About Army Institute of Nursing
How does a nursing student gain high-volume clinical experience under the direct guidance of military medical officers? The Army Institute of Nursing addresses this by routing its clinical rotations directly through the 151 Base Hospital in Guwahati. Operating under the Army Welfare Education Society, the college specifically serves daughters of serving and retired Army personnel, alongside a designated quota for civilian female candidates from the North Eastern states.

Application Steps
Admission is determined strictly by a merit list generated from the performance of candidates in the Online Admission Test (OAT) conducted by the Army Welfare Education Society. The institute compiles this merit ranking and publishes the specific cutoff scores on its official website, categorizing candidates under the Army and civilian North-East quotas.
Once the cutoff lists are published, candidates matching the specified ranks must present their original educational certificates and proof of army parentage for verification at the campus. The admission is finalized only after the verification team clears the documents and the candidate completes the initial semester fee payment within the given deadline.
