Established in 2005, Red Crescent College of Nursing in Calicut is a well-regarded institution for nursing education in the Malabar region of Kerala. The college is affiliated with the Kerala University of Health Sciences (KUHS) and holds the necessary approvals from the Indian Nursing Council (INC) and the Kerala Nurses and Midwives Council (KNMC), assuring students of a recognised and standardised curriculum. For students targeting admissions for the 2025 academic year, the college offers key nursing programs including the four-year Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.), a two-year Post Basic B.Sc., and a Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Nursing across several specialities. Admissions to its undergraduate courses are primarily managed through the centralised allotment process of the LBS Centre for Science and Technology, based on merit in your higher secondary examinations. The annual tuition fee for the B.Sc. Nursing program is approximately INR 72,000, which is in line with the government-regulated fee structure for private self-financing colleges in Kerala. While placement data for the upcoming 2025 and 2026 batches is prospective, the institution leverages its parent Red Crescent Hospital for extensive clinical training and internships. The college provides robust placement assistance, and its graduates are known to secure positions in reputed multi-speciality hospitals across India and abroad, particularly in the Middle East. The emphasis is on building strong clinical skills, which translates directly into high employability for students after they complete their degree.
