Can I do Nursing course after graduating in B.A Arts? If this is possible then how can I do this please tell me? I am from West Bengal so let me know from where can I do Nursing course in Kolkata or any other nearby location?

The eligibility criteria for Bachelor's degree in Nursing course:

1. You must have done 12th from a recognized board. You should have studied Physics, Chemistry, Biology and English.

2. The percentage criteria varies from college to college but you should have at least 45% marks in bachelor's degree.

If you meet the above criteria then you can apply for B.Sc Nursing entrance exam of West Bengal. There are many colleges in West Bengal, you can get admission in top nursing colleges depending upon your performance in entrance exam. Some private college also take direct admission.

No, it is not possible to do Nursing course after completion of your graduation in B.A Arts course. To be eligible to pursue Nursing course, you should have passed 12th standard or an equivalent examination with Physics, Chemistry and Biology subjects from a Government recognised board. So, being a Arts stream student, you are not eligible to do Nursing course.

Those candidates who have completed 12th with PCB combination are eligiblefor nursing course

But as you mentioned above you are from arts so you are not eligible for this
