Nursing, Post Basic B.Sc. Nursing, M.Sc. Nursing, Diploma In General Nursing & Midwifery (Gnm) and Auxiliary Nurse & Midwife (Anm). The stated sanctioned intake across these programmes totals 205 seats. The official website identifies this unit as Popular College of Nursing, Varanasi, at Chunar Road, Bachchhao, and states affiliation with Atal Bihari Vajpayee Medical University, Lucknow. The ABVMU official college-code PDF lists Popular College of Nursing at Village & Post Bachchhao, Chunar Road, Varanasi, code 2210030. The website states INC/UPSMF recognition, but no current 2026-27 regulator status or session-specific sanctioned intake was located. Principal evidence is inconsistent across official pages: the principal-message page names Dr. M. Vaijayanthimala, PhD, while the faculty list labels Dr. Prof. Sudhakar A as Principal/Dean; both are preserved only in their respective source contexts. The official website identifies the Varanasi unit as Popular College of Nursing and separately lists Popular Nursing School and Popular Paramedical Institute at the same head-office address. The site states U.P. Government permission, INC recognition, UPSMF recognition and ABVMU affiliation. The ABVMU affiliated-college page was current for the 2025-26 session in the retrieved result; no authoritative 2026-27 regulator list was located. The 450 figure is a student-count statement, not sanctioned nursing intake.
