Diplomate National Board (Psychiatry) — Final Examination
The DNB (Psychiatry) Final Examination is NBEMS’s postgraduate broad-specialty exit examination, not an entrance test. The June 2026 bulletin describes four theory papers and, after theory qualification, a practical examination comprising OSCE and/or Clinical Examination, and Viva. Use that bulletin as a June 2026 reference and check NBEMS session materials for later requirements.
