The NeXT exam was proposed by the NMC as a part of a bill passed in 2019. The exam will be a common eligibility and entrance test for awarding licence for practising medicine and surgery to students who have completed MBBS studies.  Also, the exam is likely to serve as an entrance test for admission to PG medical degree programmes, replacing NEET PG and FMGE exams. 

NeXT will be an online exam and the question paper will be based on the syllabus of undergraduate medical programmes. The NeXT question paper will consist of  multiple choice questions-type questions. 

The social media post read, “With regard to implementation of NeXT, Chairperson, NMC apprised that broad modalities of the NeXT exam had been worked out. The exam would be held in two steps – Step 1 and Step 2. The exam would be held in 2023.”
