(Bonus: If you’re still studying, stick around to the end to discover why thousands are calling Ezi Nurse the best app for nursing students.)

📋 Step 1: Gather Your Required Documents

Before you even open your browser, make sure you have scanned copies of the following documents ready on your computer. They must be clear, readable, and in the correct file format (usually PDF or JPEG):

• Aadhaar Card: (Crucial: Your mobile number must be linked to your Aadhaar for DigiLocker e-KYC verification).

• Proof of Date of Birth: 10th/SSLC Marks Card or Transfer Certificate.

• Educational Certificates: Degree/Diploma Certificate (GNM, B.Sc, PB B.Sc, or M.Sc).

• Mark Sheets: Marks cards for all years of your nursing program.

• Course Completion Certificate: Issued by your college/university.

• Passport-Size Photo & Signature: Recent digital photo and a scanned copy of your signature.

💻 Step 2: The Step-by-Step Karnataka Nursing Council Registration Process

1. Visit the Official KSNC Portal

Head over to the official Karnataka State Nursing Council website at karnataka-nursing-council-registration. Always ensure you are on the official government portal to protect your personal data.

2. Create Your Account

Click on the Online Registration tab. If you are a new applicant, leave the KSNC registration number box blank and fill in your basic details (Email ID and Mobile Number). You will receive an email and an OTP to verify your account. Note: Usually, your initial password will be your registered mobile number, which you should change immediately for security.

3. Complete DigiLocker e-KYC

The KSNC has modernized its system by integrating with DigiLocker. You will be prompted to complete your e-KYC using your Aadhaar number. This step is mandatory; without it, your final registration certificate will not be pushed to your digital account.

4. Fill in Personal and Educational Info

Navigate through the dashboard and meticulously fill out your personal details, contact information, and educational history. Double-check everything—a simple typo can delay your approval.

5. Upload Your Documents

In the document section, upload the scanned files you prepared in Step 1. Ensure every upload is assigned to the correct category.

6. Pay the Registration Fee

Proceed to the payment gateway to pay the required registration fee online. Once the payment is successful, download and save the payment receipt for your records.

7. Track Your Application & Download Your Certificate

For standard new registrations, you generally do not need to visit the council in person. Once the council approves your application and digital signature, your official KSNC Registration Certificate will be pushed directly to your DigiLocker app under the “Issued Documents” section.

Note: If your application is rejected due to blurry documents or missing info, the portal will notify you via SMS/Email so you can log back in and resubmit.
