A Bhaskar Rao design is obtained from the incidence matrix of a partially balanced incomplete block design with m associate classes by negating some elements of the matrix in such a way that the inner product of rows α and β is ci if α and β are ith associates. In this paper we use nested designs constructed from unions of cyclotomic classes to give Bhaskar Rao designs.
