​

The college is formally recognized by the Government of Andhra Pradesh, affirming that all its programs and activities meet the required standards for professional nursing education within the state. This recognition ensures that the institution operates within a legal and transparent framework, safeguarding the interests of students and parents alike.

It is also approved by the Andhra Pradesh Nurses and Midwives Council, which plays a vital role in regulating nursing practice and education at the state level. This approval guarantees that the training imparted at Nagarjuna College of Nursing is aligned with professional nursing standards and prepares students for licensure and practice in Andhra Pradesh and beyond.

At the national level, the college holds recognition from the Indian Nursing Council (INC), New Delhi, the apex statutory body governing nursing education across India. INC approval assures that the programs offered here conform to national benchmarks of curriculum, teaching methodologies, clinical training, and student assessment, thereby enabling graduates to pursue opportunities across India and even abroad where INC recognition is accepted.
