Twenty-one years of professional and general higher education in Dehradun — nursing, allied health, commerce, management, computing, education, science and yoga, across two campuses.
Three levels, nine schools, two campuses — from a one-year professional degree to a four-year nursing degree.
Maduwala carries nursing, allied health, pharmacy and science, with the laboratories and hospital arrangements those need. Garhi Cantt carries commerce, management, computing, education and arts. College transport connects both to the city.
Eighty-seven per cent of our students take part in something beyond their timetable — the annual sports meet, Chetna Utsav, the yoga camp, or one of the clubs.
Most Nav Chetna graduates go one of three ways — straight into employment in the field they trained for, into a government examination they have been preparing for alongside their degree, or into a postgraduate programme. The placement and career cell supports all three.

Nav Chetna has been teaching in Dehradun for twenty-one years. In that time more than five thousand students have passed through the two campuses — many of them the first in their family to hold a degree.
The group is deliberately broad. A student can take a professional nursing or pharmacy qualification here, a commerce or management degree, a computing degree, a teaching qualification or a humanities degree — without leaving the city or the group. That breadth is what lets us keep fees at a level families in Uttarakhand can actually meet.
Each school runs its own laboratories, its own faculty and its own relationships with the hospitals, firms and schools where our students train.
Clinically anchored training in nursing, physiotherapy, laboratory, radiology and operation-theatre technology, with hospital postings from the first year.

Nursing and allied health students are on hospital wards from the first year, not the last — supervised, assessed and treated as part of the team.
Programmes are affiliated to Uttarakhand's state and central universities and approved by the PCI, NCTE and the State Nursing Council.
From a one-year library science degree to a four-year nursing degree — most students find their route here without leaving the city.
Published annual fees, published one-time charges, and concessions of up to 100% for domicile, girl child, defence, sibling, sports and EWS categories.
Experienced teachers, many of whom have been with the group for years and know their students individually — the reason 92% of our students graduate on time.
Where Nav Chetna graduates are hired. These are the sectors that take our students — clinical training relationships account for most nursing and allied health recruitment.
Six graduates, six routes out — nursing, computing, teaching, commerce, midwifery and management.
The clinical postings started in the first year and that changed everything for me. By the time I finished, I had spent so much time on the wards that my first job did not feel like a first job.
The computer labs were open to us for project work whenever we needed them, and the faculty pushed us to actually build applications rather than only write examinations. I joined a software firm in Dehradun within two months.
The school internship was the most useful part of the course. Standing in front of a real class with a mentor watching taught me more than any lecture could have. I cleared CTET the same year.
The things prospective students and parents ask us most often.
Nursing, allied health and pharmacy intakes are capped by the councils that approve them, and they fill early. Apply online, or walk in to either campus and talk to a counsellor — there is no obligation and no charge for the conversation.
