PG NEET exam will be scrapped, NMC likely to replace it with NExT exam from December 2023

According to officials, the National Eligibility and Entrance Test for Postgraduates (NEET-PG), which is scheduled for April to May of next year, may be the last of its kind because, going forward, admission to PG medical programmes will be determined by the results of the National Exit Test, which is to be taken by MBBS students in their final year.
The National Medical Commission (NMC) is understood to have informed the Union Health Ministry that it aims to hold the National Exit Test (NExT) in December 2023 during a high-level meeting conducted on Monday, according to official sources on Wednesday.

MBBS students from the 2019–2020 batch will be required to take the test if it's held in December 2023. According to them, the exam's results will also be used for the 2024–2025 class's entrance to postgraduate medical programmes.
The NMC Act states that NExT will function as a common final-year MBBS qualifying exam, a licence exam for the practise of contemporary medicine, a merit-based admissions exam for postgraduate programmes, and a screening exam for foreign medical graduates who wish to practise in India.

The NMC Act's pertinent provisions have been invoked by the government in September in order to prolong the deadline for conducting NExT until September 2024.

The commission was required by law to carry out a common undergraduate final year medical examination, known as NExT, in accordance with the regulations within three years of the law's implementation. September 2020 saw the Act go into effect.
