EXTRA NOTES FOR PART-I
1. The exam is taken ONCE and TWICE basis, depanding upon the descipline you choose, e.g. for surgery it occurs twice.
2. The minimum pass marks are 45%, but most of the students are outnumbered at about 75-80%.
3. There is NO NEGATIVE MARKING, so feel free to attempt even if you dont know the answer. if ur answer is right u'll get free marks, if wrong, it won't effect ur marks.
4. the PART-II exam occurs differently Maximally four times in a year. FEB, JULY, SEP, NOV are the months for part-II.
5. Next date for Part-I is AUG-SEP, but i'm not sure. I'll make the confirm date available by the time i'll log on again, insha ALLAH.
NOTE:

mrcog-1 is not an exemption from the paper ... but u should discuss ur case with CPSP coz i ve a little knowledge regarding the exemptions..i'm so sorry
