NExT will replace the National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET) PG for admission to postgraduate programmes and will serve as a common qualifying final-year MBBS exam, a licentiate exam to practise modern medicine and a screening exam for foreign medical graduates who want to practice in the country.

As per the NExT Regulations 2023, which were issued by the NMC, the exam will be held in two phases, with the NExT Step 1 and NExT Step 2 exams being held twice a year. Earlier, Union health minister Mansukh Mandaviya had said the examination will be applicable for students of 2020 MBBS batch and onwards. He had added that the 2019 batch will not be covered under the examination.

Meanwhile, the Indian Medical Association had opposed the examination, saying it is not possible to implement it in the current scenario until the NMC ensures uniform standards of education across medical colleges in the country.
