Question 1

Which dates should I be aware of while taking admission in ILBS?

Accepted Answer

For M.Ch and DNB, track the NEET SS cycle, with registration around September 2026 and the exam between November and December 2026. For PDCC, the application window is April to May 2026 with a July 2026 start. M.Sc Nursing applications run from March to April 2026.

Question 2

Is admission to ILBS tough to crack?

Accepted Answer

Yes, admission is competitive because seats per speciality are limited and most programs need a strong postgraduate medical or science background. Super-speciality seats depend on NEET SS merit, and in-house programs need you to clear a written entrance test and interview. Good preparation and the right qualifying degree are essential.

Question 3

How are M.Ch and DNB seats filled at ILBS?

Accepted Answer

Both are filled through NEET SS, the national super-speciality entrance test, followed by centralised counselling by the Medical Counselling Committee. You need to qualify NEET SS, get a seat allotted through MCC, and then report to ILBS with your qualifying degree and allotment documents.

Question 4

What is the PDCC program at ILBS?

Accepted Answer

The Post Doctoral Certificate Course is a 1-year super-speciality training offered across 22 specialisations. Admission is through the ILBS written entrance test and interview. Each specialisation requires the matching parent degree, such as MD General Medicine or MD Paediatrics for Hepatology.

Question 5

Do JRF-qualified candidates get any relaxation for the Ph.D?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Candidates holding a valid CSIR-NET, UGC-NET, GATE, or ICMR-JRF qualification can skip the ILBS written entrance test and appear directly for the departmental interview. This is a clear advantage for fellowship-holders applying to the Ph.D programme.

Question 6

What experience is needed for M.Sc Nursing admission?

Accepted Answer

You need a B.Sc Nursing or Post-Basic B.Sc Nursing degree with at least 50%marks, plus a minimum of 1 year of post-qualification work experience in a hospital with 100 or more beds, a teaching hospital, or a nursing college. You also need a valid nursing council registration.

Question 7

Is there a security bond for the PDCC programme?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A security bond of INR 2,00,000 on non-judicial stamp paper is required before joining the PDCC. It is lost only if you do not complete the program. A non-refundable application fee of INR 5,000 is also payable at the time of application.

Question 8

What is one thing I should know before taking admission in ILBS?

Accepted Answer

ILBS is a specialised institute, so every program has a strict qualifying-degree requirement and limited seats. Confirm that your MD, MS, DNB, M.Sc, or nursing qualification exactly matches the programme requirement before applying, and keep watching the institute website because notifications are released on a fixed annual calendar.

Question 9

Do DNB and Fellowship candidates receive a stipend?

Accepted Answer

Yes. DNB candidates receive a monthly stipend as per the institute and National Board of Examinations norms. Fellowship candidates also receive a monthly stipend as per institute norms. You can confirm the current stipend schedule with the ILBS academic section at the time of application.
