    MD Psychiatry is a PG degree awarded by medical universities, while DNB Psychiatry is offered by the National Board of Examinations (NBE) in India, typically through accredited hospitals or institutions. 

    Both qualifications cover similar areas of psychiatric study, including diagnosis and treatment of mental health disorders, but the DNB is often considered more hands-on and practical in its approach due to its hospital-based training. 

    However, both degrees are recognised by medical councils and lead to equivalent professional standing, allowing practitioners to pursue careers as psychiatrists.
