Scholarship to Study BSc Nursing in Nepal

The government of Nepal allocates 1350 seats for candidates who want to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSc Nursing) in Nepal. In 2023, the government allocated 439 seats for students who wish to study BSc in Nursing in Nepal. 

Available scholarship seats are divided into the general scholarship (55%, i.e., 241 seats) and the reservation scholarship (45%, i.e., 198 seats). In both categories, the candidates are selected purely based on merit within this cluster.

For example, for the general scholarship, 241 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, six Madhesi Dalit students will be selected to study BSc Nursing based on the merit list.
