2. Recognition Status
Both the college you are currently studying in (Parent College) and the college you want to move to (Receiving College) must be recognized by the Indian Nursing Council (INC) and affiliated with SSUHS.
3. Government to Government Transfer
Migration between Government Nursing Colleges is generally restricted. It is granted only on compassionate grounds or genuine medical grounds. Adequate proof must be submitted to substantiate these claims.
4. Vacancy and Intake Limits
- The 5% Rule:ย Migration is restricted toย 5% of the sanctioned intakeย of the receiving college for that specific academic year.
- Capacity Limit:ย The migration must not result in the total number of students exceeding the sanctioned capacity of the receiving college.
How to Apply for SSUHS Migration: The Step-by-Step Process
If you meet the eligibility criteria mentioned above, you must follow a precise documentation process. Missing a document or a deadline can lead to the rejection of your request.
Step 1: Secure the Three NOCs
The most critical part of the process is obtaining No Objection Certificates (NOCs) from three different authorities:
- Current College:ย NOC from the Principal of the college where you are currently enrolled.
- Receiving College:ย NOC from the Principal of the college where you intend to migrate.
- University (SSUHS):ย An NOC from Srimanta Sankaradeva University of Health Sciences.
Step 2: Prepare the Application
Draft a formal application addressing the Director of Medical Education (DME), Assam. Attach the three NOCs and your 1st-year mark sheet.
Step 3: Submit within the Deadline
Time is of the essence. You must submit your application to the DME, Assam within one month (30 days) of the declaration of the B.Sc. Nursing 1st Year University results. Applications submitted after this window are usually not entertained.
Academic & Attendance Rules Post-Migration
Once your migration is approved, you must ensure your academic record remains intact for the 2nd Year examinations.
- Combined Attendance:ย To be eligible for the B.Sc. Nursing 2nd Year University Examination, your attendance will be calculated by combining:
- Attendance secured in the previous college (before migration).
- Attendance secured in the new college (after migration).
- You must meet the minimum attendance percentage required by SSUHS/INC norms using this combined figure.
