Only 10 seats per batch
This is an ultra-exclusive program. You’ll get serious 1:1 attention in clinical labs, but expect fierce competition during admissions. If you thrive in tight-knit squads, this is your vibe.
The verdict
Good fit
This program is a smart pick if you want a niche, affordable clinical career in critical care and pulmonology at a premier government institute. The 85% placement rate and solid recruiter list back it up, but the 10-seat intake means you need to bring your A-game. It trades the broad scope of general nursing for deep respiratory expertise, so choose it only if you’re sure about the specialization.
