What can you do through BNRC?
- Check results: The council’s portal lists year-wise results, marksheets and diploma certificates for GNM, and a registration search for GNM, ANM and Post Basic B.Sc Nursing.
- Nurse registration: Nurses who pass the council’s courses are registered with the council. Ask the council office for the current form, fee and documents before you apply, because these can change.
- Good standing and verification: Nurses applying for jobs outside Bihar or abroad usually need a good standing or credential verification certificate. Private guides describe an online application, a printed form attested by your institute, and submission with self-attested documents at the council office. Treat this as general guidance and confirm the current process with the council.
Careful: many websites call themselves “official”
Search results for BNRC show several websites with “Official: Bihar Nurses Registration Council, Patna” in their titles, on different domain names. Before you enter your date of birth, roll number or payment details on any site:
- Phone the council on 0612-2215001 and ask which website is currently in use.
- Never pay an agent who promises a “guaranteed” registration or certificate.
- Do not share OTPs or passwords with anyone.
