The government of Nepal allocates 1990 seats for candidates who want to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSc Nursing) in Nepal. In 2025, the government allocated 645 scholarship seats for students who wish to study BSc in Nursing in Nepal.
Available scholarship seats are divided into the general scholarship (55%, i.e., 352 seats) and the reservation scholarship (45%, i.e., 293 seats). In both categories, the candidates are selected purely based on merit within this cluster.
For example, for the general scholarship, 352 highest-ranking students in the MECEE-BL for the BSc Nursing exam are chosen irrespective of gender, religion, and ethnicity. For reservation, the competition will be only among the eligible clusters of students in each sub-category. For example, nine Madhesi Dalit students will be selected to study BSc Nursing based on the merit list.
Nursing Colleges affiliated with four Universities (KU, TU, Purbanchal University, and Pokhara University) and seven health science academies (PAHS, KAHS, BPKIHS, MBAHS, MIHS, NAMS, Pokhara Academy, and Rapti Academy) offer BSc Nursing programs in Nepal.
