Get down at Trivandram Central (code-TVC)  railway station(thampanoor) and catch an auto, its 2-3 km. They will charge 25-30 rupees.   Land Mark is near General Hospital. Half a kilometer from there.

Dental and Medical councils are also in the same building. We did registration for outside Kerala nurses. I think for those who studied in Kerala, procedure is same. Outside Kerala nurses require registration certificate from respective nursing council

3) Documents Required

Take 2 attested copies of following

1. Degree/provisional  certificate
2. SSLC
3. Course Completion
4. Mark lists
5. Registration certificate from respective nursing council (for outside Kerala nurses). If you studied in Karnataka, registration certificate from KNC Karnataka.
6. Photos

4) Fees 

  

You need to take DD or chalan for 1000 rupees. You can take the chalan at nursing counsel itself as they have provided a small branch of SBT.  Total is Rs 1010 (1000  + Rs 10 for chalan commission)

 Be prepared to wait in a long queue to take chalan

5) General Notes

10. I tried to do online registration thru their website, but no information on how to fill. Hence, I felt that it is absolutely waste!!!!. In case someone already did online registration, please let me know. Put the comments below.

8) When you will get Registration Certificate?

   You may get the registration certificate in one month. But, for us it took around two months. After we submitted the application, it seems the certificate is generated in 10 days as I see the date in the certificate. But I don't know why it took two months. They sent us in speed post to the address we mentioned in the application form

The validity of the nursing certificate is 5 years.
