There is less acknowledgment among the overall population about DNB degree and this might influence your clinical practiseDNB graduates need to finish one year of senior residency in clinical universities preceding arrangement as workforce in educating foundations. Less educating. The showing plan for DNB programme may not be all around as normal as in clinical universities. Low pass rate. The end of the year test is viewed as intense and the pass rate is by and large at 15 to 20%.

Hi,
I think MD has better scope as compared to DNB because of the following reasons:
1) Low pass rate. The final exam is considered tough and the pass rate is generally at 15 to 20%.
2) There might be less hands on training in specialities like surgery in some institutions
3) There is less recognition among the general public about DNB degree and this may affect your clinical practise
4) DNB graduates need to complete one year of senior residency in medical colleges prior to appointment as faculty in teaching institutions.
5) Less teaching. The teaching schedule in DNB program may not be as regular as in medical colleges.

HI,
MD would be a better choice because these qualifications are recognised by the MCI. Also, most hospitals give a lot of preference to this when hiring. DNB is under the health ministry of India. It's considered equivalent to MD, but you get lesser credit for it.

I think the basic difference between the two is that, MD is awarded by medical council of India while DNB is awarded by national board of examinations
The scope for DNB is more because some private hospitals prefer DNB candidates to MD , as DNB students have had to put more hard work for their degree.

It all depends on the institute rather than anything else. DNB from some institutes is better than MD from some and vice versa. Yes DNB is more difficult to pass compared to MD but during the training period the work load is much more in MD than DNB. As far as job prospects are concerned MD and DNB are similar and you will be treated equally in most places.
