According to National Board DNB is considered equivalent to MD/MS in the same branch.

With passing rates in DNB improving, it makes sense to leave an MD/MS seat for a better DNB branch.

However, a specific MCC rule has caused a lot of dilemma in minds of aspirants.

The dilemma of DNB counseling:

If a candidate has been allotted a seat in Round 2 and has reported to the institute, he/she cannot participate in any further State/DNB counseling.

However, the candidate can forfeit the R2 seat by not reporting to the institute (and giving away the refundable tuition fee) in order to participate in DNB counseling.

We want you to make an informed decision on whether you should leave your R2 seat for a shot at DNB counseling.
