SGT University M.Sc OGN FAQs
Ques. Is work experience mandatory for M.Sc Obstetrics & Gynaecology Nursing admission at SGT University, and what counts as valid experience?
Ans. Yes, work experience is mandatory. Candidates must have a minimum of one year of work experience after completing B.Sc Nursing, or one year of experience prior to or after completing Post Basic B.Sc Nursing. Valid experience includes employment as a staff nurse in a hospital, nursing home, or healthcare institution. A formal work experience certificate on the organisation's letterhead is required at the time of document verification. Voluntary or informal work may not be accepted.
Ques. What is the difference between M.Sc Nursing (Obstetrics & Gynaecology Nursing) and M.S. (Obstetrics & Gynecology) at SGT University?
Ans. These are two entirely different programmes. M.Sc Nursing (Obstetrics & Gynaecology Nursing) is a nursing postgraduate degree for registered nurses (B.Sc Nursing graduates) and focuses on advanced nursing care in obstetrics and gynaecology. M.S. (Obstetrics & Gynecology) is a medical postgraduate degree for MBBS doctors and focuses on surgical and clinical management of obstetric and gynaecological conditions. The eligibility, curriculum, career outcomes, and fees are completely different.
Ques. What clinical exposure will I get during the M.Sc Obstetrics & Gynaecology Nursing programme at SGT University?
Ans. SGT University has a 1000+ bed teaching hospital (SGT Hospital) on campus, which includes dedicated obstetrics and gynaecology wards, labour rooms, operation theatres, and neonatal ICUs. Students get direct clinical postings in these departments as part of their curriculum. Additionally, the National Reference Simulation Centre (NRSC) on campus provides simulation-based training for obstetric emergencies, neonatal resuscitation, and other high-risk scenarios, which is a significant advantage for skill development.
Ques. After completing M.Sc Obstetrics & Gynaecology Nursing from SGT University, what are the career options?
Ans. Graduates can pursue careers as Clinical Nurse Specialists in obstetrics and gynaecology departments of hospitals, Nurse Educators in nursing colleges (teaching B.Sc Nursing students), Nurse Practitioners in maternal and child health programmes, and researchers in nursing and women's health. Many graduates also work in government hospitals, private multispecialty hospitals, and maternal health NGOs. With the growing demand for skilled obstetric nurses in India and abroad (especially in the Middle East, UK, and Australia), career prospects are strong.
Ques. Is hostel accommodation available for M.Sc Nursing students at SGT University, and is it mandatory?
Ans. Hostel accommodation is available on campus for both boys and girls, but it is not mandatory. Students can choose to stay in the hostel or commute from their own residence. The hostel offers three sharing options: Twin Sharing (Rs. 2,00,000 per year), Three Sharing (Rs. 1,80,000 per year), and Four Sharing (Rs. 1,40,000 per year). All hostel fees include mess charges (meals). The hostel fee must be paid on a yearly basis; instalment payment is not available.
Ques. Can I apply for M.Sc Obstetrics & Gynaecology Nursing at SGT University if I completed my B.Sc Nursing from a different university?
Ans. Yes, candidates who completed their B.Sc Nursing from any recognised university (not just SGT University) are eligible to apply, provided they meet the minimum eligibility criteria of 55% aggregate marks and one year of work experience. However, students who completed their qualifying degree from SGT University are eligible for an additional 5% scholarship over and above the applicable merit scholarship slab, which is an added benefit for SGT alumni.
