Students admitted to the MBBS course in 2019 will be the first batch to take the National Exit Test (NExT), for which a mock test will be conducted on July 28.
Registration for the mock test will begin on June 28, according to information released by the National Medical Commission (NMC) on June 27 at a webinar organised for medical college faculty and final-year MBBS students across the country.
NExT will now be the medical licentiate exam and will replace both the Foreign Medical Graduates Exam (FMGE) and the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test – Postgraduate (NEET-PG) and will be a two-step exam. Step 1 of NExT will be a computer-based examination based on multiple choice questions (MCQs) and Step 2 will be a practical or clinical examination. Both Step 1 and 2 will be held twice a year.
