Theory Syllabus :
There will be two streams :
** 6 years Course for post-MBBS candidates (General Surgery 1 year + Neurosurgery 5 years)
** 3 years Course for post-MS (General Surgery) candidates
The evaluation will be in three parts for the 6 years course with examinations as follows :
Part I : General Surgery at the end of the first year
Part II : Basic Neurosciences and Clinical Neurology at the end of the third year
Part III : Neurosurgery at the end of the sixth year
The evaluation will be in one part for the 3 years course, with examination being conducted at the end of three years. The Candidates appearing for Part III Examination of 6 years M.Ch Neurosurgery course and 3 years M.Ch Neurosurgery post M.S course will have the same practical scheme of examination.
PART I (6 years course) :
** Will undergo training in basic principles in General Surgery
** Will preferably be posted for at least 2 months in a Head and Neck Surgery unit for exposure to the anatomy of Head and Neck
** Will undergo an examination at the end of first year of the course in :
i. Paper 1 – Basic Sciences in relation to General Surgery
ii. Paper 2 – General Surgery
** Will undergo Clinical and viva voce examination in General Surgery
