In Bsc. army nursing, how much you have to score in NEET ..How can be maximum cut off? and what was the last year cut off in NEET in army nursing
Hello,
Until last year the admission to B.Sc Nursing in Indian Army was based on MNS Entrance Examination. From this year the candidates will be selected for next stage of selection based on NEET UG score. Since this is the first time that the students will be selected based on NEET UG score previous year cut off does not exist. Candidates who are shortlisted will have to take General Intelligence and General English test of 80 marks, Psychological Assessment Test (PAT), Interview and undergo Medical Examination. Candidates who clear all the stages of the selection will get admission to B.Sc Nursing. The cut off to shortlist based on NEET UG depend on total number of candidates applied for admission, total number of vacancies, highest score etc. As there is no standard cut off you should aim to score decent marks in NEET UG to increase the chances to get shortlisted for further stage. To be on safe side you need to score minimum 300-500 marks in NEET UG. This is an estimated score the actual cut off will be determined based on the above mentioned factors.
