Nursing Admission 2025 Punjab FAQs 2025 – Full Details
Nursing applicants across Punjab often have many questions regarding the admission process. Here is a complete and clear explanation of the most common FAQs for Nursing Admissions 2025.
1) Nursing Admission Test 2025 – Will There Be an Entry Test?
The chances of a Nursing Entry Test this year are very low.
Usually, the test syllabus and policies are announced 1–2 months before the exam, but no official announcement has been made yet.
Therefore, it is expected that admissions will once again be based purely on FSc Pre-Medical marks.
2) Stipend in Government Nursing Colleges – Will Students Receive It?
According to the new policy for 2025:
✔️ No Nursing Stipend will be provided in any Government Nursing College in Punjab.
This applies to:
- Morning batches
- Evening batches
- Both boys and girls nursing colleges
All government institutions have discontinued stipends for this year.
3) Closing Merit 2025 – Will It Decrease?
Since the stipend has been discontinued in government nursing colleges, expectations are that the closing merit will be lower compared to previous years.
With no financial incentive, competition is expected to decrease slightly.
4) Best Government Nursing Colleges in Lahore – Recommended Options
Most government nursing colleges in Punjab are affiliated with UHS (University of Health Sciences). Their rules, regulations, and policies are similar.
However, non-UHS affiliated institutes are often preferred because their criteria and exam systems are considered comparatively easier.
Top Recommended Non-UHS Government Nursing Colleges:
- Children’s Hospital Nursing College, Lahore
- Fatima Jinnah Medical University (FJMU)
- King Edward Medical University (KEMU)
- Nishtar College of Nursing, Multan
Since UHS is known for having a strict academic and examination system, many students prefer these alternative institutions.
5) Private Nursing Admissions 2025 – Are Seats Open?
