Sports Medicine (Orthopaedic) fellowships in Chennai, India

The host lists MS/DNB Orthopaedics or an equivalent international qualification for arthroscopy; its separate sports-medicine course also lists MD/DNB PMR. Confirm the applicable route.

For the Indian-candidate FNB 2025 admission route: DNB/MS Orthopaedics, recognised under the NMC Act 2019, completed by 31 December 2025; permanent registration of MBBS and the postgraduate feeder qualification; and qualification in FET 2025 for the relevant fellowship. Candidates already pursuing FNB/DrNB/DM/MCh are ineligible for the prescribed duration of that course, even after resignation or discontinuation.

For the 2025 admission session: qualify the relevant FET, register at counseling.nbe.edu.in, upload prescribed documents, rank seat preferences and pay the counseling and first-year course fees. Allocation is by merit and preferences; accept/freeze the allotted seat and join after original-document verification. This describes the published process, not a currently open application window.

If the postgraduate degree has not yet been issued, a university/board letter is required. Original documents must be verified on joining.

2025 admission-session counseling requires payment of INR 125,000 for the first-year course fee, plus payment-gateway charges. Subsequent-year fees are paid directly to the hospital when payable. The handbook prohibits additional capitation fees and cash/deposit security or caution bonds; government service bonds may apply when disclosed.
