Gautam Institute of Nursing (GIN)

What GIN claims on its website

The institute says it was established in 2015 under a trust named Shantidoot Trust. gautamnursing.com+1
It offers several nursing-related courses:
- B.Sc. Nursing (4 years) gautamnursing.com+1
- GNM (General Nursing and Midwifery) (3 years) gautamnursing.com+1
- ANM (Auxiliary Nurse Midwife) (2 years) gautamnursing.com+1
- Also “Post Basic B.Sc. Nursing” for those eligible. gautamnursing.com+1
The institute claims to be approved/recognized for these courses by Bihar Nurses Registration Council (BNRC), Patna — including hospital-training permissions for ANM/GNM/B.Sc Nursing etc. gautamnursing.com+1
The institute’s listed location is “Saiyad Bahri, Hilsa-Chandi Road, Nalanda – 801307”. gautamnursing.com+1
They describe their objective as producing “clinically efficient and culturally sensitive nursing care personnel” capable of serving community health needs. gautamnursing.com+1

So on paper, GIN presents itself as a nursing-education institute offering recognized courses with claimed regulatory approval.

What needs verification / what’s unclear

However, as with many private/less-known institutes, some things remain uncertain from public information:

I could not find any independent external source (government listings, regulatory-body published lists, trustworthy news articles) that confirm — beyond the institute’s own website — that GIN’s approvals (BNRC, course permissions, seat-sanctioning) are currently valid.
The publicly available info on third-party directories or education-authority databases does not clearly list GIN among well-documented/established nursing colleges in Bihar (at least none that are clearly marked).
There is little to no available feedback/reviews from ex-students or third-party reviews that confirm the quality of teaching, infrastructure, placement, clinical exposure, etc.
As with many private institutes, “approved/recognized” status on the website does not always guarantee consistent quality, campus infrastructure, or that the institute maintains required standards over time — so a physical visit / due diligence would be wise.

What you should check carefully (if you or someone you know is evaluating GIN)

If you are thinking about joining (or recommending) GIN, I’d suggest doing the following checks in person or via verified documents:

Request official recognition/approval letters from the BNRC (or other regulatory authority) — check that approvals for your intended course (ANM / GNM / B.Sc Nursing) are valid for the current academic year.
Visit the campus (or ask someone to) — check whether there are real clinical-training facilities, labs, classrooms, hospital partnerships (as claimed), especially since nursing demands clinical exposure.
Try to speak with current students or recent alumni, if possible — to get an honest sense of quality, teaching, clinical exposure, and whether placements/hospital internships are real and functioning.
Compare with other recognized nursing colleges in your region (or in Bihar) — especially if you plan further studies or want a widely recognized qualification.
Verify documentation (admission forms, certificates, seat-sanction certificates) carefully before enrolment.

My View (Based on Public Info)

Gautam Institute of Nursing could be a legitimate nursing-education institute — it has a website, course list, claimed regulatory approval, and course structure. However publicly available independent verification is weak. So, for someone considering admission — treat it as potentially valid, but proceed only after careful due diligence
