NExT Exam: The National Medical Commission (NMC) has published the draft of the regulation for the National Exit Test (NExT). Further, the commission has invited comments from all the stakeholders involved. The stakeholders are expected to submit their comments within 30 days of releasing the notification with a subject tagline 'Comments on draft regulations regarding National Exit Test (NExT)'.
The comments are to be submitted via the email address: comments.regulations@nmc.org.in. The comments should be emailed in a docx or machine-readable PDF format.
The National Exit Test (NExT), as required by regulation, applies to:
- Every undergraduate medical student seeking the degree of MBBS in every medical college recognised by NMC through the Undergraduate Medical Education Board and the Medical Assessment and Rating Board
- All foreign medical graduates who wish to obtain the certification by NMC for acquiring a licence to practise medicine in India and for enrollment in the state registration or the national register.
- Any other individual with a medical degree for a purpose such as following a course of study, an observership, or any other purpose that may be specified and approved by NMC through proper notification or rules from time to time.
The regulations' main goal is to provide consistency in summative evaluations conducted across the country in relation to the minimal requirements for a medical graduate's education and training.
The National Ext Test (NExT), which would work as a licentiate test, is mentioned in the draught rule as the foundation for validating a medical graduate's eligibility to register to practise the modern system of medicine in India. NeXT will also act as an entrance exam for admission by determining the eligibility and ranking for individuals who choose to pursue further PG medical education in the nation in various medical specialties.
