Hello,

Yes, you can apply for the DNB PDCET after completing your PGDMCH from IGNOU and pursue a secondary DNB in the same specialty. The Post Diploma DNB course is 2 years long, and you will be eligible to apply for the exam after your final diploma exam results are declared on or before the cut-off date for that admission session.

I hope it will clear your query!!

Hello,

IGNOU’s PGDMCH diploma is not recognized by NMC for specialist qualifications. Because of this, NBEMS does not accept PGDMCH as a valid feeder diploma for DNB-PDCET .

For DNB-PDCET (Post Diploma) and for Secondary DNB , your diploma must be an NMC-recognized PG diploma in the relevant specialty. Since PGDMCH from IGNOU is not recognized in that category, you cannot apply for DNB-PDCET or do Secondary DNB on the basis of this diploma.

If you want to pursue DNB later, you will need either:

• a recognized PG diploma in the respective specialty, or

• you must appear for NEET-PG and enter through the regular DNB route.

Hope it helps !
