UP Nursing Admissions: Entrance Exam Rules Shift for 2026-27
19 Apr
Summary
- ABVMU will conduct GNM entrance exams for state colleges.
- Private universities will manage admissions for their affiliated colleges.
- Candidates will receive preference for admission in home districts.

The Atal Bihari Vajpayee Medical University (ABVMU) has announced significant changes to the General Nursing and Midwifery (GNM) admission process for the upcoming 2026-27 academic session in Uttar Pradesh. This revision, decided at a recent university committee meeting, will centralize the entrance examination for GNM courses conducted by government colleges and private institutions not affiliated with private medical universities.
For the 2026-27 session, private medical universities will independently manage their GNM entrance exams for affiliated colleges. This represents a shift from the previous year when ABVMU conducted a unified entrance test for all GNM colleges. The university also emphasized that successful candidates will be given preference for admission in their home districts.
ABVMU is implementing strict measures to ensure transparency and maintain the integrity of the entrance process. Continuous evaluation of institutional standards is ongoing to guarantee quality education and produce skilled nursing and paramedical professionals. The detailed admission program and entrance exam schedule are expected to be released shortly by the university.
