Setting of Question Paper
In PG and DM/MCh entrance examination, there will be a single
paper of 180 questions of 3 hours duration. Each question will carry one mark.
There will be negative marking for wrong answer (0.25 marks).
The PG and DM/MCh entrance examination papers
would have multiple types of MCQs, namely single
response (Section A-60%), multiple T/F, images,
assertion/reasoning questions and patient
management questions (Section B-40%).
In PG entrance examination, distribution of marks would
be as per relevance of the subjects, with clinical
subjects carrying more weight age than pre and
paraclinical subjects.

Conduct of Examination
The PG entrance exam would be conducted at the end of the internship
in Mid January- mid February as is the current
practice. In future the common exam will be held at
the start of internship.

Evaluation
Presently minimum of 50% marks are required by a general candidate and 40%
by other categories for admission. The merit list may
be prepared using percentile score and there may
not be any cut-off level.This prevents seats being left vacant.

Tie Breaks
For PG entrance examination, tie break will be resolved
by marks in Section B (patient management questions)
and student scoring higher marks will be placed
higher. If there is still a tie it will be resolved by marks
in the assertion/reasoning questions.

Online Conduct of Examinations
For DM/MCH & PG entrance examination, it may be possible to conduct
online examination as the numbers of candidates are low.

for paper-based exam the application fee would be Rs. 3000 and the cost of conduct of examination may be Rs.1000.
