The government of Nepal allocates 130 seats for candidates who want to pursue Bachelor of Midwifery Science (BMS) in Nepal. In 2023, the government allocated 84 seats for students who wish to study BMS in Nepal.
Available Midwifery scholarship seats are divided into the general scholarship (55%, i.e., 46 seats) and the reservation scholarship (45%, i.e., 38 seats). In both categories, the candidates are selected purely based on merit within this cluster.
