INTRODUCTION OF THE PROGRAM:-The b.sc nursing degree program is a four – year fulltime program comprising eight prepares
B.sc.nursing program graduate qualified to practice nursing and midwifery in a variety of settings in either public/government or private healthcare settings. It
adopts credit system and semester system as per the Authority guidelines with minor modifications suitable to professional education in a hybrid form. The
program encompasses foundational, core and elective courses. The choice-based system is applicable to electives only and is offered in the form of modules.
Modular learning is also integrated in the foundational as well as core courses that are mandatory.

The program prepares nurses and midwives for generalist nursing including midwifery practice. Knowledge acquisition related to wellness, health promotion,
illness, disease management and care of the dying is core to nursing practice. Mastery of competencies is the main focus. Students are provided with
opportunities to learn a whole range of skills in addition to acquiring knowledge related to nursing practice (nursing and midwifery). This is achieved through
learning in skill lab/simulated lab and clinical environment. Simulation will be integrated throughout the curriculum wherever feasible to
enable them to develop competencies before entry into real field of practice.
The revised curriculum embraces competency-based and outcome-based approach throughout the program integrating mastery learning and self-directed
learning. Transformational and relationship based educational approaches are emphasized. Through the educational process the students assimilate and
synthesize knowledge, cultivate critical thinking skills and develop care strategies. Competencies that reflect practice standards of the Council address the areas
of cultural diversity, communication technology, teamwork and collaboration, safety, quality, therapeutic interventions and evidencebased practice. They are
prepared to provide safe and competent care to patients across life span and influence patient outcomes.

PHILOSOPHY
The Council believes that:
Health and wellness are two fundamental concepts that are integrated throughout the program. Health is a state of wellbeing that encompasses physical,
psychological, social, economic and spiritual dimensions. Wellness is the individual‘s perception of wellness and is influenced by the presence of disease and
individual‘s ability to adapt. Health is a right of all people. Individuals have a right to be active participants in achieving health as they perceive it. Society
consists of dynamic and interactive systems involving individuals, families, groups and communities. Cultural diversity, race, caste, creed, socio
economic levels, religion, lifestyles, changes in environment and political factors influence it. Nurses and midwives recognize and respect human differences
and diversity of population within society and provide ethical care with respect and dignity and protect their rights.
Nursing as a profession and a discipline utilizes knowledge derived from arts, sciences (physical, biological and behavioral), humanities and human experience.
Nursing science incorporates clinical competence, critical thinking, communication, teaching learning, professionalism, and caring and cultural competency.
Nurses collaborate with other health disciplines to solve individual and community health problems. Nursing facilitates evidence-based practice, compassionate
caring among its practitioners in response to emerging issues in healthcare and new discoveries and technologies in profession. Nursing practice requires
personal commitment to professional development and life-long learning.
Scope of nursing and midwifery practice encompasses provision of promotive, preventive, curative and rehabilitative aspects of care to people across the life
span in a wide variety of healthcare settings. Nursing practice is based on acquisition of knowledge, understanding, attitude, competencies and skills through the
Council‘s curricular and practice standards. The competencies in which the students are trained will guide them in performing their scope of practice. Nursing
offers qualified nurses and midwives a wealth of opportunities in the field of practice, education, management and research in India and overseas.
The undergraduate nursing program is broad based education within an academic curricular framework specifically directed to the development of critical
thinking skills, competencies appropriate to human and professional values. Blended learning approach comprising of experiential learning, reflective learning,
scenario based learning and simulated learning is also inbuilt. The teaching learning process encourages mastery learning, modular, self-directed and self-
accountable in choice making in terms of elective courses. The program prepares its graduates to become exemplary citizens by adhering to code of ethics and
professional conduct at all times in fulfilling personal, social and professional obligations so as to respond to national aspirations. Health and community
orientation are provided with special emphasis on national health problems, national health programs and national health policy directives to achieve universal
health care for all citizens of India. The main roles of graduates would be provider of care with beginning proficiency in delivering safe care,
coordinator/manager of care by being active participant of inter-professional team and member of a profession demonstrating self-responsibility and
accountability for practice as well as to support the profession.

The faculty has the responsibility to be role models and create learning environment that facilitates cultivation of critical thinking, curiosity, creativity and
inquiry driven self- directed learning and attitude of life-long learning in students. Learners and educators interact in a process whereby students gain
competencies required to function within their scope of practice.

UGC 10 point grading system is used with pass grade modified.
LETTER GRADE GRADE POINT PERCENTAGE OF MARKS

O( Outstanding) 10 100%
A+ (Excellent) 9 90-99.99%
A(very good) 8 80-89.99%
B+(Good) 7 70-79.99%
B(Above average) 6 60- 69.99%
C(Average) 5 50-59.99%
P(pass) 4 40-49.99%
F(Fail) 0
For Nursing Courses and all other courses – Pass is at C Grade (5 grade point) 50% and above For English and electives – Pass is at P Grade (4 grade point)
40% and above Computation of Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) SPGA is the weighted average of
the grade points obtained in all courses by the student during the semester (All courses excluding English and electives)

Ex-SGPA computation:-
COURSE NUMBER CREDITS LETTER GRADE GRADE POINT CREDIT POINT (CREDIT X GRADE
1. 3(C1) A 8(G1) 3x8=24

Computation of CGPA
CGPA is calculated with SGPA of all semesters to two decimal points and is indicated in final grade in mark card/transcript showing grades of all 8 semesters
and their courses/subjects. CGPA reflects the failed status in case of fail till the course/s are passed.

*Experiential Learning:
Experiential learning is the process by which knowledge is created through the process of experience in the clinical field. Knowledge results from the
combination of grasping and transforming experience. (Kolb, 1984). The experiential learning cycle begins with an experience that the student has had,
followed by an opportunity to reflect on that experience. Then students may conceptualize and draw conclusions about what they experienced and observed,
leading to future actions in which the students experiment with different behaviors. This begins the new cycle as the students have new experiences based on
their experimentation. These steps may occur in nearly and order as the learning progresses. As per the need of the learner, the concrete components and
conceptual components can be in different order as they may require a variety of cognitive and affective behaviors.
