P.G. Studies - An Alternate Path
National Board of Examinations, New Delhi-110 029

The facilities for post-graduates studies in broad specialties, as well as in super specialties in the regular MD/MS/Diploma programmes are inadequate to satisfy the aspirants. An alternate path (popularly known as Dip. N.B.) is being offered by the National Board of Examination, which is an autonomous body under the Central Ministry of health and family welfare. The Board has been established primarily to conduct postgraduate and higher examinations in various disciplines of medical sciences of high and uniform standard at the national level. Successful candidates are awarded "Diplomate of National Board" which is recognised as equivalent to post-graduate (MD/MS in broad specialties) and post doctoral (DM/MCh in higher specialties) degree qualifications of Indian universities and included in the First Schedule of the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956.

The examination of the Board is held in two parts - Primary and Final - usually during the first week of August.
a.) Broad Specialties : Pathology, General Medicine, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, Anaesthesiology, Radio-diagnosis Radio-therapy, Dermatology and Venereology, Respiratory diseases, Nuclear Medicine, General Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Ophthalmology, Orthopedic Surgery, Otorhinolaryngology, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Social and Preventive Medicine, Maternal and Child Health Administration including Hospital Administration and Family Medicine.

b.) Super Specialties: Cardiology, Endocrinology, Gastroenterology Nephrology, Neurology, Plastic Surgery, Pediatric Surgery, Neurosurgery, Genito Urinary surgery, Cardio thoracic surgery and Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics.

c.) Subjects under direct 5-year course after internship: Neurosurgery, Pediatrics surgery, Plastic surgery.

Primary Examination:
There will be a common primary examination for all the broad specialties and for the three direct 5-year courses. Candidates who have completed/or will be completing their internship by 31st July are eligible to take the primary examination during the year. The examination will be of MBBS standard.
