Hi Sid,Ar.Sid said:Yes Ofcourse..
MEDICAL Examinations (as they were in our case)
With the MR comes the list of the registered DMPs(Designated Medical Practitioner),citywise..There are about 3-4 in Mumbai.We chose one nearest to our residence.Set an appointment for the next day.
Do carry your original passport with 2-3 photocopies, about 10 photographs(passport size or visa photos any are fine),IMM1017 form printouts & MR email copy from NDVO (comes in the email with the MR letter),all your medical reports,xrays,hospitalisation/surgery records & documents,drug prescriptions etc(carry photocopies of the latest reports & prescriptions if any- we were asked to attach them in our report.)
There is no need to fast(usually required for pathology blood tests) as was told to us while setting up the appointment but my spouse & I did anyways.Arrived at the medical centre at 8.30am, the fees as recommended on a sheet which comes with the MR is INR 3100 per head(adults) was paid by us & the receipts obtained are to be kept safely as they are to be sent to NDVO as proof of undergoing tests.
We had a clinic's co-ordinator who guided us through the process there.
Tests started with depositing a Urine Sample followed by a blood extraction.
Next, we were provided with copies of forms-IMM5419(DMP will give you these) which was told to be filled in certain places & signed in many places on its many pages(along with affixing the photos). This form, along with the copy of IMM1017 that you bring along is to be filled in duplicate.
The form filling will take about 15-20min tops..hand over the forms to the co-ordinator once done..
Next, we had our height,weight & BMI measured & was noted on the form by the co-ordinator. Then, we were called in for the Chest Xray. Following that was a full physical.
In the physical, you will be asked about the history of your illnesses(from childhood) & about the above mentioned reports/documents that you share with the DMP.It has been mentioned on a few threads that its good to share all your medical history-just in case something comes up in the bloodtests that you suffer & have not disclosed then you will be asked for a retest.. so better to be honest..I took this advice
Next in the physical your BP,pulse will be noted,your body will be examined for inoculation marks scars,tattoos,surgery scars, birthmarks(females have a breast exam as well)
Then there was an eyetest-colourblindness,nearsightedness & farsightedness(you have to be able to read/discern the numbers/patterns on the chart basically) & then the DMP in conversation also ascertains if your hearing is ok..I had a lady doctor & she was asking me about my work,designation,duties etc(probably meant to assess the candidate's mental health as well) & suddenly she started talking very softly to see if Im able to hear her.. ;D ;D
Lastly, I was told to attach photocopies of a couple of medical reports & prescription druglist that I take on a regular basis..same for my spouse
I have a slight BP problem & cholesterol/lipids as well(she made a note of it on her report)..I asked her if it was a thing of concern- she said its common so no need to worry...I read on some other threads that even diabetes(unless its major) is not an issue
Thats it..
Then before leaving on asking,we were told it would take about 10 working days for them(DMP) to process & send all medical reports to NDVO. The whole MR Test process took just over 2 hours..
Hope this is helpful for whoever are taking the MR.. anybody have any additions/inputs from their MR experience pls do add-in
Lotsa Best Wishes to all awaiting the MR...
Best regards & take care...
Hello Shaafqatz,shaafqatz said:
No. Nothing explicitly that could be termed as a mental examination. Just a discussion about the job, company working for, working since when, the designation,duties,activities etc with the doctor is what happened in case of me & my spouse..I suppose that is enough to give an idea to the doctor of your mental wellbeing...Angel31 said:

I completely agree with that.. ;DGhani2004 said:
ALL THE BEST....Thanks for informing us on this too !!Ar.Sid said:Hello again,
Something more to share.. I think I have figured out this PCC deal..
I had a chap in front of me in the line at the RPO(he is a Physiotherapist, Feb 2011 applicant, got his MR on 26th Nov. I met him first earlier in the day when I was getting my MR done at the clinic) when I was applying for the PCC..We exchanged nos. & I called him 2 days later & he mentioned that his PCC came the very next at the RPO
Its basically something to do with the police verification file that is generated & attached to your passport no.
In my case, my 1st passport had the police file but the 2nd one which i re-issued (on basis of 1st one which was still valid) about 8months back did not undergo any police verification(i got it in 2 weeks) & hence is missing that file... :'(
So for me its chase the file now thru police verification...
PCC is 2 things..
1st - Stamp on the last few page/s of the passport that a PCC is issued for XYZ country
2nd -A document which mentions that this doc is a PCC for XYZ country & the person has a clean record/no criminal history etc
You are most welcome Nokiadesire& thanks for the +1...It figures that NDVO does have some backlog from previous months.. The physiotherapist that I mentioned in a few posts back had applied in early Feb'11 & he got his MR after me(Mine is doc Recvd- Apr13 2011).. so definitely it goes without saying..no Need to Lose Hope guys...nokiadesire said:
Thanks for the +1 ...Best of luck for the MR & the PCC(thats the real time killer)..Angel31 said:
I don't think that we would get PCC as we have already submitted earlier and had received it in 2 daysAr.Sid said:Thanks for the +1 ...Best of luck for the MR & the PCC(thats the real time killer)..
Do update the status of your PCC whenever you do apply...Im keen to know about the timeframe they tell you...
