New Delhi- A notice has been issued by the National Board of Examination in Medical Sciences (NBEMS), New Delhi informing about the extension of the last date for submission of self-appraisal for registration with NBEMS as trainees for the 2023 admission session.

The aim behind introducing a self-appraisal is to provide NBEMS courses to the candidates who are seeking registration with NBEMS as Trainees.

This self-appraisal will help in determining the eligibility of the candidates for registration with NBEMS as trainees after joining the allotted NBEMS-recognised institutions through centralised merit-based counselling. It will be available for those candidates who have successfully joined the NBEMS course after the 2023 admission session.

As per the official notice, “The eligibility of candidates for said NBEMS programme is determined based on prescribed criteria in the information bulletin for respective entrance examinations. On successfully meeting the criteria and submitting the self-appraisal with prescribed documents to NBEMS through the training institutions, candidates get registered with NBEMS as trainees. A letter to this effect in the form of a “Letter of Provisional Registration” shall be available for download on a real-time basis on successful completion of self-appraisal by the trainee & respective training institution”.
