Overview
The M.Sc Nursing (OBG) programme at Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Institute of Nursing is a two-year postgraduate course built to provide advanced education and specialized skills in women’s health, maternal and child health, reproductive health, and gynecological nursing.
Students are trained in advanced nursing practice, obstetric care during pregnancy, labour and delivery, postnatal care, gynecological nursing, newborn care, family welfare, maternal & child health, midwifery, and may also study aspects of public health, community health as related to maternal care. This includes both theory and significant clinical exposure — practical training in affiliated teaching hospitals attached to the institute.
The curriculum aligns with standards set by RGUHS and national nursing guidelines; it also includes research methodology and statistics, enabling students to undertake dissertations or research projects—preparing them for roles as advanced clinical practitioners, educators, researchers, or administrators in maternal & women’s health sectors.
Annual intake is limited (5 students), ensuring small batch size for personalized and intensive training.
