Academic, practical and internship timeline
The current GNM training duration is three years. Older information may still describe it as three and a half years, but the programme has been listed as three years from the 2015–16 academic session.
Training combines classroom learning, nursing laboratories, simulation, supervised hospital postings and community experience. Students must satisfy prescribed theory and clinical attendance, practical competencies, case work, nursing-care plans, assignments, internal assessments and nursing-board examinations.
Clinical experience is integral throughout the programme rather than an optional short placement. The exact academic calendar, vacation periods, hours and assessment distribution follow the adopted syllabus and rules of the relevant nursing examination authority.
