ANM and GNM are diploma degrees in the field of Nursing, whereas BSc Nursing is an undergraduate degree course. All three courses cater to the field of nursing and healthcare. ANM GNM full form is Auxiliary Nurse Midwifery and General Nursing Midwifery. To shed some light on the differences between ANM, GNM, and BSc Nursing courses, the ANM course typically emphasizes training students about basic healthcare, nursing facilities, etc. Whereas the GNM course is skill-based and trains students to assist doctors and surgeons in post-surgical patient healthcare and cater to related requirements. As for the BSc Nursing course, students are offered an in-depth knowledge of various aspects of Nursing, along with extensive knowledge about patient care and community medicine.

The basic difference between ANM and GNM is the course duration and the structure. The ANM Nursing course lasts for 2 years and focuses on theoretical knowledge, whereas the GNM Nursing course duration lasts 3.5 years and equips students with the skills required to tend to post-surgical patients, thus emphasizing practical knowledge. In terms of career prospects, GNM graduates have a higher chance of securing high-end nursing jobs at established hospitals when compared to ANM course graduates. However, if we compare GNM vs BSc Nursing, then BSc Nursing graduates are given preference over the former. BSc Nursing students can even opt to go for higher studies, or they can choose to work as Nursing supervisors.
