It is mandatory for DNB/DrNB trainees who are eligible to appear in a forthcoming DNB/DrNB Final Theory Examination to submit their Theses for Assessment at least six months prior to the Examination.
Meanwhile, NBE had been receiving numerous requests both from trainees and Accredited Institutions to extend the last date for submission of Thesis, as trainees have not been able to complete their Thesis-writing due to the COVID-19 lockdown restrictions.
In the light of the above, and due to COVID-19 pandemic, the last date for submission of Thesis by DNB/DrNB trainees who are eligible to appear in the DNB/DrNB Final Theory Examination - December 2021 Session, is extended by a period of three months, i.e., till the 30th of September, 2021, as a 'Special Case'.

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 postgraduate 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 the apex medical regulator, there are 450 accredited institutions imparting training in various Broad and Super specialities for the award of a 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.
