Who can apply for CG M.Sc Nursing 2027?
You can apply if you meet the Chhattisgarh Nursing Course Admission Rules 2019 and the latest DME guidelines, which CME follows at admission:
- B.Sc Nursing, B.Sc (Hons) Nursing or Post Basic B.Sc Nursing with at least 55% aggregate marks (5% relaxation for SC and ST).
- At least 1 year of work experience after Basic B.Sc Nursing, or 1 year of experience before or after Post Basic B.Sc Nursing.
- Registered as a nurse and midwife with a State Nursing Council, as INC norms require.
- Indian citizen and a Chhattisgarh mool niwasi (domicile). Candidates from other states can compete only for the unreserved open (management) seats of private colleges.
- No minimum or maximum age limit, following INC notices of 2023.
Half of the M.Sc Nursing seats in government colleges are reserved for in-service government nurses, who need at least 5 years of regular service by 30 April of the exam year. Filling the form or sitting the exam does not by itself make you eligible; documents are checked at counselling.

The official syllabus does not split marks by subject. See the CG M.Sc Nursing syllabus for the topics in each subject.
How does CME counselling work after the result?
The Commissionerate of Medical Education (CME), Chhattisgarh, not CGSSB, allots M.Sc Nursing seats at cgdme.in using the entrance score list.
- CME posts an online application notice for M.Sc Nursing admission on cgdme.in.
- Register, pay the counselling fee and choose your colleges in order of preference.
- CME publishes a merit list and allotment lists, followed by mop-up and stray rounds for vacant seats.
- Report to the allotted college with original documents and pay the fee to confirm your seat.
Counselling usually comes months after the result. For 2025 admissions, the M.Sc Nursing mop-up round notice came on 30 October 2025 and a stray round followed on 31 October.
