Overview
The DNB programme is a prestigious and recognised specialist medical training qualification in India, awarded by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS). It offers structured residency-based training in accredited hospitals across India, allowing graduates to gain exposure to clinical work, surgeries, diagnostics, research, teaching, and academic rounds. The training emphasises hands-on experience, case-based learning, seminars, journal clubs, thesis/dissertation, and a final exit examination. On successful completion, graduates are awarded the DNB qualification, which is equivalent to MD/MS (and in super-speciality cases, equivalent to DM/MCh) for employment, teaching, and clinical practice. Medical colleges emphasise that the DNB route provides an option beyond traditional university-affiliated postgraduate degrees, and can be undertaken in both government and private accredited hospitals. Institutional infrastructure, patient load, supervision quality, and accreditation status play a crucial role in the effectiveness of training.
