STUDY GUIDE

How to prepare for B.Sc Nursing 3rd year

By Dr. Prince Kaushik, Founder, NPrep (AIIMS Jodhpur) · Updated September 2026

Third year brings the specialties: child health, mental health, community health and midwifery. They decide a big part of your university result and your NORCET score.

Specialties to master

Child Health covers growth and development, newborn care and IMNCI. Mental Health covers disorders, therapies and communication. Community Health covers national health programmes and epidemiology, which are asked every year in government exams.

Study method

  • Learn milestones and immunisation schedules as tables
  • Keep a list of national health programmes with their launch year and aims
  • Practise image-based questions for newborn and paediatric topics
  • Keep revising 1st and 2nd year alongside

Planning for final year

If you plan to sit NORCET right after graduating, the 3rd + 4th Year Plan covers both years for less than the two plans bought separately, and runs through your final exams.
