The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has notified amendments to the examination scheme for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test Super Speciality or NEET SS 2024. As per the notification published on natboard.edu.in, two topics in the test will have separate question papers.
There will be separate question papers for admission to the following courses:
- DM/DrNB Medical Oncology
- DM/DrNB Critical Care Medicine
The questions in these papers will be exclusively from the respective groups, the board said.
The NBEMS has made these changes following the directives of the National Medical Commission (NMC).
The board said the rest of the examination scheme will be the same as published in the information bulletin of NEET SS 2023.
It added that prior eligibility feeder qualifications for DM, MCh and DrNB admissions will be in accordance with Postgraduate Medical Education Regulations, 2023 and clarifications/amendments issued by NMC from time to time.
