NExT: Exam in two steps? Everything you need to know by Dr. Deepak Marwah PrepLadder Neet Pg

The National Medical Commission (NMC) has issued draft regulations on the National Exit Test (NExT) for admission to postgraduate medical programmes and for license to practise medicine in India. According to the draft guidelines, NExT will be conducted as two separate exams called ‘Steps’. While Step 1 will be a theory exam and will be held in the second week of December, Step 2 will be a practical exam and will be conducted in the second week of March. NExT is supposed to replace the National Eligibility Entrance Test for Postgraduate (NEET PG) exam.

Our government aiming us/uk levels, with African level system🤦🤦

[harikrishnanramachandran]

This whole Next Exam fiasco will result in one thing - MASS EXODUS OF YOUTH MEDICAL ASPIRANTS to any other country except India, simply because of the EXTREME HARD WORK and SHEER MENTAL STRESS a student has to face when compared to the meager salary and poor work life balance an Indian doctor receives, in addition to the BYSTANDER VIOLENCE and DISCRIMINATION he or she faces, It makes it worthless to pursue a medical career here....

Already in other sectors, India is facing an exodus of youth pursuing careers in UK, US, Europe, etc. now with NMC and Next exam, Medical sector will start seeing a brain drain too.

basically, its better to face the REAL USMLE than this CHOR BAZAAR triple a copy called Next PG

Step 2 - Practical exams will be very much subjective... One examiner will give more marks for simple answers while the other examiner may give less marks for a tough answer... The MARKS given will depend on the EXAMINER...

10 years limit on a short notice is really bad. It's gonna cut short/limit thousands of mbbs careers instantly. If the NMC really wants it, then they should give atleast 5, 6 time for it to start working.

It is important to study text books! Let’s read from our way! Textbook can’t be replaced by experience !

[rahulmohan]

Only if the efforts did proportionate to the payscale and a healthy life, it wud have been rewarding !

[tindrums]

50% will be interesting. Currently 50% (neet pg) percentile is about 35%. Therefore failure rates would be far higher. Maybe 65-70% will fail.

When its used to be a straight paper, they were making lot of mistakes and never ever acknowledged it....
Now imagine, A battery of exams and the scope of mistakes is still higher....
Its better if they do mock drill with students rather just playing with them straight away....

[Whatwhywhoo]

*What if someone got 400/540 items and FAILED by just ONE MARK in One subject?One mistake of paper setter can cost him/her ( suppose Opthalmology - 29/60 ) - what is further option ? this is mental torture - nothing else*

[Rohit_.]

Now I felling sad for choosing medicine although I like the field but now even the procedure is this much stressful😢

[Swaroop_]

I think they implement same rule as foreign medical education but conducting 2 exam in 1 day create huge pressure on aspirants. # totally indian medicine have bright future.🙂

[abhimanyupoonia]

After NEXT implementation we have only more theoretical knowledge because everyone wants to focus on theory instead of theory+practical. Everyone try to save time by avoiding wards.

[drazrasaba]

Please don't do negative markings please we are already doomed😵‍💫

[samanwaysanket]

This is mental torture, nothing else.
An unscientific way to deal with growing number of MBBS students as government has no plans to boost career option and job opportunity, so it wants to make the vast number of students entangled in a complex system of exams.

Ultimately, the value, the importance and the scientific extent of MBBS will be curtailed and undermined, because everyone would start preparing for NEXT from first day in first year.
And as a result there will be thousands of MBBS graduates being unemployed or working on contract basis.

MBBS is the new B. Tech in making, thanks to NMC and NEXT.

[Whatwhywhoo]

*What they are saying is that you will have to do 1 year internship and then you will get in PG? so how one who already completed INTERNSHIP will get in PG immediately after NEXT 1* ? See what will happen - after some years they will replace NEXT with something else - so we need STABILISATION in EXAM.

[sarwanmann]

There is no restriction to the number of attempts to appear in NExT Step 1 provided the
candidate has passed both NExT Step 1 and NExT Step 2 Examination within 1 O years of
joining the MBBS Course- can you give more details regards this point

[Whatwhywhoo]

🎥🎥 *What about those who already completed INTERNSHIP? They need to do it again? Don't say YES*

[sanuvivek]

One more thing this averaging will create more confusion burden ...once you can't get any seats for pg means you are out of the competition...for example let's A and B are two candidates.., A has given exam and scored 60% and didn't get any seat or the desired one next year he plans to give and scored 80% but his averaging will be 70 while on the other hand if B gives this time and scored 75 ...becoz of this shit averaging even if A had scored good he will lag behind B ...noted that A had given one extra year extra efforts but still has to suffer 😪....

NEW PATTERN NEXT EXAM - NEW DREAM TEAM. WHAT A CO-INCIDENCE. THATS PREPLADDER. HOPE PREPLADDER WILL COME WITH AMAZING VIDEOS AFTER MARCH 2023..

[ishikasrivastava]

Indian govt taking up this decision is like implementing nthis exam in a country where aiims Delhi is being compared with new medical colleges where no facilities are available how can we rationalise this
