Re: Which is more tough?
The answer is a bit tricky you know
1.MRCP is actually only an entrance exam for higher post graduate studies in medicine and allied disciplines while FCPS is an exit and degree exam
2. MRCP has an international standing and is more respected as compared to FCPS
3. MRCP training is of 2 years as compared to 3-5 years of FCPS( depending upon which speciality u have chosen)
4. MRCP training can be done in PAkistan under approved FRCP supervisors and at designated institutes but for the part 11 and iii exam you have to go abroad. Whereas FCPS starts and ends in Pakistan
5. MRCP is costly ...FCPS is relatively cheap
6. FCPS demands a dissertation and three-four workshops...MRCP has no such requirement
but in the end i would recommend you ask a person who has qualified both the exams and he would be in a better position to cooment on pros and cons of both
Best of luxk
