After a lot of hard work to clear PG medical entrance exams, students have to face another hurdle after getting a good rank. That hurdle is to choose a good PG specialty branch. Nowadays after doing MD/MS, it has become almost a necessity to do DM/M.Ch as PG seats are increasing every year and so is the competition.
I am enlisting here the MD/MS courses by doing which the students could get into the respective DM/M.Ch courses.
Different States and institutes have different criteria on which super-specialty courses can be done by doing which MD/MS courses. 90% of these criteria are the same in all institutes or states so students have to manually check their respective states of allowed super-specialty courses.
More important than State and Institute rules are MCI Regulations. It mentions all details of all DM/ M. Ch courses and prerequisite MD/ MD courses for a candidate to be eligible for super specialty courses.
The following are MD courses which are the prerequisite for DM courses according to MCI PG Medical Regulation 2000 (click here for pdf).
Hello Sir! Thank you very much for providing this useful information. I have asked around and some students doing M.D. Microbiology at civil hospital have told me that one can’t do MD Endocrinology or MD Immunology after Md Biochemistry. Is there any other way to confirm your article sir? Please acknowledge.. Thank you very much.
MCI regulations mentioned in the article are recommendations by MCI but it depend on the institute/ state eligibility criteria’s in the end. Earlier Maharashtra state used to allow MD Biochemistry candidates to be eligible for DM Endocrinology but now it has been changed to DM Clinical Haematology according to MH-SSET 2014 information brochure. You can find it here. So you have to check for latest and individual institute/ state eligibility criteria’s for Superspeciality courses.
Beg your pardon , sir but u have mentioned MS(radiotherapy) is eligible to do DM medical oncology as super speciality. Is not it MD(radiation oncology)….confused. please acknowledge…..thank you.
Thank you for pointing it out but the table mentioned in the text is taken directly from the MCI website where it is mentioned as MS Radiotherapy. But as per NEET SS brochures, it is MD Radiation Oncology.
Hello sir, great information.
Sir actually even in the NEET SS BROCHURE there is only a mention of DM medical oncology after doing MD radiotherapy.
Sir can you please elaborate on how to pursue DM Radiation oncology post doing MD radiotherapy
Rules keep on changing. So what is mentioned in the latest NEET brochure is what you have to follow.
Hello, Can I do DM critical care after MD emergency medicine? What do the latest guidelines say?
Yes. According to NEET-SS 2020 information brochure, you can do DM Critical care after MD emergency medicine
Sir what about DNB emergency medicine..? Can I do DM critical care?
Yes. MD and DNB are equivalent courses.
Sir. I am doing MD in community medicine , is there any super speciality for which I can go with this branch other than DM genetics. Plzz rply
No. There is none.
Dear Hardik, You can also do DM with MD Microbiology, I can offer you the links , the best chance is BHU which mentions that MD mircobiology is also eligible for DM endocrinology, see this : http://bhu.ac.in/admission/admission2013-14/DM-MCh-13.pdf
Also there are other references which you can use to pursue
DM endocrinology , there are colleges allowing Biochem MD’s :

Sir why PGI Chandigarh doesn’t allow MD biochemistry as eligible candidate for DM Clininal Hematology when MCI allows it? This is unjust.
Hi m DNB Microbiology, do we have any DM courses in India and Abroad
Sir, what are the benefits of doing DNB FNB in laboratory medicine. I have done MD biochemistry
sir, DNB cet ss eligibilty criteria says md /dnb medicine on pathology for DM clinical hematology . what does this mean? Im a MD pathology degree holder. can i apply or not? if yes then syllabus is that of general medicine, basic sciences and recent advances? PLEASE CLARIFY.
other options (universities/ colleges) for dm clinical hematology after md pathology also may be guided.. other entrances too.
Hi sir can u plz conform any chance for dm for the md biochemistry .present
If its there let me know the details plz.
As of now there is no chance.
Sir I’m joining MD chest medicine this year air and my aim is DM CARDIOLOGY and so will MCI remove EM cardioligy for ME chest medicine soon?
What will MCI do in the future is unpredictable. But I do not see it being done in the coming years.
Sir can I do dm cardiology after md gereatric medicine
No.
Hello sir…
Now from 2019 dm/dnb gastro is possible after md paediatric
Sir please clarify the DM course after MD physiology and which college…. Thank you
None.
hello sir,,,nice info….
May i know a DNB candiate elligible for writing DM enterncae.,,,,please clerify….
As per maharastyra DM enternece criteria–>”The candidate must possess recognized postgraduate degree MD/MS or its equivalent from a medical college recognized by MCI”……………….i agree DNb is equivalent bt nowhere it is being done from medical college………….here in criteria they have asked eqivalent degree from medical college………………..
plz clrify,,,thanks
Yes, it is possible to appear for DM entrance exams with DNB degree. It depends on the institute/ university criteria.
Can someone eligible for dm in cardiology after having secondary DNB
No. Only MD candidates are eligible.
SIR AFTER MD COMMUNITY MEDICINE, IS THERE ANY CLINICAL DM SUBJECTS THAT CAN BE DONE?
No.
sir i have a doubt ,after md community medicine can we do DM medical genetics,,are we eligible for DM infectious disease
According to MCI rule, any MD can do DM medical genetics. But only institute in India offering that course is SGPGMI and it only allows selected MD like Medicine and pediatrics to do it.
Community medicine people cannot do DM infectious disease.
What else Superspecility course available after secondary DNB in pediatrics
Hello sir..now persuing pd paediatric..
Can i appear for dm adult gastro…as mci remove paedia from gastro eligibility list
Sir I have checked net for options post my MD microbiology I haven’t found anything kindly suggest something I m interested to do something that is clinically oriented thanking you – Dr. Kalpana jaju
You can consider DM Medical Genetics course. http://www.sgpgi.ac.in/academic/eligibility.html
Dr Kalpana, You can check this mci search , you can highlight any college in India and any course, it will show you the eligibility for each college
http://www.mciindia.org/InformationDesk/ForStudents/ListofCollegesTeachingPGCourses.aspx
– Dr Sharath Chandra
Sir so after medical genetics what are the career options
In India right now there are not major career opportunities for Medical Genetics but in future is bound to play a big role and high demand. You can also open a Genetic counseling clinic which is gaining some interest of people in India.
Can I do any other clinical subject
I don’t think any clinical DM courses can be done after MD Microbiology, at-least none that I know of.
Am I eligible for any clinical branches after doing MD transfusion medicine
No.
ok .. Thank u sir , can u kindly tell me the list of exams that I am eligible for , in order to try for DM genetics after MD transfusion medicine
Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences, Lucknow is the only institute in India to offer DM Medical Genetics course. All MD doctors are eligible for that course.
Sir i have heart that there is DM course now after MD community medicine too…is it true??
Sir can I write cet again n b eligible for any diploma at least
That way you can even do MD of any specialty by cracking AIPGMEE or any state level exam. There is no such bar that you can’t do MD/ MS after doing PG from a specialty.
K thank u sir that wz exactly what I wanted to know because I had heard that once u finish MD u can’t do any other MD .your information was very useful for me
Is there any age limit sir to write the cet
No. There is not age limit mentioned in AIPGMEE prospectus.
Is there an age limit for dm neonatology exam?
In MH SSET there is no age limit but in AIIMS Superspecialty entrance test there is age limit of 35 years for General category students.
Thank You Dr Paresh Kohli for the Thread !
Kalpana, You have multiple options with Microbiology in India and Abroad , it depends on what you love to do ,
you can also write cet again and choose a different specialization as Dr Kohli said.
Regarding Microbiology, You have multiple choices to work at a job or setup a business or superspecialize.
Immunology is one field which you can pursue DM here.
By work or job I mean, you are eligible to be a Fellow after MD Microbiology and Pursue Fellowship .
Apart from that, there are multiple options if you are open for abroad :
Clinical immunology, haematology, Post Doctoral Fellowship in Neuroinfection,
Microbiology Fellowship Program usa – doctoral and post doctoral , Make google searches
on these terms and you can get to see different options,
See these links and the eligibility :

Apologize for one mistake about the BHU DM endocrinology eligibility link on above comment on feb 22nd, It should be read as MD Biochemistry , I mentioned as MD Micro, by mistake, the rest are same … The prospectus reads : For the DM (endocrinology) MD/DNB in Biochemistry candidates are also eligible , Thank You
Hi myself Dr SHAILESH BARPHE. Did MD pulmonary medicine want to do DM cardiology. Why only maharashtra allows MD pulmonary medicine for Dm Cardio n why not other exams??? B coz Mic rule states that MD pulmonary medicine is eligible for DM Cardio. Pls send me any links of exams where I can opt for DM Cardio with MD pulmonary Med.
It is upto decision of individual institutes/ states to allow specialities for DM/ M.Ch courses. I will check if I could find any exam which allows such thing.
Sir but for haematology v need to b MD pathology na? Then how can I …
Well eligibility criterias of MH-SSET mention that MD Biochemistry are also allowed for DM Hematology.
Dear Dr Shailesh,
You are eligible for DM Cardiology, You can check various places through
MCI Search :
http://www.mciindia.org/InformationDesk/ForStudents/ListofCollegesTeachingPGCourses.aspx
Different States and eligibility criteria varies and they may ask under a different name : They may ask eligibility as Critical Care or Respiratory medicine or Pulmonary Medicine or Pulmology etc, You have a lucrative career !

sir i got 51.48 and i am mbc. Will i be qualified for counselling, if yes then what course will i get???????
51.48 what and in which exam?
Very helpful article sir…but I would like to point out that DNB candidates are eligible for DM….reference is from AIIMS and Kerala super speciality prospectus
Yes, thank you for pointing that out but it only applies to those specific exams. For example MH-SSET information brochure mentions no such thin that DNB candidates are eligible for DM/ MCh.
I think it’s d other way round…Even Jipmer and CMC vellore have clearly stated that DNB students are eligible for superspeciality…the same with Tamilnadu MGR university and Delhi university
Ok. Again Thank you for correcting me.
Sir so in mh-sset dnb candidate eligible or not
Sir

hello sir..after completing md anesthesia i want to do fellowship or dm in critical care medicine..what is the procedure for applying for ccm? where is it available? what are the salary packages after doing fellowship in ccm?
Application procedures are institute specific, so you have to check individual institute exam details. I have heard people earning about 1.5 lakhs per month on average with couple of years of experience. And perks from Pharma cos are extra, which makes quite a lot of earning for ICU people.
Sir M doing MD anaesthesiology i wud like to pursue DM critical care and this course i in selected institutes like SGPGI,St.Johns can you tell from where to start from to prepare as m not able to know mwans whether to start for all medical subjects or only MEDICINE Mcqs is sufficient?????

After Md radiotherapy where it is not allowed for DM oncology
You have to individually check all exams Information brochures for that. I don’t have that data.
sir,what is the age limit for DM in medical superspeciality course
Depends on the exam but AIIMS Upper Age limit is 35 years, Upper age limit is relaxable in case of SC/ST candidates by a maximum of 5 year, OBC Candidates by a maximum of 3 years and The upper age limit is not applicable to sponsored candidates.
Respected Sir, can you please tell if any superspecialisation can be done after DNB Pathology? I have DNB counseling on 31. Thanks
sir after M.D. pathology what are further aspects, i dont want to b a paraclinician all my life i want to do something more. please help
You can do MRCP if you want to practice medicine after MD phathology.
Sir, I’m from Andhra pradesh, I’m doing Diploma(pumlonology) in medical college, do I have any chance to do DM Cardiology ? I’m planning to do post diploma (respiratory medicine) in DNB, after that, can I do DM cardiology ? Please give me clarity sir. Thanx in advance.
I don’t know specifically whether secondary DNB candidates are allowed for DM courses. You have to ask personally to respective officials.
Sir right now I m doing MD in pathology ,but I m interested in clinical side , am I eligible for writing entrance after my MD? ..becoz most of them r telling I m not eligible..can u please tell me whether I m eligible or not,and post few links supporting the same
sir i am pursuing my md degree in medicine and i want to prepare for my dm examinations from now only …kindly guide me about the upcoming branches in which competition is less and practice is gud i mean financially..and also guide me about the study material fo DM examinations…
what are the future prospectus for DM oncology?
please guide sir ..
Study material for DM entrance exams are same as that of PG medical entrance exams and only difference being that DM entrance exams are comparatively easier to crack as they have difficulty level lower than MD exams. Few other reasons are also involved like residents do not get enough time to study and many people do not even give these exams.
Now coming to branches, nowadays there is competition in everything. Medical Oncology is something which has high future prospects as oncology is something which is far from saturated when it comes to treatment or even development of new drugs for that matter.
sir i am doing MD Medicine and this is my second year i want to prepare for my dm examinations .. kindly guide me about the study material and the upcoming branches in wchich the competition is less and practice is gud..
please guide about the future prospectus of medical oncology….
Sir I m in my final yr MD micro n want to prepare for DM immunology from now itself kindly guide me how I should proceed n what I should read for that
You should start reading subject-wise books which I have mentioned in a article on this site itself. There is no separate preparation strategy for DM entrance exams as questions are very much similar only difference being that exam is a bit on easier side.
Sir , did u mean v have to read all the ug subjects for DM exam I didn’t get you could u plz post the instructions for DM prepn again
Yes you have to study all the UG subjects just like preparation for AIPGMEE but main weightage is of the subject of your specialty. For example in MH-SSET 100 marks weightage is for all subjects included for MBBS course and 50 marks are for respective specialties like Medicine, Paediatrics, Surgery, Pathology, Pharmacology, Biochemistry, Resp. Medicine and Anesthesia. So a Pharmacologist will get 50 marks questions from Pharmacology subject and 100 marks from all the subjects included for MBBS course.
Sir what are the areas for superspecialisation after ms ophthalmology?
nice site sir
Thank you for appreciation.
sir i m from maharashtra i got md biochemistry in pgmcet 1st round i have option among md biochemistry ; md pharmac ; md psm ;md micro n dcp.sir i m confused which br s better to choose..kindly guide me..
If you want a totally non-clinical subject and want to work in Pharma industry then Phamac is a good option. Otherwise I would say DCP should be a choice if you have interest in Patho.
thank u sir.sir s secondary dnb after dcp s difficult to pass.passing rate are low.actualy i m interested in patho but after dcp i m confused about its scope in practice.kindly give ur opinion.
If you are interested in Pathology then DCP should be your option. Don’t think too much about passing rate of DNB right now. It is better to wait for couple of years to pass the subject which you like rather than doing something which you don’t like. After DCP you can get SR posts in Govt. hospitals or you can open your own patho lab if you are willing to invest. Also there are few opportunities in which DCP people also get hired in patho labs if they have enough experience.
thank u sir..
SIR
I AM COMPLTED PG IN RESPIRATORY MEDICINE
I WANT TO GO FOR INTERVENTIONAL PULMONARY MEDICINE FELLOWSHIP
PLEASE HELP
I am getting following degrees courses eye,ent,surgery, radiotherapy, anesthesia,psychiatry& all diplomas except dmrd.unfortunately no subject is of my choice.i want to m.d medicine or dermatology. What should I do ?can I go for diploma in skin
Well if dermatology is the subject of your choice and you do not have interest in any other subject then it is better to go for Diploma of Dermatology only. You can always do secondary DNB after that if you want.
Sir after such a secondary dnb can we go for above mention superspecialization
Yes
sir, what are the scopes after doing dnb psychiatry,,,any superspecialty after it dm or other, job prospectus and salaries at different fields?
Psychiatry is one the few branches in which along with the practice of the speciality i.e. psychiatry in this case you also have to do General practice to earn good money, Unless you become a very good and famous psychiatrist. Still in India people count going to a psychiatrist as a taboo.
I don’t know about the salaries in private hospitals.
Doctor of Medicine (DM) (Geriatric Mental Health) at ‘King George Medical University’, Lucknow (http://www.kgmu.org/dept_geriatric.php) and DM (Child and Adolescent Psychiatry) at ‘National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences’ (NIMHANS), Bangalore (http://www.nimhans.kar.nic.in/cap/default.htm) for candidates of MD/DNB psychiatry. Other awaiting super-specialty psychiatry course is DM (Addiction Medicine) at ‘National Drug Dependence Treatment Centre’ of ‘All India Institute of Medical Sciences’, New Delhi and ‘Centre for Addiction Medicine’, NIMHANS, Bangalore.
can a dnb holder eligible for dm at nimhans or aiims or kgmu
Their inclusion criterias do say “MD or equivalent degree” which DNB is. But I don’t know whether any DNB candidate has got admission in these institutes or not.
Very useful site..interesting discussion topics :)
sir,
i am doing MD Pharmacology..i am interested in doing DM Clinical Pharmacology..can you suggest me how to prepare for it?it will be a great help,
Prepration strategy for DM entrance exams is similar to AIPGMEE only with only difference being you should concentrate more on your primary subject i.e. Pharmacology in your case. For other subjects you can go for subject wise book I have mentioned in an article on this website only.
Thank you for your reply.sir can you tell me which is a better idea to join an industry or academic? I’m a bit confused..what are the scopes in both?
Sir as AIIMS,allows for Dm infectious diseases for MD Microbiology,then are we eligible for working as a consultant in ID

Books to read for superspeciality entrance exams are same as that of PG medical entrance exams. You can find all the lists of recommended books in the article here.
About transplant anaesthesia I do not have information as none of my contacts are doing it right now. But I will try and get any information if I could.
Sir what about superspecialty in MD radiodiagnosis

I have recently completed my MS degree in obgy….can I pursue fellowships or short courses in UK without giving any exams ???
Sorry, I don’t have any information on that.
Sir,

Yes one can do DM Oncology after DNB radiotherapy. You have to check individual exam/ institute criteria to check the for the same.
Thanks
pls enclose the colleges which provide DM immunology after MD physiology
Hello sir..iam doing md anesthesia and i want to prepare for super speciality entrance exams..what exams can i appear for ? Iam from Karnataka and wanted to hav sum info regarding rguhs ss cet for anesthesia..many thanks
I don’t have a list of all such exams.
Also no info on RGUHS as well. Sorry.
sir,
thank you for all the information provided
i just wanted to verify if there is any state or hospital other than Maharashtra(as mentioned by yourself) to consider MD pathologist for DM Clinical Hematology…
also any link which gives good guidance for the same…..
I have not gone through information brochures of other state/ institutes, so I do not know specific criterias of their respective entrance exams. I gues you have to manually check it.
Sir I m doing MD micro is there any possibility of doing DM infectious diseases
I don’t think any institute in India offers this course as MCI website mentions none.
Sir,AIIMS allows
MD microbiology forDM Infectious diseases.so can’t we practice as ID
Sir after I do a fellowship like neuroinfection can I practice what r the career scopes after doing it. For clinical immunology I think there are only 4 seats available so how should I prepare myself if I want to appear for the exam
Sorry, no idea about future scopes in this field.
Also for preparation you just have to prepare like AIPGMEE with more weightage on your subject. You can also go through respective exams Information brochures for morr details on weightage.
Sir i have done my mbbs from mamc delhi and have just completed my md medicine from lhmc delhi.. i wanted to know if it is possible for me to add dnb medicine degree to my qualifications. That is can i do post-graduate dnb in medicine ? And how to give dnb exam for it.. will i have to just clear theory n practical exam of dnb or give full 3 yr time to d course ? Where to find more details about it.. i tried looking up at d website natboard.edu.in but cud not find anythng relevant to my query.. thanx in advance
Even I am coming across this query for the 1st time only. I don’t think anyone could stop you from doing DNB if you want to. About course duration, I have never heard of a lesser duration course for MD candidates. But you should contact NBE officials for a confirmed answer.
You have to give only the exit exam…don’t need to do the 3yr residency
Sir, is there any seat for DM Infectious disease.?
MCI website does not mention any.
Sir mci has added DM infectious diseases in the list I think but details are not available .if u get any details kindly post it on the site will b thankful to u
If I get any information I will update it for sure.
Sir I have completed my MD Pathology..I have 2 quaries..1. Are there any DM courses apart from Hematopathology? and 2. Any DNB superspeciality course following MD Pathology?
DM Clinical Hematology, DM Immunology and DM Hematopathology are allowed after MD Pathology.
I have completed MD Pathology…I have 2 quarries..1. Are there any DM courses apart from hematopathology? and 2. Is there any DNB superspeciality course following MD Pathology?
Sir if a person is doing two pg courses at two different colleges how will the mci recognise that student when will a pg student name registered with mci if mci çatch that student whats the punishment will be given
I don’t think it is possible to do 2 courses simultaneously as you have to submit original documents for final admission. So this question does not arise at all.
Sir if the candidate gets certificate by managing with the staff in the college (or if the college doesnt take originals)and gets admitted in other college and leave the seat in first college in 6 months
Will there be any list of candidates joining pg in various colleges with mci will it be known to mci immediately after joing in second college
Are there any regulations regarding taking seat in two diff institutes?
Thankinv you sir..
This is illegal. It is not allowed to do 2 courses at once. If caught you are liable to be prosecuted.
I don’t know about the exact punishment which could be given but relly good chances that your registration will be cancelled.
Ok thanq sir for your quick reply
Sir,what are the chances of knowing mci within 6 months in second college
I was thinking mci will recognise pg degree students only after completing course
Sir,is it possible to pursue a second pg in another speciality after a masters in a different one.
Yes you can do PG in another subject but then only PG in 2nd subject will be recognized as your qualification.
Thanks Dr.paresh . but i have a doubt, my super senior has done both paediatrics & general surgery and is practising both successfully .
sir, if possible , can you please show me any such rules that recognizes only second pg as ur qualification, i am doing my surgery residency, am very much interested in medicine
thanking you sir
I have got this information from the sources. I will confirm it from MCI and update the article.
Thank you very much sir
hello sir,

Thank you sir for your prompt reply.

Currently I am interested in doing a fellowship in Medical/Clinical Genetics, but in my knowledge, there is no centre offering such a course to an MD Path. Since you have mentioned the eligibility as “MD/MS in branch”, I would like to know from you if there are any such centres.
Madam, where did you do the diploma from? I have just passed me patho.

Dear Dr Paresh, its indeed a great forum and you are guiding a lot of people.
My name is Rahul and i have done MD in gen medicine from Bangalore, Karnataka.
I belong to UP and i had done my MBBS from Maharashtra. I am planning to appear in subspeciality exams.
I have a few questions to ask you.
1. Is the DM entrance state specific?
2. If it is so, then can you please suggest me what all state exams i can write?
2. What is the acceptable maximum age to appear in DM/DNB subspeciality entrance exam?
3. Does the DNB subspecialty applicant needs to have domicile for that particular state where the “applied for” hospital is located?
4. Can you kindly suggest me a site which gives a comprehensive list of all the hospitals offering DM/DNB in medicine subspecialities?
Sincere thanks and regards.
1. I don’t know about all of them, but as far as I know, any state person can appear for it.
2. You have to check individual state super specialty exam eligibility for that.
3. There is no official maximum age but AIIMS has this 35 years maximum age for open category students.
4. List of DM courses can be found on MCI website here.
Thank you very much Dr Koli. Regards.

Please tell the course with institute name running fellowship/DM/ Phd course run in India after Completion of MD (Physiology).
What is the scope of DA + IDCCM course.How much I can expect to earn after completion of IDCCM. Or is there some other good fellowsip that are better recognized pan india except mci post DA.

My kind appreciation for your activities. If a doctor can do better services knowing complementary subjects with his/ her merits, Its a two way advantage for doctor and patients. It should be allowed by MCI.
sir, thnx for sharing the information and guiding everyone….ms ent people are eligible for mch neurosurgery in AIIMS.
my query is….do u have any idea about whats the process of making a post graduate degree eligible for super-speciality exams…i mean….is it some kind of decision taken by the mci in isolation or are the candidates(ent in above case or pulmonary med pgs being eligible for cardiology) allowed to make a submission.
It is a decision made by MCI only. Students have no role to plat in it.
Sir is ms ortho candidate eligible for mch Plastic surgery according to mci…
AIIMS allows that.
not mch neurosurgery but mch plastic surgery….sorry for wrong information
sir, thanx for sharing the information and guiding everyone……
my query is……do u have any idea about “how a particular post graduate degree (e.g. Ent pgs being allowed to appear in Mch courses) is allowed to be eligible for DM/MCH courses….i mean is this done by mci in isolation or can the candidates make a submission
Sir first of all i would like to congradulate you as well as thank u for creating such a huge forum for all d medicos to discuss and clear our doubts. thank u sir.
SIR thank u so much for creating such a huge discussion forum. sir i did my MD Anatomy , i want to know whT re the DM courses which i can do?and where? is der any fellowship courses which i can do to enter into the clinical side?
DM in Medical Genetics can be done after any MD course, so MD Anatomy person can do it. I have not heard of any fellowship courses after MD Anatomy.
Sir what to do after ms ortho?
And what are the earnings of an orthopaedic surgeon?
Most of the people do fellowships after doing MS Orthopedics. Earning varies, I have seen starting package of poeple from Rs. 50000 and it increases as your experience grows. After this sky is the limit depending on your skills.
What are the types of fellowships?
Also how much is the earning per surgery? Is it combined with the salary or is the doctor’s fee per salary given separately?
Doctor’s fee per surgery i mean
A doctor can either be salaried or can be paid depending on the number of patients seen or operated. It all depends on the hospital/ clinic you are tieing up with. Earning per surgery can go as low as Rs. 2000/ surgery as far as I have heard. As there is too much competition in the healthcare sector nowadays, some surgeons are ready to do surgeries for very less. Upper limit can go in lakhs depending on the type of surgery, hospital and your skills.
Sir , i wanted to know whether i can do degree after diploma Anaesthesiology ? Can we re-appear in Aipg exams after finishing diploma and take up a degree seat in other speciality like surgery or medicine ?
Yes you can do that.
Thanks a lot Sir
sir you have mentioned that md path is not eligible for dnb hemat but in dnb 2015 information bulletin md path is eligible for dnb hemat…kindly clarify this thing sir and regarding syllabus of dnb cet ss medical grp it is basic applied sciences and medicine..so a pathologist should prepare in medicine rather than pathology for the entrance?
If DNB information bulletin says MD pathology is eligible for DNB Hematology then they are eligible. Regarding the syllabus I guess only NBE can clarify about it.

Hi sir
Thank you for such a wonderful post.
I would like to know that after completing MD psychiatry in India, what are the fellowships available abroad ?
For eg. If I would like to do child or geriatric psychiatry fellowship at US, then what is the way for it.
How to apply for it ? What is the procedure to be done ? Is it allowed for Indians to do fellowship or some kind of entrance exams like MLE has to be given?
Kindly throw some light. Thank you
Hello sir,
I want to know way are the options after I complete my study I.e M.D transfusion Medicine..cn I not go into superspecialization for Any subject..kindly reply nd guide…
As of now only DM Medical genetics can be done after any MD. There is no other DM course which can be done after transfusion medicine.
Really great and meaningful thread..
HELLO KOLI SIR…..THANKS for all info….

thanking you
You can find all the details on the website http://www.aiimsexams.org/.
You can also have a look at prospectus for January 2016 session exam.
I have done my mbbs and was trying for a pg seat.But even after 3 repeats my score is not good enough. I have decided to pursue a course in MD patho or MD biochem. But i want to know about job prospects after these. And also what clinical courses can i take after doing MD in either of them.
After MD Biochemistry, DM in Clinical Hematology is allowed in some states like Maharashtra.
after doing pg diploma course in anaesthesiology can a candidate do p.g degree course in surgery in andhra pradesh
Yes you can.
I m doing residency in md medicine whtz d syllabus for dm enyrance exam test n books u prefer
Depends on the exam but the major portion is from the specialty of yours i.e. Medicine and minor from other subjects. Refer information brochures of respective exams for the details.
Sir what all fellowships or superspecialities are available after dnb / ms ophthalmology
There is no super specialty course after MS Ophthalmology. For fellowships you have to check respective institutes websites.
sir, after taking pg seat through AIPGMEE, can i give AIPGMEE exam again while doing pg? plz reply sir
Yes, you can. But if you are planning to leave the seat if you are getting a seat in next year counseling, make sure you enquire about the bond in the state you are taking admission in.
sir, after taking pg seat through AIPGMEE, can i give AIPGMEE exam again while doing pg?
can I apply for endocrinology superspeciality in INdia after finishing 3 years of Internal Medicine in US? How would I approach for this? Please suggest
Yes you can apply as long as the course is recognized by MCI.
sir, plz help, I hv taken MD forensic in jan 2016 in PGI, but in all india my rank is 10096, via which I could get DA from MP, Im 2012 mbbs paas out ,cant study anymore fr all india ….. should I stay with FM or change to DA….????
Totally depends on your interest but I personally think DA has a much wider scope and earning potential compared to Forensic Medicine. If I was in your place, I would have taken DA.
Does any university allows to pursue DM neurology or any other DM courses other than neuroradiology after MD in Radiology.. I was interested in clinical subject sply Medicine or peds but stuked up with radiology residency..
I have never heard of any such course being offered after Radiology.
I m a radiologist myself who feels the same way.. My advice is to quit radiology residency if u r below28 years
Shehbaz and donald matthew…. i am a radiologist, 3 years post MD. I also feel the same. I also want to give PG entrance once again. I am earning quite a lot as compared to my other friends but somehow i feel i would be better off with a clinical subject. If you are still studying, just leave MD radiology. you wont have any regrets, i assure you. You would have been a topper like me and so you could easily clear AIPGMEE once again. For me though, i feel its too late.
This is my mail ID: [email protected].

WHAT IS THE FUTURE OF M.S. ENT IN INDIA?
I have not heard much about the future prospects of it.
my interest is in cardio
can md pulmonary medicine/ tb and respiratory disease can appear for dm cardio?
can md pulmonary medicine / tb and respiratory disease can appear for dnb cardio?
wat is better to take md pulmonary medicine in recognised seat or md medicine / pediatrics in permitted seat + bond of 5-10 yrs
can md pulmonary medicine again give aipgmee for md radio or other ? ( double degree)
Only those qualifications which I have mentioned in the DNB table are eligible.
In such case Pulmonary Medicine is a much better option,
Yes, any MD/MS can appear for AIPGMEE and do another MD/MS.
i dont think that md degree candiddate can appear in NEET/aIPGMEE again ,to get md medicine in some other deapartment.
why??????
Sir..but in AIIMS prospectus MD pulmonary medicine not mentioned for DM cardio…
Is that only for Maharashtra or for all over indian clgs
There is specific table only for Maharashtra.
sir i have huge interest in cardio/ radio? keeping that in mind i have few questions please reply fast
can md pulmonary medicine can appear for dm cardio?
can md pulmonary medicine can appear for dnb cardio
can md pulmonary medicine can again appear for aipggmee for md radio or other degree( double degree)
wat is better md pulmonary medicine in recognised seat or md medicine / pediatrics in permitted seat + bond of 5- 10 yrs?
Sir i basically wanted do pg in Paeds or medicine….but even after trying for 3 yrs I could not make it… Now I m getting md pathology in Sion hospital Mumbai…what is future scope after doing me pathology….and are there any clinical courses that can be done after doing md path…
If you are capable of cracking entrance exams again, you can do any clinical course you want. But remember that in states like Maharashtra there is bond of Rs. 20 lakhs for those who leave the seat after last date.
sir after MD in RESPIRATORY there is course of DM CARDIOLOGY..
i want to know chances of geting DM CARDIOLOGY
is it advisable to do MD RESPIRATORY MEDICINE and than DM CARDIOLOGY??
There are only few states like Maharashtra which allow DM Cardiology after MD Respiratory medicine. I don’t know how many do. So chances are that way less. Also doing DM is your choice. You can go for it after any course if you like.
1.SIR, CAN SOME ONE DO MD/MD COURSE IN A SEPARATE CLINICAL SUBJECT AFTER DOING MD/MS IN SOME OTHER SUBJECT IN THE SAME UNIVERSITY FROM WHERE HE HAS COMPLETED HIS FIRST MD/MS DEGREE?IF NOT, THEN WHAT ARE THE UNIVERSITY IN INDIA WHICH DONOT ALLOW A PERSON TO DO SECOND MD/MS DEGREE IN THE SAME UNIVERSITY IF HE HAS COMPLETED HIS FIRST MD/MS DEGREE FROM THAT UNIVERSITY?

Yes you can have dual degree from any university. Reply for RTI was that there is no such rule that you cannot have dual degree in MCI PG Medical regulations. So it is allowed.
SIR, BUT AIIMS, JIPMER DONT ALLOW…..DUAL DEGREE…IS THERE ANY SUCH INSTITUTE WHICH U KNOW AND WHICH DONT ALLOW DUAL DEGREE?PL PROVIDE WITH INFORMATION FOR THE BENEFIT OF COMMUNITY
Sorry I don’t have such kind of list.
sir what clinical dm courses or clinical fellowship courses that can be done after md community medicine?

i am genuinely interested in MD general medicine or paeds..i am also confused if i should wait for another 6months and try my luck at nov central exams or should i take pulmonology…kindly help..
All the DM courses allowed after MD Pulmonology have been mentioned here. I don’t know about Andhra but if it has a separate entrance exam for DM courses you can have a look at its information brochure to know which courses are allowed after which MD.
Regarding taking Medicine, if you are opening your own clinic then I think you can take Pulmonary medicine and then do the practice. Taking seat or not depends on your liking. If you are comfortable with Pulmonary medicine then take it, and if you are confident that you can crack the exam again and want MD medicine only then wait.

are any of fcps/cps courses recognised by mci?
ive come across some senior doctors who have done secondary dnb, md, after doing cps? is it still possible?
http://www.mciindia.org/ActsandAmendments/TheThirdScheduleofIMCAct.aspx
If it is mentioned on the MCI website as seen in the link you provided, it is recognized by MCI.
Secondary DNB is not allowed after CPS as far as I know.
sir I have seen the previous questions and your rplies regarding the 2nd Degree but what about the courses like diploma or DNB? If some one did his MD in a suject and have a NEET rank then is he allowed to take a diploma in his choicable subject of take a DNB seat?
are fcps/cps courses MCI recognised?
can secondary MD, DNB be done after cps?
http://www.mciindia.org/ActsandAmendments/TheThirdScheduleofIMCAct.aspx
sir have seen those previous question and your replies regarding the 2nd PG degree courses but what about the diploma or DNB? If someone did his MD in a subject and have a rank in NEET then is he allowed to take even diploma in his choicable subject or persue a DNB course in a different subject?
Yes you can do a diploma or DNB in any subject, There is no such rule to not allow it.
Sir,
Wat about MD Anatomy???
No DM course is allowed as of now.
Sir..can you please mention whether there are differences in the job and salary prospects between dm oncology and dnb oncology in india ?
Salary depends on your skills and hard work. You cannot compare both. As long as you are a good doctor, it does not matter whether you have DM or DNB.
Sir, I have a question. Please Can You tell, how to enter directly into M.Ch. for Plastic Surgery ? I have heard that there are some fields in which we can directly do M.Ch.(6 yrs.) and Plastic Surgery is one of them. Which exams we need to give for it, if we want an M.Ch. seat in Delhi or Mumbai ? Are the PG Exams for M.S. and M.Ch. same ? Is the Course of the PG Exams same ?
AIIMS offers 6 years M. Ch courses but July 2016 exam prospectus does not mention Plastic surgery course being offered. You can check out http://www.mciindia.org/InformationDesk/CollegesCoursesSearch.aspx?N=11 for list of colleges offering such courses.
sir can i pursue MCH plastics post md dermatology?
No.

You can do the same via RTI online website. But I don’t think NBE comes under RTI. Maybe you can file an RTI directly to MCI or Ministry of Health, but I am doubtful whether that will be helpful.

Physiology deals with all functions of the body. But only immunology and medical genetic is offer as super specialties. Don’t you think sir there should be more to offer.

Sorry, I have no such list.

Which law of MCI restrict paediatric candidate to opt for endo
The reference u hav given in ur article is of 2013 but still till 2017 it was not followed
NEET-SS information brochure says MD /DNB (Paediatrics) candidates can do DM Endocrinology.
A new brochure of neetss has no space for giving dm for MD biochemistry it is rather a frustrating rule and more frustrating to a young MD student leaving no future for further but still these biased MCI allowing msc phd to be a faculty and cutting every DM I hope better to omit this preclinical biochemistry from MBBS curriculum so that like me young MD student should not be stucked leaving a full stop to further career this MCI are all biased and seems to be run by a clinical branch they only think they are the real doctors

There are no regulations which prevent you from doing so.
yes….its possible,as there is no restriction given in post graduate medical education 2000…but certain university (dr mgr university,JIPMER,pgi ,AIIMS) restrict candidates from applying for second MD…now if u want to do second MD degree u have to clear NEET and join a university other than above listed…

I have heard about ‘Electro-physiology’ as well but don’t have any idea about that, can you please provide any information on that? It would be a great help for me.
In this article, I have only mentioned courses of DM and MCh. Courses like diploma and fellowships have to be checked from the individual institutes/ universities. It is better to talk to someone who had done the course you mentioned.
Fine md community medicine. What further specialization available for me sir?
None.
Sir,
MD pathology and MD biochemistry can do DM in clinical hematology. Good. I totally support that.
MD pediatrics can do DM in most of the subjects in addition to the pediatric superspecialities.
My question is when we will start asking WHY & WHEN?
WHY MD radiology is not eligible for DM in Gastroenterology? Or say medical oncology.
WHEN will the restrictions be over for higher studies?
When we will change rules with changing time.
Anita teli is asking what are the options available for higher studies after MD physiology? Dont you think you too can do DM in clinical hematology like the MD biochemistry or pathology.
Come on friends start asking why not?
I asked. Dint get valid answer from MCI.
We shoukd start a movement
