This study was a quantitative type of cross-sectional study with 150 participants randomly selected from 226 students of the Armed Forces Medical Institute located in Dhaka Cantonment of Dhaka city of Bangladesh.

Analysis was done by using univariate, multivariate techniques followed by regression modeling.Result:
Overall level of knowledge was observed poor (67.3%) among more than half of BSc nursing students. A greater part of nursing students got poor knowledge on the preventive measures to reduce transmission of COVID 19 (98.7%;40.20±12.39) & management of COVID 19 (94.7%;40.20±12.39). In terms of predicting the causes of poor knowledge, this study found that BSc nursing students of the second year (AOR= 2.53, p < 0.01) are more likely to have poor knowledge on COVID-19 compared to another educational group.Conclusion:
Nurses are the frontiers to mitigate COVID-19 and manage the affected people effectively. Therefore, knowledge of them needs to be perfect to ensure the proper practice to prevent COVID-19.
