How much is the monthly stipend of an MNS officer during the 4 year course? Is it Rs.250 or Rs.17k?

Hello,

Hope you are doing good!

The training period candidates are provided with a stipend of 250/ month in MNS nursing. College fees are also not taken from candidates in MNS nursing. Female students who pass the Indian Army BSc Nursing Exam and interview will be admitted to the four-year Army BSc Nursing programme. Following their selection, they will go through a training phase. They will be in charge of the Military hospitals throughout this time period. Female applicants will get the MNS allowance while undergoing training.

As their pocket expenditures, the MNS pay during training is INR 8000. Incentives and other allowances are added to this basic salary of a Military Nurse in India like Dearness Allowance (DA) charges will be provided separately on top of consolidated MNS BSc Nursing salary which includes basic pay, grade pay and Military Service pay together.

MNS is a four-year programme in which the selected candidate is admitted to one of six institutions with a total of 220 seats. Because only female applicants are qualified to apply for the Indian Army BSc Nursing programme, MNS (Military Nursing Service) is one of the greatest avenues for female candidates to engage with the Indian Army. Female applicants have a similar lifestyle as officers while on the job.

The life of a MNS nurse is quite challenging and is a satisfactory for girls who wish to serve sick soldiers in their capacity as nurse. They are also ranked and promoted as they go along in the services. Their life is bit hard comparing it to civilian nurses because you are working for the Indian Army. In MNS people can get a life insurance for a small monthly fee (deducted from their pay) in order to protect their family or any other issue.
