RUHS B.Sc FAQs
Ques. Does RUHS itself teach B.Sc students or does it only affiliate colleges?
Ans. RUHS has its own constituent teaching units including the RUHS College of Nursing Sciences, which directly admits and teaches 100 B.Sc Nursing students per year in Jaipur. The university also affiliates many nursing and paramedical colleges across Rajasthan, which follow the RUHS curriculum and whose students appear in RUHS examinations. If you are applying to the RUHS constituent college specifically, the campus and hospital are in Pratap Nagar, Jaipur.
Ques. Is the RUHS CUET the same as the NTA Common University Entrance Test?
Ans. No, the RUHS CUET is a separate university-conducted entrance test for health sciences programmes at RUHS-affiliated colleges in Rajasthan. It is not the NTA CUET used for central universities. The RUHS CUET covers biology, chemistry, and physics at the 10+2 level and is used for paramedical UG programme admission. For B.Sc Nursing, merit in NEET UG may also be considered depending on the programme cycle and RUHS notification.
Ques. Can RUHS B.Sc Nursing graduates register with the Indian Nursing Council?
Ans. Yes, B.Sc Nursing awarded by RUHS is recognised by the Indian Nursing Council and the Rajasthan Nurses Registration Council. Graduates can register as a Registered Nurse and Registered Midwife with the state council after completing their internship. This registration is required for employment in government hospitals and for appearing in staff nurse recruitment examinations run by RPSC, AIIMS, ESIC, and other bodies.
Ques. What is the difference in career scope between B.Sc MLT and B.Sc Radiation Technology at RUHS?
Ans. B.Sc MLT graduates work in diagnostic laboratories performing blood tests, microbiological cultures, and biochemical analyses. The demand is high in both government labs and private diagnostic chains. B.Sc Radiation Technology graduates operate radiological equipment in hospitals and imaging centres. Both fields have steady government recruitment in Rajasthan through RSMSSB and central health services. MLT has a broader number of vacancies while Radiation Technology tends to offer higher starting salaries in the private sector.
Ques. What happens if I want to change my RUHS-affiliated college after allotment?
Ans. After seat allotment in RUHS counselling, you can opt for an upgraded college in subsequent rounds if a seat opens up at your preferred institution. Once all rounds are completed, mid-programme college transfers are governed by strict RUHS transfer rules and are rarely permitted without valid medical or administrative reasons. It is advisable to carefully fill preferences in decreasing order of priority during choice-filling to avoid a situation requiring a transfer later.
