Students from Burdwan district who want to do BSc Nursing have a clear question: do I go all the way to Kolkata for college, or is there a quality option closer to home?

The answer is Durgapur — 45 minutes from Burdwan on NH-2. Royal Institute of Nursing and Medical Sciences (RINMS) is the strongest BSc nursing college in the Burdwan region of West Bengal for 2026-27 admission. INC and WBUHS approved, own hospital, 100 BSc Nursing seats, all-inclusive hostel, and six scholarship schemes.

Why Burdwan Students Should Consider RINMS Durgapur for BSc Nursing

Burdwan district is one of the largest in West Bengal, with major towns at Burdwan city, Asansol, Durgapur, and smaller centres at Katwa, Kalna, and Memari. Students from across this district — and from neighbouring Bankura, Birbhum, Purba Bardhaman, and Paschim Bardhaman — look for BSc nursing colleges that are accessible without a full relocation to Kolkata.

RINMS at Durgapur meets this need directly:

• Distance from Burdwan city: approximately 45 km, under 1 hour by road or rail
• Distance from Asansol: approximately 40 km, under 1 hour
• Distance from Bankura: approximately 70 km, 1.5 hours
• Located on NH-2 with direct road and rail connectivity

Students from Burdwan who choose RINMS can visit home every weekend if they choose. The hostel is available for those who prefer to stay on campus — all-inclusive with food, lodging, and transport.
