The National Medical Commission (NMC) confirms that the National Exit Test (NExT) is the future examination for MBBS graduates but clarifies that it will not be implemented immediately. The announcement brings relief to medical students preparing for final-year exams and upcoming postgraduate admissions.
According to NMC officials, the commission is still working on the structure, modalities, and testing process of NExT to ensure a fair and transparent system. Once finalized, the NExT exam will serve as a common evaluation for both MBBS licensing and postgraduate admissions, replacing the existing NEET PG and final MBBS exams.
NMC states that the new exam will be introduced only after adequate preparation and trial runs to avoid confusion among students and institutions. The timeline for implementation will be announced well in advance.
Key highlights:
- NExT exam to replace NEET PG and final MBBS exams in future
- NMC says the exam will not be implemented immediately
- Detailed schedule and guidelines to be shared later
