Are you preparing for FNB Entrance????

Hi Friends, while I was preparing for my Fellowship of National Board (FNB) Entrance for Critical Care Medicine; I was totally confused about the kind of questions the Diplomate of National Board (DNB) asks. Cause there is no book, no reference, no site or blog which clearly mentions about them or even gives a few examples.

With the help of my senior, Dr. Suneel Garg, I have managed to collect quite a many of the Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) that were asked by the DNB for the entrance in the year 2008 and 2009.

So I am starting a new thread “FNB PEARLS” soon, where I will post MCQs asked in the Fellowship of National Board (FNB) Entrance for Critical Care. Not all the MCQs are complete, as it was very difficult to recollect them as they appeared in the exam. But it will definitely give you an idea of the kind of questions asked, the variety, and the topics covered.

I hope it will help all the aspirants preparing for the DNB Fellowship Entrance in Critical Care.

Your queries and suggestions are always welcome. Just post them in the comment box below or you can also write a mail to icucriticalcare@gmail.com.

All the best!!!

    1. Hi deep.cool - yes they did give 5 marks extra ....but if u do well in ur theory mcqs ...i dont think it makes much difference. Since jan 2012, the dnb board has chucked off the aptitude test...so i doubt if this holds true now.
