SMCON is providing the much needed opportunity for development of skills, competencies and capabilities adapted to the needs of the region.

Gradually admission capacity was increased to 50 & further increased to 100 admission capacity from 2010. The Post Basic B. Sc. (P.B.B.Sc) Nursing Degree programme of two year duration was introduced since 2010 with 50 admission capacity for the General Nursing Midwifery diploma holders.

 

Students from all over the Country are eligible to take admission in these programmes. However, since its inception, this College of Nursing has large no. of students from Sikkim and at any given time more than 60% of them hail from this State.

 

There is tremendous demand of graduate nurses in India & in abroad. In the context of the training & education, B.Sc.
