Candidates seeking admission to the Auxiliary Nurse Midwifery (ANM) course must fulfil the educational qualification, age, domicile and other conditions prescribed in the official ANM/GNM Information Brochure.

Candidates applying for the General Nursing and Midwifery (GNM) course must meet the qualification and admission conditions specified for the respective institution/course category.
For Maharashtra's MH-Nursing CET framework, official 2026 information states that GNM admissions under the Public Health Department require candidates from both general and reserved categories to have passed HSC in the Science stream with Physics, Chemistry and Biology and obtained at least 45% aggregate marks. Candidates should, however, check the ANM/GNM Nursing Board brochure applicable to this CAP before treating those criteria as applicable to their particular seat or college.
Applicants must possess the prescribed qualifying examination certificate from a recognised board. The exact requirements regarding:
Class 10/SSC qualification
Class 12/HSC qualification
Required stream
Required subjects
Minimum percentage
should be verified from the official ANM/GNM Information Brochure before submitting the application.
Candidates claiming Maharashtra state candidature or reservation-related benefits may have to produce a valid domicile or other prescribed Maharashtra eligibility certificate, as applicable to their candidature.
Applicants should meet the course-specific minimum and maximum age requirements prescribed by the competent authority or the Indian Nursing Council.
Candidates may also have to meet medical fitness and other admission conditions applicable to nursing courses. Admission remains subject to document verification and fulfilment of all eligibility requirements.
