What is NBEMS?
In 1975, the Government of India established the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS), intending to improve the quality of medical education by establishing high and uniform standards of postgraduate examinations in modern medicine across India and leveraging existing infrastructure for capacity building. NBEMS currently conducts postgraduate and postdoctoral examinations in authorised specialities, leading to the awards of Diplomate of National Board (DNB) and Doctorate of National Board (DrNB), respectively. The basic purpose of NBEMS was to solve the issue of a consistent standard of medical education across the country.
