Hello Narayan
the Ministry of Health introduced the National Medical Commission Bill (NMC) in Lok Sabha on July 22. The Bill intends to revolutionize the medical education landscape by bringing in radical changes like scrapping of National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for postgraduate (NEET-PG) and Foreign Medical Graduate Entrance Exam (FMGE). Replacing the two examinations, the bill proposes to introduce the National Exit Test (NEXT) which will be conducted for not only getting admission in postgraduate medical courses but will also be a licentiate exam, allowing medical students to get enrolled in the national or state register. Students in the final year of their MBBS course will be able to take the exam.
EFFECT ON NEET UG ASPIRANTS
The bill proposes to merge all entrance exams at the undergraduate level which includes AIIMS and JIPMER with National Eligibility cum Entrance Test.
