Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) has opened admissions for its Post Basic Bachelor of Science (BSc) Nursing program for the upcoming January 2026 session. The application window is currently active, with interested candidates encouraged to apply online.
The registration portal, ignounursing.samarth.edu.in, will accept applications until March 5, 2026. This program is designed for in-service nurses seeking to enhance their qualifications and expand their professional scope.
To be eligible, applicants must hold Registered Nurse and Registered Midwife (RNRM) status. Those with 10+2 and a three-year General Nursing and Midwifery (GNM) diploma need at least two years of post-registration experience. Alternatively, candidates with matriculation and a three-year GNM diploma must possess a minimum of five years of professional experience after RNRM registration.
Male nurses who did not complete midwifery training during their GNM can fulfill this requirement with a certificate from an approved nursing course. The application process involves online registration, form completion, document upload, and fee payment. Successful candidates can pursue career advancement in areas like clinical supervision and health services management through this distance learning program.
