1. Medical students and parents jittery about NExT exam pattern
National Medical Commission (NMC) introduced National Exit Test (NExT) to achieve uniformity in the summative evaluation across India with reference to the minimum common standards of education and training of a medical graduate. This will be a uniform licentiate exam (for graduates from foreign medical universities), and an entrance exam for PG medical courses. But, students and parents oppose implementation of NExT from this year citing complete change in the system mid-way through the course.
