SGT P.B.B.Sc Nursing FAQs
Ques. Can a GNM-qualified nurse with less than 55% marks apply for Post Basic B.Sc. Nursing at SGT University?
Ans. The official eligibility criterion for Post Basic B.Sc. Nursing at SGT University requires a GNM diploma from a recognised board/university and valid R.N.R.M. registration. The university's website does not specify a minimum percentage cutoff for GNM marks for this programme (unlike PhD programmes which require 55%). However, since admission is merit-based, candidates with higher GNM marks will have a better chance of securing a seat. Candidates with lower marks should still apply and check the merit list, as seat availability and competition vary each year.
Ques. Is NEET required for admission to Post Basic B.Sc. Nursing at SGT University?
Ans. No, NEET is not required for Post Basic B.Sc. Nursing admission. This programme is a lateral entry degree for registered nurses who have already completed GNM. Admission is based on merit in the GNM qualifying examination and valid R.N.R.M. registration. NEET is required only for Basic B.Sc. Nursing (the 4-year programme for fresh 12th-pass students). Post Basic B.Sc. Nursing has a separate, simpler admission process.
Ques. What is the difference between Basic B.Sc. Nursing and Post Basic B.Sc. Nursing at SGT University?
Ans. Basic B.Sc. Nursing is a 4-year programme for students who have passed 12th with PCB and qualified NEET. Post Basic B.Sc. Nursing (P.B.B.Sc.) is a 2-year programme exclusively for registered nurses who have completed GNM. The Post Basic programme is a faster route to a degree for working nurses, covering advanced topics and building on the clinical foundation already established during GNM training. Both programmes lead to a B.Sc. Nursing degree, but the Post Basic route is specifically designed for experienced nurses.
Ques. After completing Post Basic B.Sc. Nursing from SGT University, am I eligible to apply for government nursing jobs?
Ans. Yes, a Post Basic B.Sc. Nursing degree from an INC-approved institution like SGT University makes you eligible for government nursing recruitment. Many state and central government nursing recruitment notifications (such as AIIMS, ESIC, Railway hospitals, and state health departments) accept both Basic and Post Basic B.Sc. Nursing degrees. The degree also makes you eligible for nursing faculty positions in nursing colleges, which typically require a B.Sc. Nursing degree as the minimum qualification.
Ques. What is the National Reference Simulation Centre (NRSC) at SGT University, and how does it benefit Post Basic Nursing students?
Ans. The NRSC at SGT University is Asia's first referral centre for simulation-based learning in nursing education, established in 2018 in collaboration with INC, JHPIEGO, and Laerdal Medical India. It is a 13,500 sq. ft. facility equipped with high-fidelity, medium-fidelity, and low-fidelity manikins for realistic clinical training. For Post Basic B.Sc. Nursing students, the NRSC provides an opportunity to practice advanced clinical scenarios in a safe, simulated environment before applying skills on real patients. This is particularly valuable for nurses who may have had limited exposure to certain specialised procedures during their GNM training.
Ques. Can I pursue M.Sc. Nursing after completing Post Basic B.Sc. Nursing from SGT University?
Ans. Yes, after completing Post Basic B.Sc. Nursing, you are eligible to apply for M.Sc. Nursing programmes. SGT University itself offers M.Sc. Nursing in multiple specialisations including Medical Surgical Nursing, Obstetric and Gynaecological Nursing, Child Health (Paediatric) Nursing, Mental Health (Psychiatric) Nursing, and Community Health Nursing. The M.Sc. Nursing programme at SGT University requires a B.Sc. Nursing degree (Basic or Post Basic) with at least 55% marks and valid R.N.R.M. registration as the minimum eligibility.
