SGT University Gurgaon M.Sc Medical Surgical Nursing: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. No, SGT University does not require any national-level entrance exam such as NEET-PG for admission to the M.Sc. (Medical Surgical Nursing) programme. Admission is based on merit in the qualifying B.Sc. Nursing degree (minimum 55% aggregate) and a Personal Interview (PI) conducted by the university. The PI can be attended online via Zoom or in person on campus. Candidates with higher academic scores and relevant work experience are given preference during the selection process.

Ans. As per the Indian Nursing Council (INC) norms followed by SGT University, candidates must have a minimum of one year of work experience. This experience can be either after completing B.Sc. Nursing, or prior to or after completing Post Basic B.Sc. Nursing. So if you completed your Post Basic B.Sc. Nursing and had work experience before that programme, it still counts. The key requirement is that the experience must be in a clinical nursing setting and verifiable through a certificate from the employer.

Ans. These are two distinct programmes. The M.Sc. (Medical Surgical Nursing) is a 2-year specialisation focused on advanced nursing care for patients with acute and chronic medical and surgical conditions, covering areas like pre-operative and post-operative care, wound management, and clinical decision-making. The M.Sc. (Nurse Practitioner in Critical Care) is a separate programme with a different fee structure (Rs. 2,00,000 per annum) and is specifically designed for nurses who want to work in ICU and critical care settings. If your interest is in general surgical wards and medical units rather than intensive care, the Medical Surgical Nursing specialisation is more appropriate.

Ans. Graduates of this programme can pursue roles such as Clinical Nurse Specialist in medical-surgical units, Nurse Educator in nursing colleges, Ward In-charge or Nursing Supervisor in hospitals, Research Associate in clinical research organisations, and Quality Assurance Nurse in healthcare institutions. The SGT Hospital on campus provides a strong clinical network, and the university's placement cell assists students in finding positions. Many graduates also go on to pursue Ph.D. in Nursing or apply for faculty positions in nursing colleges, as an M.Sc. Nursing degree is the minimum qualification required to teach in INC-approved nursing institutions.

Ans. Hostel accommodation is not mandatory for M.Sc. Nursing students at SGT University. Students can choose to stay in the on-campus hostel or commute from outside. The university offers separate hostels for boys and girls with options for two-sharing, three-sharing, and four-sharing rooms, both in AC and non-AC variants. The hostel fee ranges from Rs. 97,000 to Rs. 1,54,000 per annum depending on the room type and AC preference. Meals are charged separately. Students who opt for hostel accommodation should factor in these costs in addition to the tuition fee.

Ans. Unfortunately, the PG merit scholarship at the time of admission at SGT University requires a minimum of 70% in the qualifying degree to be eligible for a 25% tuition fee waiver. If you scored exactly 75%, you fall in the 70%-79.99% bracket and would be eligible for a 25% tuition fee waiver (12.5% in Year 1 and 12.5% in Year 2). However, once enrolled, you can also apply for the Meritorious Student Scholarship for subsequent years if you score 75% or above in your first-year examinations with all subjects cleared in the first attempt and maintain 80% attendance. This gives you an additional 25% tuition fee concession for the second year.
