In simple terms DNB focuses heavily on hands on clinical skills in diverse hospitals (often private) with a tough, centralized exam but MD/MS gives more structured, research focused learning in medical colleges with university specific exams leading to slightly different career paths but both are recognized specialist qualifications.
Think of DNB as more "real-world, fast-paced" training and MD/MS as more "academic, textbook-heavy" with strong mentorship but DNB is gaining ground for its clinical depth.
