Rising to the much needed occasion, the K. L. E. Society took the challenge of producing well trained nurses in the city of Belgaum. To begin with, the Diploma programme was started in the year 1987 with the intake of just 60 students. Then, realising its increasing role, B.Sc. Nursing degree course was started in the year 1990 with the intake of 40 students and later M.Sc. Nursing (P.G.Nursing) was started in the year 1998 in three specialities; 1) Medical Surgical Nursing 2) Obstetrics & Gynaecologic Nursing 3) Community Health Nursing with the intake of  8 seats The diploma in Nursing Course is affiliated to Karnataka State Diploma in Nursing Examination Board, Bangalore. While B.Sc. Nursing Degree and M.Sc. Nursing Degree courses are affiliated to Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences, Bangalore. All these three programmes are recognised by Karnataka Nursing Council, Bangalore at the State level and Indian Nursing Council, New Delhi at the National level. All these three programmes are being run in an independent and well equipped college building. At present the total student's strength in the discipline of Nursing is 348.

During the year 1997 this college has been affiliated to Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU), New Delhi and this enables the Management to conduct post certificate B.Sc. Nursing degree course for Diploma Nurses through distance education and K.L.E. Society's College of Nursing is recognised as one of the study centres for the same course. At present there are as many as 72 students have enrolled themselves for this course.

The College is proud to mention that students of this college who have completed their training are in great demand all over the country and abroad ( Delhi, Calcutta, Mumbai, Chennai, Kerala and several other parts of the country). It is our pride to record here that they are employed in foreign countries. Summing up, it may be said that the College has adequate and sufficient facilities to produce quality nurses, well trained and well groomed in their respective discipline and they can confidently go out from this Institute and serve any where in the world as good, loyal, efficient nurses.
