MRCPCH India examinations

About the MRCPCH examinations

Currently MRCPCH is a UK and international examination in paediatrics comprising of three sections; MRCPCH Part 1, MRCPCH Part 2 and the MRCPCH Clinical Examination.

MRCPCH Part 1 is a written examination consisting of two papers, Basic Paediatrics (1a) and Science of Paediatrics (1b).

MRCPCH Part 2 is also a written examination covering the application of knowledge and decision making.

From  February 2013 the Part 1 examinations are changing MRCPCH Paper 1a will be Foundation of Practice and MRCPCH Paper 1b will be Theory and Science. From May 2013 the MRCPCH Part 2 will be Applied Knowledge. Each paper may be sat in any order. For further information on the changes please click here.

The MRCPCH Clinical is a ten-station practical assessment and can only be sat once all written examinations have been completed. Candidates who successfully complete all parts of the MRCPCH examinations are eligible to become Members of the Royal College.

MRCPCH is open to all who are training in paediatrics. If you would like to know more, please click here read the newcomer's guide.

Candidate eligibility - Bangladeshi nationals

The RCPCH has opened up the MRCPCH Clinical in India exam to all Bangladeshi nationals and those who are currently working in Bangladesh. The decision was taken due to the increasing number of applications we have been receiving from this area. India nationals and those currently working in India will still, however, receive priority.

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.
