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)


Certificates needed for Karnataka State Nursing Council  Registration


Attested Copy Of

  1. Provisional Degree Certificate
  2. Course Completion Certificate
  3. Mark lists
  4. Plus 2 Certificate/ Higher secondary Certificate
  5. S.S.L.C / 10th 
  6. Passport size photo- 2
A challan for Rs. 500/-  should be taken from Central Bank Of India, Gandhi Nagar Branch, Bangalore. Either you can collect the challan form from the Karnataka State Nursing Council or directly from the bank there.

Make sure that you have all the necessary documents with you before going to KSNC. Remember you should go yourself , they won't accept a second person behalf of you, as i was told. 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

When you enter inside the office, a person will be there on your right side, tell him/her the purpose of your visit. 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)

In the next counter on the opposite side, he/ she will give the application form to be filled up and ask you to take one large envelope and small plastic zip pouch from her table, If you have to register for both GNM and PB. 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.
In case of any delay you can call up and ask for it.

Note: You don't need to get the certificates attested by a gazetted officer, my principal did it for me.




Documents  Needed for GNM registration for PB. Bsc candidate

  1. State Nursing Council Registration from the state in which you have completed your Diploma
  2. Diploma certificate
  3. 12th Certificate
  4. S.S.L.C/ 10th certificate
  5. Passport size photos- 2 ( get additional plastic pouch for this photos )
  6. Application form to be filled.
So at the beginning itself get two application forms from the counter, one for Diploma and one for Degree.........:)

    2. Hi, as per rule KSNC will not renew your certificate unless you are working in Karnataka, so it is better to go to the council and make a request to registrar as it is needed for your reciprocal registration, they may help you.

  6. Hi Anna, My wife studied bsc nursing in karnataka and done registration in KNC. Now she is working in chennai and for that she needed tamilnadu nursing council registration. She got NOC from KNC and now tamilnadu nursing council is rejecting her application every time and they says the documents submitted are not sufficient. Is there any possibility to cancel the NOC from KNC and retain the KNC registration? Please reply............

    ReplyDelete
  7. Hi Aswin , please contact Tamilnadu Nursing Council to get a list of required documents and resubmit your application, there is no way that they can reject the application if the documents are complete. if the problem remain, it is good to get a written acknowledgement from TNC on reason for not accepting the application. Then you can contact KNC, they will help you in solving the issue.

  8. Hi Anna, My wife has completed her GNM in Aug., 2002 from K. T. G. School of Nursing, Banglore. She has Life Member'ship of The Karnataka State Nursing Council.

    1. WES is independent organisation that is appointed by Canada migration to evaluate educational credentials of the prospective candidates for canada migration. You just have to submit the education credentials in the prescribed form of WES , and pay the fee. The rest will be done by them. They have their methodology and system to get it assessed . Just drop a mail for WES , they will guide you.

  10. Hi Tom, to my knowledge it is not necessary to work in karnataka to renew your registration. As it is your parent council, they should renew your licence each time as prescribed.

    Replies
    1. This is a wrong info indeed. The latest changes in rules are in such a way that once Karnataka Registration is expired (even if its the parent council), the candidate can renew it only if he/she is working is Karnataka State. I had the same situation and I got this info from Karnataka Nursing Council website. Atlast I had to register in Kerala (Kerala does not need a kerala work experience). Also, we have to surrender the original karnataka registration to the kerala council while collecting the Kerala registration. I did all these and I am at Canada now

  19. Hi Anna

    I did Bsc Nursing from Tamil Nadu and then did MSc Nursing from Andra Pradesh. Before the Msc results were out, I got a job in Bangalore. Hence I took KNC registration
    surrendering my TNC registration in Karnataka Nurisng Coucil office.

    Now, The Andra Pradesh Nursing council (APNMC) needs NOC from "TNC" for MSc Registration, But TNC is demanding their original BSc registraion for NOC.

    Is there any way by which I can get my TNC registration which I surrendered in KNC, atleast for a short period of time ?

    Thank you

    1. Hi Merlin,
      Try contacting KNC and get a letter from them in the official letterhead and signed by registrar both addressing TNC and APNMC . Based on the letter you may be able to solve the issue trying your luck first with TNC then APNMC. Share your experience here once you are done !

    1. Plz contact the Karnataka nursing council about the renewal. Or try contacting Kerala nursing council . As per my knowledge you just have to surrender your present karnataka nursing registration with kerala nursing registration council and they will issue a new registration. But it is better contacting them before hand.

    Now m getting my credentials verification for New York by cgfns and they have selected to verify my license from karnataka state and since then have sent 2 letters to the karnataka nursing board. The board has replied to none so far and they aren't picking the call whenever I try n I tried a lot. I m in newyork now so certainly can't go their in person but I asked my friend in Bangalore.

    So my friend went there yesterday and they asked her about authorization form and what date the letter was sent from cgfns. As you would know cgfns doesn't disclose such dates but they have sent 2 letters already asking for verification. Also cgfns states that the concerned person shouldn't interfere between the institutes, as in how our transcripts are directly sent from college to cgfns. It's not suppose to go through ur to cgfns.
    Anyhow now m confused and really helpless. What should I do? What's the solution here?
    Can u tell me the process of getting verification from knc? If I m not working in karnataka does that mean I can just submit the challan and copy of the registration?

If you have a Kerala registration it is easy to get verification, they don't let you struggle.

    1. Usually Karnataka Nursing Council will not renew the licence unless you are working in Karnataka. But if you need it to be renewed for international licence tell your brother to meet the registrar personally. He should take the authorization letter behalf you.

  58. Hello Anna,
    This is a pretty good work what you are doing. I need to ask you a doubt that I did my MSc nursing in 2010 and got the KNC registration which does not have a life long valid stamp. Is that ok for an MAc registration,?

    ReplyDelete
  59. Hi Teenu, Thank you for compliment, I hope you mean Midwifery accreditation council by MAc, else pls leave a reply. If so you need to have a valid license, it doesnt mean life long. At the time of registration you should produce a valid one.

    1. Hi Bisha, I think it is better to renew your Karnataka registration but it is not easy as you are not working in Karnataka. The best thing you can do is to meet the registrar in person, she can help you in this matter( you can send some one behalf of you). If you choose expired option, they may ask for a valid one. Else you can apply with Kerala registration, I think that would be fine.

When you apply for KSNC registration, they will get your Jharkhand registration but it will not get cancelled. May be in future you can cancel your KSNC to get back the parent registration. Anyway just make sure before you start the process, as it is a new change.

    1. Hi Alby, This is the problem with most of the nurses in India, they wont do reciprocal registrations at the employed state, later it will lead to many issues. As you have a temporary registration under MNC, they should give a GSC. Usually you must submit a copy of your registration along with application, as it is not available please check with the council for the formalities. Try to share the information, it may help many.
