Nursing Colleges in Bangalore — Courses & Published Fees
Notable institutes first, then alphabetical. Fees shown are the colleges' own published year-1 figures; “—” means the official website publishes no fee amount (each college page documents what was checked).
Sources: each college's official website, linked on its college page. Fee cells show only officially published figures — “—” is a verified absence, not missing research.
How nursing courses & approvals work in Bangalore
GNM vs B.Sc vs PB B.Sc Nursing
GNM (General Nursing and Midwifery) is a 3-year diploma; B.Sc Nursing is a 4-year university degree with 10+2 PCB eligibility; Post-Basic B.Sc is the 2-year degree bridge for working GNM nurses. M.Sc Nursing adds a 2-year specialisation on top of a B.Sc. Most Bangalore institutes on this page run more than one of these ladders — the chips on each row show which.
Who approves a nursing college
Degree programmes at Bangalore nursing colleges run under an affiliating university (most commonly RGUHS — the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences), with the Indian Nursing Council and the Karnataka State Nursing Council recognising the programme, and GNM diplomas examined by the state diploma board. Each college page lists the specific approvals its official pages document.
Why some fee cells say “—”
Many Bangalore nursing colleges do not publish a fee amount anywhere on their official website. Where that is the case we say so — the college page records exactly which official pages were checked and when, instead of printing an estimate. Where a fee appears below, it is the college's own published figure, linked to its source.
