Post Basic B.Sc. Nursing at SRK University is a 2-year degree programme for registered GNM nurses in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. Running since 2013 at RKDF College of Nursing, it lets working nurses upgrade to a bachelor’s-level qualification, with 90 seats for 2026-27 admissions.

Intake
Eligibility
Post Basic B.Sc. Nursing at SRK University is built specifically for GNM-qualified, registered nurses who want a bachelor’s degree without repeating the full 4-year B.Sc. Nursing programme from scratch. Running since 2013 at RKDF College of Nursing, it condenses degree-level nursing education into 2 years by building on the clinical foundation GNM graduates already have.
This route is common among working nurses in Bhopal’s hospitals who want better career mobility, eligibility for supervisory and teaching roles, and a stronger foundation for later postgraduate study — all without stepping away from active practice for four years. With 90 seats, it’s SRK’s second-largest nursing intake after B.Sc. Nursing itself.
The programme accepts nurses already registered with a State Nursing Council, making it a credential-upgrade pathway rather than a first-time nursing qualification.

Year 1 covers Advanced Nursing Practice, Nursing Education, and Nursing Research, building on GNM-level clinical knowledge.
Year 2 introduces Nursing Management, Community Health Nursing at an advanced level, and a research project or dissertation. The condensed format assumes foundational clinical competence, focusing coursework on management, education, and research skills GNM training doesn’t typically cover.
