Hi Rushi,

After one has done with their UG course that in your case must be MBBS, you can apply for the PG courses.

You have an option to apply for -

• MS
• MD
• DNB

DIfference between a DNB and other PG courses-

A post graduate degree Diplomate in National Board is awarded by the National Board of Examinations under the Union Ministry of Health, India. DNB candidates are trained at big private hospitals, while the MD/MS candidates are trained at Medical Colleges

As you have already made up your mind to apply for the DNB course, I would appraise you as this is a better option because you get a more hands on experience as compared to any MD or MS graduate.
