Admission Process Overview
The admission process for the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program at Drs Kiran And Pallavi Patel Global University Vadodara is conducted through the state-level qualifying examination system, primarily based on the JEE Main or equivalent national-level entrance tests. The university reserves seats for meritorious candidates who meet the minimum academic standards and pass the subsequent selection procedures.
Applicants must first register online via the official website of the university, where they will be required to fill out an application form with personal details, educational background, and preferred admission category (General, SC, ST, OBC-NCL, EWS, PwD). The registration fee is ₹1000 for general candidates and ₹500 for reserved categories.
After successful registration, applicants must upload scanned copies of required documents including their 12th-grade marksheet, passport-size photographs, signature, category certificate (if applicable), and Aadhaar card. The application form submission window usually opens in January and closes in March each year.
Following the document verification stage, shortlisted candidates are called for an online counseling session where they must choose their preferred program and seat preferences. During this process, applicants are advised to carefully study the rank lists of previous years to make informed choices about their admission preferences.
The final step involves the actual seat allocation based on merit and preferences during the counseling rounds. Successful candidates must then complete the payment procedure for tuition fees and other charges within the stipulated time frame to secure their admission status.

Aspirant Preparation Strategy
To succeed in gaining admission to our nursing program, aspirants should begin their preparation at least one year before the exam date. It is crucial to understand the syllabus thoroughly and allocate sufficient time to cover all topics effectively.
Key areas of focus include Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and General Knowledge sections. Regular practice tests and mock exams help build speed and accuracy while identifying weak areas for improvement. Aspirants should also stay updated with current affairs and healthcare news relevant to India's public health landscape.
The counseling process requires strategic thinking about choice selection. Candidates are advised to rank their preferences based on past rank trends, geographical proximity to campus, and personal interest in specific programs or career paths. It is essential not to overlook lesser-known but promising options that might offer better value than highly competitive choices.
Additionally, maintaining good health and mental well-being throughout the preparation period is equally important. Joining coaching classes or forming study groups can provide additional support and motivation during challenging phases of the journey towards admission.
