NExT Mock Test should be free of cost, says FAIMA Chairman

Amid the criticism AIIMS is getting to charge INR 2000 for NExT Mock Test registration, FAIMA Chairman has said that there should be no fees for the registration.

After AIIMS Delhi invited applications for the National Exit Test (NExT) mock test on behalf of the National Medical Commission (NMC) by paying a registration fee of INR 2000 for the General Category, they faced huge criticism from the medical fraternity for charging a huge amount for a mock test.

Now, Dr Rohan Krishnan, the Chairman of the Federation of All India Medical Association (FAIMA) has said that the mock test or practice test should be free of charge.

"Requesting @MoHFW_INDIA @NMC_IND @aiims_newdelhi that mock test for NeXT shd be free of COST & students should be able to log in from there home computers," reads his tweet.

“Why wasting crores & lakhs of rupees in private medical college in India. Its better to go abroad. Any ways you have to give exam. Most of the private medical colleges have ghost faculties,0 opd,No clinical exposure,Affiliation issues,” says another tweet.

"UPSC Exam fee - Rs 200/JEE Mains exam fee- Rs 1000/Mock test for NEXT- Rs 2000/Isn't it an extortion of money from the student?," read another tweet.
