Super Specialty Training

Training and examination rules for DM, MCh and DrNB — course lists, thesis and logbook, leave, and what the final examination requires.

DM and MCh courses in medical colleges and institutions follow the National Medical Commission’s Post-Graduate Medical Education Regulations, 2023 — the same regulations as MD and MS, with a few differences. DrNB courses in NBEMS-accredited hospitals follow the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences. Each has its own page below.
