1. MBBS doctors will no longer need extra exams for licences, or for PG admissions

The Union Cabinet passed the National Medical Commission Bill (NMC) in July 2019. Under this, the students will be admitted based on score in the common final year MBBS exam, which will be known as National Exit Test (NEXT). This means that the medical aspirants will no longer have to go through a separate examination to secure a licence to practice medicine, or to enroll in postgraduate programmes.





NEXT will also be considered as a screening test for foreign medical aspirants.
