DNB is EQUAL to MD /MS ! ONCE MORE !!


  • The National Board of Examinations (NBE) was established in 1975.
  • The NBE became an independent autonomous body under the health and family welfare ministry in 1982. The Board has a system of accreditation of hospitals and institutions.
  • the proposal of the Medical Council of India to allow doctors with a degree from the Diplomate of National Board (DNB) to teach in medical colleges was approved by the health ministry .
  • Every year, there are about 25,000 medical graduates, of whom 9,000 obtain MCI-approved post-graduate degrees and about 3,000 qualify with DNB degrees.
  • The ministry decision will open doors for these 3,000 professionals for joining medical education as the country grapples with shortage of medical faculty

What is your opinion about why DNB was downgraded in the first place?

usually CLINICAL SKILL TRAINING OF Both DNB and traditional PG are same. but lacking of academic atmosphere and teaching modules under the guidance of HOD making DNB some what out of traditional ambit.
there is a urgent need to revamp the curriculum of DNB courses and conduction of exams,most preferably through national level 'exit test' are the need of the hour.
