Eligibility
NPCC at SRK University is the university’s most specialized nursing qualification, focused entirely on critical care — training nurses to independently manage ICU patients, ventilator support, and emergency interventions under a nurse practitioner scope of practice. Running since 2018 at RKDF College of Nursing, it’s the newest addition to SRK’s nursing programme lineup, reflecting rising demand for critical care specialists across Madhya Pradesh’s expanding hospital ICU capacity.
With only 10 seats, NPCC runs as SRK’s smallest and most intensive nursing cohort, combining classroom instruction with hands-on ICU clinical postings at attached hospital facilities. The programme suits registered nurses who already have B.Sc. Nursing-level qualifications and want to move into high-acuity critical care roles rather than general ward nursing.
Graduates are trained to function with greater clinical autonomy in ICU settings than a general staff nurse role typically allows.
NPCC graduates from SRK University move into ICU nurse practitioner, critical care specialist, and trauma/emergency nursing roles across hospital critical care units.
Year 1 covers Advanced Pathophysiology, Critical Care Nursing Concepts, and Applied Pharmacology for critical care.
Year 2 focuses on hands-on ICU clinical practicum, ventilator and hemodynamic monitoring management, and emergency/trauma care protocols, closing with a supervised critical care clinical placement and competency assessment before certification.
SRK University's NPCC programme at RKDF College of Nursing is recognised by the Indian Nursing Council as an advanced critical care nursing qualification.
Candidates need a B.Sc. Nursing or Post Basic B.Sc. Nursing degree along with nurse registration, meeting the minimum aggregate percentage set by the university for admission.
SRK University offers 10 seats annually for its NPCC programme, making it the university's smallest nursing cohort.
NPCC stands for Nurse Practitioner in Critical Care, a specialized 2-year postgraduate nursing programme focused on ICU and critical care practice.
NPCC is a focused, practice-oriented critical care qualification with intensive ICU clinical training, while M.Sc. Nursing covers broader academic specializations including research and teaching preparation.
Graduates pursue ICU nurse practitioner, critical care specialist, and emergency/trauma nursing roles in hospital critical care and emergency departments.
Admission is based on B.Sc. Nursing marks and registration status, followed by document verification and counselling through the university's admission portal.
