The NLE consists of two components, a theory component and a skill-based clinical component. The theory component consists of MCQs targeting higher cognition and will check a candidate’s ability to apply knowledge. It has 200 MCQs in which 70% are from clinical sciences disciplines and 30% from basic sciences disciplines.

The Clinical Skills Examination (CSE) is meant to assess essential clinical skills required for practice by a general medical practitioner. The format of CSE is similar to that of an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE). Only candidates qualifying in the theory (MCQs) component of NLE will be eligible for the CSE.
