Sub: NBE qualifications awarded by the National Board of Examinations - Equivalence of.

Sir,

I am directed to say that medical qualification awarded by the National Board of Examinations are included in the First Schedule to the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956 and are considered at par with other postgraduate medical qualifications of the Indian Universities. However, it has been brought to our notice that employing organisations are not recognising these degrees at par with MD/MS degrees of other universities. As the National Board of Examination, an autonomous body directly under the control of the Central Govt, is keeping high standard of medical examinations and it is requested that all concerned may please be instructed to give - NBE qualifications and treat them at par with MD/MS of Indian Universities for all posts including teaching post.

The Medical Council of India while considering the question of equivalence of MAMS/MNAMS/Dip. N.B. qualifications awarded by the National Board of Examinations with MD/MS and DM/MCh qualifications granted by the University/Medical institutions, has adopted the following recommendation, which was circulated to all the authorities concerned by the Council on 6.12.93 for information and necessary guidance:-

"It is recommended that for teaching appointments in the broad specialties the holder of Diplomate NBE should have at lest 1 year teaching experience as a Tutor/Registrar/Demonstrator or equivalent post in a recognised medical college imparting undergraduate teaching and training for appointment as Lecturer. Regarding the candidates holding Diplomate NBE in super-specialty subjects, the training shall be for 2 years in a recognised medical college having recognised postgraduate medical degree in the concerned specialty for appointments as a Lecturer."

It is requested that the above may please be brought to the notice of all recruiting agencies under your control for information and compliance.

Yours faithfully
