Dear Experts,
If any Nursing College introduces Scholarship Schemes/ for the meritorious nursing students with the condition that :
• The sponsored candidate should sign a Bond to work in any of the Hospitals of our group for the period of 3 years.
• The total sponsored amount will be recoverable by the Employer / Institution on her behalf during the Bond period.
Is it legally possible, especially when there is a Directive of the Indian Nursing Council against bonds from students.
If not what alternative can be adopted by the Nursing institution, if the student/ parents opts for such a scheme.
Please advice

No, like I mentioned that the scheme would be facilitating those meritorious students (having more than 60% in their Higher Secondary and being selected through a proper selection procedure)who belong to economically challenged family. In return the Company wants a commitment that the student after completion of Nursing course, will serve in the healthcare establishment belonging to the company, and will be paid at per market salary.
