ABOUT US |
|
The
National Board of Examinations was established
in 1975 with the prime objective of improving
the quality of the Medical Education by
elevating the level and establishing standards
of post graduate examinations in modern
medicine on an all India basis. There are
more than 149 recognized Medical Colleges
in the country. In addition to Postgraduate
teaching institutions under MCI, there are
450 accredited institutions imparting training
in various Broad and Super specialities
for the award of postgraduate qualification
in Broad and super specialities. The Board
at present conducts postgraduate and postdoctoral
examinations in 54 disciplines approved
by the Board for the award of Diplomate
of National Board. The Medical Council of
India has laid down standards for post graduate
examinations conducted by various medical
colleges and affiliated to concerned universities
and other institutions, yet the levels of
proficiency and standards of evaluation
vary considerably in these institutions.
The setting up of a National Body to conduct
post graduate medical examination was intended
to provide a common standard and mechanism
of evaluation of minimum level of attainment
of the objective for which post graduate
courses were started in medical institutions.
Moreover, intra country and international
comparison is facilitated with the availability
of commonly accepted evaluation mechanism. |
