The National Exit Test for MBBS students could replace the NEET-PG next year
New Delhi:The National Eligibility and Entrance Test for Postgraduates (NEET-PG), which is scheduled for April to May of 2023, maybe the last of its kind because, according to officials, final-year MBBS students will now be admitted to PG medical courses based on the results of the National Exit Test. officials have said
MBBS students from the 2019–2020 batch will be required to take the test if it's held in December 2023. According to them, the exam's results will also be used for the 2024–2025 class's admissions to postgraduate medical programs.
The NMC Act states that NExT will function as a common final-year MBBS qualifying exam, a licence exam for the practise of modern medicine, a merit-based admissions exam for postgraduate courses,and a screening exam for foreign medical graduates who wish to practise in India.
The government extended the deadline for conducting NExT until September 2024 by invoking the pertinent NMC Act provisions in September. Within three years of it going into effect, the commission was required by law to perform a common undergraduate final-year medical examination, known as NExT.
