Expert take: what NExT really tests
NExT is the NMC’s proposed single national exit-cum-licensing test intended to replace the final-year MBBS exam, the FMGE and NEET-PG with a two-step assessment (theory + practical). As of now it is not implemented — implementation has been repeatedly postponed, and NEET-PG continues for PG admissions.

- Build strong clinical-competency and integrated-subject foundations, which NExT is expected to emphasise.
