SELECTION PROCEDURE :
Selection of candidate for D.M./M.Ch. courses is a two-step process, with a Theory Examination followed by a Practical Examination. The theory examination will consist of a paper with two parts (Part 1 – General, and Part 2 – Specialty), each with 40 marks. Part 1 will consist of 40 multiple choice questions, each with four options and a single most appropriate response.

The questions will be from the subject corresponding to the candidate’s postgraduate qualification. Part 2 of the paper will consist of 40 multiple choice questions related to the specialty for which the candidate has applied, each with five options and single/multiple correct response(s). Total duration of the theory examination is 90 minutes.

Each question correctly answered in Part 1 will be awarded one mark, with no negative marking for wrong answers. Incorrect responses will, however, be negatively marked in Part 2 of the paper. This part has 40 questions, each with five response options. Hence there are a total of 200 response options.

One or more of these five options can be correct for each question. Part 2 of the paper therefore has some number of correct responses (say a) and incorrect responses (say b, such that a+b=200). A candidate would mark a proportion of these responses as being correct. Some of these are truly correct (say x) while the remaining are wrongly marked as being correct (say y).

Candidates’ responses are matched to each of the 200 possible responses (marked as correct or left blank) with the true answer (correct or incorrect). True correct responses (i.e. candidate correctly marks a response as true) are scored positively, and incorrect responses (i.e. candidate marks an incorrect response as correct) are scored negatively.

Any responses not marked by the candidate are not scored. A candidate’s score in Part 2 will be computed using the formula: Score = [x/a – y/b]×40. As an example, assume that Part 2 of the paper has 80 correct responses. If a candidate marks 90 responses as correct, out of which 60 are truly correct and the remaining 30 are incorrect, then a = 80, b = 120, x = 60 and y = 30.

Accordingly, for this candidate, the score in Part 2 is [(60/80) – (30/120)] × 40 = 20.0. Please note that these figures are only illustrative, and do not imply the actual number of correct responses in the question paper, or actual performance of any candidate. The marks obtained in Parts 1 and 2 will be added to obtain the total theory score, with a maximum score of 80 marks.
