What must remain separate and verified

Each theory route contains 200 application-focused MCQs with a 180-minute preset, matching the 2024 PM&DC standard.

The published 2024 pass threshold is 70% and there is no negative marking.

Year-5 Medical and Year-4 Dental also require a separate clinical-skills component.

Passing NEB does not itself guarantee a transfer seat; current PM&DC migration rules and seat availability apply.
