Hello aspirant,

The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) grants two-year postgraduate medical degrees to graduates of specialized training programs, frequently in fields like obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, or anesthesiology.  After earning the diploma, you can work in government or private institutions, practice medicine in that specialization, and possibly even take the PD set test or pursue additional schooling like a two-year MD/MS.

Thank you

Hey there,

The NBEMS Diploma is a postgraduate medical diploma by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences , under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India.

This diploma is a 2-year program for the MBBS graduates who want to specialize in obstetrics and gynaecology, paediatrics, Anaesthesiology, Radiodiagnosis, Family Medicine, and many more clinical subjects.

To pursue this, you have to clear NEET-PG as admissions are based on your NEET-PG rank, and diploma is offered through NBE-accredited hospitals.

You have multiple career options after completing the diploma, like you can practice as a specialist in your diploma subject. You can appear for Post post-diploma.

You also become eligible for specialist posts in Government and private hospitals. You are also go for the teaching faculty positions in medical colleges.

Hope it helps!!!

Hello,

NBEMS Diploma is a 2-year PG course for MBBS graduates offered by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences. It’s a good option if you don’t get MD/MS. You can work as a specialist doctor after it or appear for the Post Diploma DNB (PDCET) to upgrade your qualification to DNB, which is equivalent to MD/MS.

Hope you understand.
