Rajasthan Nursing Council

What Rajasthan Nursing Council does

Rajasthan Nursing Council (RNC) is a statutory regulatory body established on March 28, 1964 under the Rajasthan Nursing, Midwives, Health Visitors and Auxiliary Nurse Midwives Registration Act, No. 9 of 1964, operating under the Government of Rajasthan's Medical & Health Services Department. It is the sole state-level regulator for nursing education and professional practice in Rajasthan, exercising exclusive authority to recognize nursing training institutions, prescribe syllabi and curriculum, conduct qualifying examinations, and register qualified practitioners. The Council oversees a substantial regulated footprint comprising 34 ANM training centres, 226 GNM training centres, 254 B.Sc. Nursing colleges, 51 P.B. B.Sc. Nursing centres, and 27 M.Sc. Nursing colleges across the state, spanning government, private, and PPP ownership models. Its current leadership comprises Dr. Ravi Prakash Sharma as President (also Director of Public Health, Medical & Health Services, Rajasthan) and Joice Kurian as Registrar, supported by a lean staff of 27 employees.

RNC delivers its regulatory mandate through a digital service infrastructure built on three self-service web portals: a registration portal (onlineportal.rncjaipur.org) for new registration, renewal, duplicate certificates, additional qualifications, foreign registration, and migration; an examination portal (examcenter.rncjaipur.org and exam.rncjaipur.org) for examination center and examiner workflows; and a results portal (rncexam.in) for publication of outcomes across ANM, GNM, B.Sc. Nursing, P.B. B.Sc. Nursing, and M.Sc. Nursing programs. The Council maintains the Nurse Registration Tracking System (NRTS), a unique-ID-bearing state-wide database of registered professionals that anchors its verification and NOC services.

The Council's revenue mechanics are fee-based rather than tax-funded, with four primary streams: institutional recognition and inspection fees (INR 25,000–60,000 plus GST per institution per year depending on program tier), per-candidate examination fees (INR 300–2,000), registration and renewal fees (INR 500–3,000 plus GST, with renewals on a five-year cycle), and verification/foreign-corroboration fees priced at a premium for international verification. As a non-profit state entity, the Council reinvests fee revenue into operations and is supplemented by Government of Rajasthan budgetary support; specific revenue and budget figures are not publicly disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• Indian Nursing Council: The national apex regulatory body for nursing education and practice in India, established under the Indian Nursing Council Act, 1947. It sets national standards, recognizes universities, and oversees state councils like Rajasthan — the most direct hierarchical peer.
• National Medical Commission: Apex regulatory body for medical education and practice in India. Analogous professional regulatory architecture to the Indian/state nursing councils, useful as a structural and governance peer for the regulatory model.
• All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE): Statutory body approving and regulating technical and professional education institutions. Comparable in the function of institutional recognition and approval, although operating at national level across multiple disciplines.
• Pharmacy Council of India: National statutory body regulating pharmacy education and registration under a parallel Act-based framework. Comparable in governance model, fee-based revenue, and the relationship between central and state pharmacy regulators.

Direct peers

• Karnataka State Nursing Council: State-level statutory nursing regulator in Karnataka performing the same institutional recognition, examination, and registration functions as Rajasthan Nursing Council. Closest functional peer given the identical mandate and operating model.
• Uttar Pradesh State Medical Faculty (Nursing Wing): State-level body administering nursing examinations and registration in UP, with overlapping regulatory functions (institution recognition, exam conduct, certification) comparable to Rajasthan Nursing Council.
• Maharashtra Nursing Council: State-level statutory nursing regulator in Maharashtra with comparable scope over institution recognition, examinations, and registration. Operates a similar digital registration and examination infrastructure for a larger state nursing ecosystem.

• Kerala Nurses and Midwives Council: Kerala's statutory nursing council performing institution recognition, qualifying examination, and registration duties analogous to Rajasthan. Notable for handling one of the largest overseas-bound nursing populations in India, similar in foreign-verification function.
