Secondary DNB Admissions Cancelled Over Missing NOCs Amid Dispute Between FAIMA and NBEMS
Around 20 doctors admitted to Secondary DNB courses across India face seat cancellations due to not submitting mandatory No Objection Certificates (NOCs) from their state health authorities during registration. The Federation of All India Medical Association (FAIMA) attributes the issue to delays by state DGHS offices, urging withdrawal of cancellations and an extension for NOC submission. The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) maintains that the NOC requirement is longstanding and candidates were informed beforehand, leading to cancellations after non-compliance.
