NEXT is slated to be implemented from 2022. And so if you are planning on appearing for PG Entrance exam, it will be NEXT and not NEET PG. NEXT will have 2 sections NEXT 1 and NEXT 2. NEXT 1 is going to he theoretical questions in the form of Multiple Choice Questions and will be conducted just before commencement of internship soon after final year MBBS. After successfully passing NEXT 1, students will begin their internship. Those Candidates who clear NEXT 1, will also have to clear NEXT 2 which is the practical section separately towards the end of the internship. The score that you get in NEXT 1 determines your eligibility to gain a seat in PG after Internship. Marks secured in NEXT 2 is just a pass or fail type of examination and doesn't contribute towards allocation of a seat in PG. NEXT 1 is the qualifying and competitive exam. All the 19 subjects followed in the new MCI curriculum will be introduced in NEXT syllabus for MBBS. But the subject wise marks distribution will be different from NEET PG and FMGE. The clinical subjects will carry more marks disproportionately than pre and para clinical subjects.
