St. John's College of Nursing

St. John's College of Nursing, established in 1985, is managed by the Catholic Bishops' Conference of India and operates within the St. John's National Academy of Health Sciences campus in Koramangala, Bengaluru. It offers B.Sc Nursing and M.Sc Nursing programmes affiliated to Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences. NAAC A accreditation confirms consistent institutional quality. Clinical training is conducted at St. John's Medical College Hospital — a 600+ bed tertiary care teaching hospital in Koramangala with active departments in cardiology, oncology, neurosciences, neonatology, transplant medicine, obstetrics, and emergency care. The hospital's position in Koramangala — Bengaluru's tech and healthcare district — means it sees high patient volumes and clinical diversity that benefits nursing training quality significantly. St. John's College of Nursing has one of Karnataka's better-documented overseas nursing placement records, with alumni working in NHS-affiliated UK hospitals, Gulf healthcare systems, and Australian healthcare institutions. The Catholic mission hospital network provides alumni with international connections and references that facilitate overseas regulatory registration. UK OSCE preparation is actively pursued by recent graduates, and the college's clinical breadth provides the competency foundation that OSCE assesses. Female hostel accommodation is available within the campus complex. The Koramangala location gives students access to Bengaluru's healthcare and technology ecosystem for part-time exposure and networking. Admission is through RGUHS-affiliated counselling based on 10+2 PCB merit with minimum 45% aggregate. For nursing aspirants in Bengaluru who want a NAAC A-accredited minority institution with strong overseas placement outcomes and tertiary care clinical training, St. John's is among the top choices.
