Nursing - Compulsory Bond Illegal
Nursing studies across the country were made semester wise only. The compulsory signing of service bond system and the withholding of certificates from students was made illegal. If this is noticed, the Nursing Council may take strict action, according to a notification issued by the Central Government consolidating the course criteria.
The draft directive that requesting the admission of those who have studied Humanities at the Higher Secondary level should be given admission was omitted in the final notification. Admission will only be given to science students.
