The Health Ministry announced that the National Exit Test (NExT) will be held from 2024.

About NExT:

NExT will be a single examination that would replace final-year MBBS examinations and the National Eligibility Entrance Test Postgraduate (NEET PG) entrance exam.
It will act as a qualifying test for granting registration to doctors as well as the basis for postgraduate seat allocation.
NExT 1: The first part will replace the university-level final examinations. NExT 1 will be the basis for provisional registration with medical councils, which is needed for the one-year mandatory internship.
NExT 2: It will be a practical paper that will be held after students have completed their internship. It will be a practical test also focused on assessing clinical skills.
The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Delhi, is likely to conduct the exam which will test both the clinical and practical learning of the students.
