MRCPCH Examinations in India

Please note that due to the low candidate numbers that we have been receiving in some of our India centres for both the Part 1 and Part 2 exam, we may need to reduce the numbers of centres on offer. This means that although each candidate choosing to sit the exam in India will still have the five choices of centre on their application form, a candidate may be allocated to their second choice if the numbers are not sufficient in their chosen centre to run the exam.
