Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the difference between MD and DNB?

MD is a postgraduate degree awarded by universities under NMC, while DNB (Diplomate of National Board) is awarded by the National Board of Examinations. Both are equivalent for jobs and further specializations.

2. Is the NEXT exam mandatory for MD admission in 2026?

As per the latest NMC roadmap, the National Exit Test (NEXT) is scheduled to replace NEET-PG as the common entrance exam for post-graduate medical courses. Our counselors stay updated on the latest transition dates.

3. Can I pursue an MD abroad?

Yes, but to practice in India, you must ensure the degree is from a country recognized by NMC and you may need to clear the FMGE/NEXT examination upon return.

4. How do I choose between clinical and non-clinical branches?

Clinical branches involve direct patient care (Medicine, Peds), while non-clinical/para-clinical branches focus on diagnostics and research (Anatomy, Pathology). Your choice should depend on your clinical interest and long-term career goals.

5. What is the stipend for MD students in India?

Stipends vary significantly by state and type of institute (Government vs. Private). Generally, Government medical colleges offer higher stipends, ranging from ₹50,000 to ₹1,00,000 per month depending on the state.
