Narayana College of Nursing

Narayana College of Nursing, established in 2008 as part of the Narayana Health ecosystem in Bengaluru, offers B.Sc Nursing and Post Basic B.Sc Nursing programmes affiliated to Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences. The college operates from the Narayana Health City campus in Bommasandra, Electronic City Phase II — one of India's largest multi-speciality hospital complexes with over 2,000 beds spanning cardiac surgery, oncology, orthopaedics, neurosciences, nephrology, and paediatric departments. This hospital infrastructure is the college's defining advantage. INC regulations require a minimum 100-bed attached hospital for nursing colleges — Narayana Health City's 2,000+ beds place this college in an entirely different training category. Nursing students complete clinical rotations in functioning ICUs, cardiac care units, operation theatres, emergency departments, neonatal ICUs, and speciality wards — the kind of multi-system exposure that builds the clinical competence assessed in NCLEX-RN and UK OSCE examinations. Hostel accommodation is available for female students within the Health City campus. Nursing graduates from Narayana are recruited by Apollo, Fortis, Manipal Hospitals, and Aster DM Healthcare across South India, along with Gulf healthcare systems. The college's position within the Narayana Health network means students also have a structured pathway for post-graduation employment within the group's hospitals across 11 states. RGUHS affiliation ensures the degree is recognised across India and by overseas nursing regulatory bodies. Admission is based on 10+2 PCB marks with a minimum 45% aggregate — no NEET required for B.Sc Nursing in Karnataka. For nursing aspirants who prioritise clinical training quality above all else, Narayana's Health City attachment is among the strongest in South India.
