How to get Karnataka State Nursing Council Registration (KSNC Registration)

Procedures for Karnataka State Nursing Council Registration for Diploma , Bsc and Post Basic Bsc Nursing ( PB Bsc Nursing)

Indian nursing council has got state wise chapters in every state of India. If you happened to study in Karnataka , for your GNM / BSC nursing/Post Basic BSC Nursing  you have to register with Karnataka State Nursing Council. 

Likewise if  you wish to  work in any other state other than Karnataka - it is required of you to get registered with concerned State Nursing Council.

On successful completion of your nursing course from Karnataka state  you can apply for the registration at KSNC. Having a knowledge regarding the procedure in advance will help you to reduce the stress and save your time. As I went to KSNC to do my registration I was totally unaware about the procedures, it put me in stress, and at the end I ended up exhausted. So i have decided to create this blog, through which at least I can guide a few of you.  :)

If you happened to study your Post Basic Bsc Nursing ( PB. Bsc) in Karnataka and the Diploma in some other state, you need to register for both Diploma and PB.Bsc Nursing.  In that case you should take a  challan for Rs. 1000/- and should keep another set of copy of your certificates as mentioned. Another important thing is that you should get a NOC ( No Objection certificate) from the concerned state, where you completed your GNM. ( my friend told me that she did her registration with out NOC but it seems to be there can be a delay in issuing certificate)

Although they suppose to accept the authorisation letter from the candidate and the authorised person should be able to do the registration on behalf of the candidate given that he/she has all the above said documents with them.  You can confirm it by making a phone call to the registrar.

Let start the formalities

He/she will verify all your original documents and direct you to next section.  (get a challan form from him/her if you haven't taken a challan yet, get it done and come back, bank is with in 500 meters from KSNC)

Bsc then  grab two set of it and go to the next room on the opposite side.

Here you should  submit all your original documents along with the photo copies,Challan and passport size photos, in the envelop they have given. Before that write your address clearly on the envelop including your contact number (Make sure to staple all the original certificates  together). Assigned person will check your documents and the details will be entered in a register, the number given in the register is your Registration number:).

You will be asked to write your registration number  in the area which they have stamped (on the back of your certificates), after that you can submit all your documents in the counter  outside of Registrar's cabin, there you will get back all your original documents. Verify whether you have received back all your original certificates.

This is the end of your registration process, KSNC will send you the certificate by post in 30-45 days.
