About the college
Healthcare education, on the pulse.
Who we are
A campus only for medical courses.
Diya College of Nursing stands at 4S Avenue, 28A, Ramamurthy Nagar Road, Kalkere — in the heart of Bengaluru, close to KR Puram, SMVT and Banaswadi railway stations and the city's metro and bus stations. The college and its hostels are a five-minute walk apart.
The entire campus is dedicated to medical-related courses. Alongside our nursing programmes — B.Sc. Nursing, GNM, Post Basic B.Sc. and M.Sc. Nursing — Diya Group of Institutions offers pharmacy, physiotherapy and allied health sciences.
Teaching happens in smart classrooms with individual seating, LED displays, projectors and slides; practice happens in INC-standard labs supervised by qualified clinical staff; and clinical experience comes from our own and partner multi-speciality hospitals. Qualified post-graduate tutors assess practicals and internal marks.
Our management is Malayali, and so are our mess staff — which makes communication at the front office, in accounts and with tutors and clinical staff easy, and puts hygienic Kerala food on the table.
