From MBBS to PG: Will the NExT Exam Shape the Future of Medical Education in India?

NExT Exam: The proposed National Exit Test (NExT) in India has sparked widespread debate among medical students, educators, and policymakers.

As a licensure and postgraduate entrance exam, NExT is set to revolutionize the way medical professionals are evaluated. However, a recent study has shed light on the uncertainty and concerns surrounding this new exam, particularly regarding its format, frequency, and purpose.

Conducted by a team of ten doctors from across the country, the study sought to understand medical students’ perceptions and preferences concerning the NExT, especially in terms of how it would impact their academic journey.

Only 31% Indian Students Aware of NExT Exam

The survey, published in the Medical Science Educator journal, included 729 medical students, ranging from MBBS students to postgraduates, across various institutions in Delhi, Chennai, and Andhra Pradesh.

 One of the most striking revelations from the study is that a significant portion of students, 31%, are not fully aware of the NExT pattern and its intended purpose.

This lack of clarity points to a gap in communication and highlights the need for better dissemination of information to students who are about to be impacted by this monumental shift in medical education.

Preferences for NExT Role

The majority of students prefer the NExT to function primarily as a postgraduate entrance exam, rather than as the Third Professional Part 2 (final-year) theory exam.

According to the survey, 69.1% of participants believe that NExT Step 1 should serve as an entrance exam for postgraduate medical education, while 52.1% also see it as a medical licensing exam.

Interestingly, only 43.1% of students feel that NExT Step 1 should replace the traditional final-year theory exam, emphasizing the desire for clarity between licensure and postgraduate entrance exams.

Shift to MCQ-Based Examinations

The study also reveals a strong preference among students for a 100% MCQ-based exam format for theoretical university professional exams.

About 80.7% of respondents believe that adopting this format would help them better prepare for competitive exams like NExT Step 1, which is likely to be MCQ-based.

This preference aligns with the growing trend of standardized testing formats worldwide, as students feel it provides a more focused and efficient way to assess knowledge, as opposed to the traditional long-answer formats prevalent in many medical schools.

No limits on the number of attempts

In terms of logistics, the majority of students expressed a desire for NExT exam Step 1 to be conducted every six months. They also preferred it to be a 1-day exam, lasting for about 3 hours, rather than a prolonged multi-day examination. This preference reflects the students’ desire to reduce the stress and pressure associated with long exam durations and limited opportunities to retake the exam.

Notably, 60% of participants voiced support for having no limits on the number of attempts for NExT Step 1, a suggestion that would help alleviate the burden of facing a single, high-stakes exam.

Importance of Mock Tests and Self-Assessment

Furthermore, the study advocates for the inclusion of regular mock tests that simulate the NExT exam format.

The students believe that these mock tests, conducted at least three times a year, would serve as invaluable tools for both self-assessment and preparation.

By offering practice exams that mirror the actual test conditions, students can gain confidence and familiarize themselves with the types of questions and time constraints they will face.

 This approach would be similar to the self-assessment exams administered by the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) in the United States for students preparing for the USMLE.

Continuous Feedback and Adaptation

The research also highlights the importance of continuous feedback from all stakeholders—students, faculty, and examiners—to refine the NExT exam over time. The researchers note that feedback will be crucial to ensure that the exam evolves to meet the changing needs of the medical community.

Additionally, they stress the importance of giving students sufficient time to adjust to the new exam pattern. Introducing briefing sessions for both students and faculty could help align teaching methods with the new structure of the exam, ensuring that both educators and learners are prepared for the shift.

Time to Adjust Before Implementation

According to Bodmas Medical report NMC will implement NExT exam in the year 2025. The study’s findings reveal a consensus among students about the need for the NExT exam to be implemented thoughtfully and systematically.

Students not only want clear communication about the exam’s structure and timing but also wish for the exam to be flexible enough to cater to their diverse needs.

The researchers also emphasize that proper implementation of NExT should involve adequate time between its announcement and its first rollout, allowing students to prepare without undue anxiety.

DNB Admission has been started, know more details about Counselling process 

Delhi: Regarding this year’s DNB admissions, the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has published all the information related to the NEET PG counselling allotment process for All India Quota (AIQ), deemed universities, and central state quotas, in addition to MD, MS, and PG Diploma programs.
As per the information bulletin published on its official website by the MCC, individuals who have passed NEET PG 2024 can apply for DNB seats, and the MCC will not hold counselling for in-service candidates.

DNB Counseling Process

These rounds will be conducted by the MCC of DGHS, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MOHFW). Candidates who have qualified NEET PG conducted by National Board of Examinations (NBE) are eligible to participate in this counseling process.

In-service Seats and Non-MCC Counseling

It is important for candidates to note that the counseling for in-service seats under the DNB program is not conducted by the MCC of DGHS, MOHFW. Therefore, candidates seeking in-service seats should refer to the appropriate authority for guidance.

Admission Fee Payment

Once the seat allotment is made by the MCC of DGHS, the admission fee is collected by the NBE authorities. Candidates should direct any queries regarding the admission fee or payment process to NBE, as the MCC will not entertain any requests for refunds.

Reservation Policy for DNB Seats

1. Private DNB Colleges/Institutes:
   There is no reservation in private DNB colleges or institutes.
2. Government Institutes/Colleges:
   For government institutes/colleges that contribute seats to the DNB program under the Central Government, the following reservation policy will apply:

In an exciting development for students aspiring to pursue Homoeopathy as a career, the Ministry of Ayush has announced a 15% reduction in the minimum qualifying percentile for NEET-UG 2024 (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Undergraduate) for admission to BHMS (Bachelor of Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery) programs. This change will make more students eligible to apply for Homoeopathy courses, broadening access to medical education in the field of alternative medicine.

Alongside this reduction, the final admission deadline for both Undergraduate (UG) and Postgraduate (PG) courses in Homoeopathy has been extended to 20th December 2024, allowing students more time to complete their admissions. Let’s dive into what this change means, how it affects candidates, and the details about the new NEET cutoff for BHMS admissions.

What Has Changed with the NEET Percentile for BHMS?

Previously, students needed to meet a certain minimum percentile in NEET-UG 2024 to qualify for BHMS admissions. These percentiles (15% reduction in BHMS) were set by the Ministry of Ayush, and candidates who scored below the required cutoff were not eligible for admission. The new policy, however, reduces the qualifying percentile by 15 percentage points across all categories.

Here’s what this means in terms of NEET scores:

Old NEET Cutoff Scores for BHMS 2024

• General and EWS Categories: 162
• SC/ST/OBC Categories: 127
• General PWD Category: 45% of the maximum marks

New NEET Cutoff Scores for BHMS 2024 After 15% Reduction

• General and EWS Categories: 111
• SC/ST/OBC Categories: 76
• General PWD Category: Reduced by 15 percentile

This reduction significantly lowers the cutoff scores for candidates in all categories. In the case of General and EWS categories, the qualifying score has dropped from 162 to 111. For SC, ST, and OBC candidates, the score drops from 127 to 76. The adjustment allows many students who had slightly missed the cutoff in the past to now qualify for BHMS programs.

How Will This Benefit Aspiring Students?

The reduction in the minimum qualifying percentile means that more students will now be able to apply for BHMS courses. Those who previously did not meet the cutoff by a narrow margin—perhaps because of exam stress, a challenging paper, or other external factors—can now pursue their dreams of becoming homeopathic doctors.

For example, under the old system, General category candidates needed to score 162 marks to qualify. After the 15% reduction in BHMS, the new cutoff is 111 marks, a decrease of 51 marks. This change increases access to Homoeopathy education for a larger number of aspirants.

Minority Colleges Fee Hike: The Uttar Pradesh government recently released the NEET PG fee structure for minority colleges for the 2024-25 academic year, revealing significant increases across various MD/MS programs.

The fee hikes in Uttar Pradesh’s five minority medical colleges—four Muslim minority institutions and one Jain minority institution—have primarily affected MD and MS programs across various specialties.

This restructuring comes at a time when the demand for specialized medical professionals is high, and the financial commitment for students pursuing these careers is intensifying.

The largest Fee Hike is ₹5,95,000

The largest fee hike among minority colleges for the 2024-25 academic year is ₹5,95,000, with fee increases across various MD and MS programs ranging from ₹1,00,000 to ₹5,95,000.

The Integral Institute of Medical Sciences and Research has marked the most significant increase, with the MS Ophthalmology program seeing this peak hike.

New Fee Structure of minority medical college:

Teererthanker Mahave University, Moradabad (Jain Minority)

F.H. Medical College & Hospital, Agra (Muslim Minority)

Career Institute of Medical Sciences (Muslim Minority)

Era University (Muslim Minority)

Integral Institute of Medical Sciences & Research (Muslim Minority)

NEET PG Minority Colleges Fee hike

• Integral Institute of Medical Sciences and Research: With fee hikes reaching up to ₹5,95,000 in some programs, this college has recorded the most substantial increases. MD/MS programs in Orthopaedics, Radiology, Dermatology, and ENT have also seen major adjustments, emphasizing a considerable rise in cost for prospective students.
• Teerthanker Mahaveer University (Jain Minority): The fee increase ranges from ₹1,80,000 across various programs, affecting specialties like Psychiatry, Anesthesia, and Obstetrics & Gynecology. This relatively moderate hike reflects the rising demand for these programs.
• Era University and F.H. Medical College: With fee hikes of up to ₹3,90,000, these institutions have seen significant adjustments, particularly in high-demand areas such as General Surgery and Orthopaedics.

Impact on Students and Families

This Minority Colleges Fee hike could lead to increased financial pressure on students and their families, especially those from middle-income backgrounds. For many aspiring medical professionals, the high cost of education can lead to financial burdens, including large educational loans.

The elevated fees may also impact the choice of specialization for students, pushing them toward programs with relatively lower costs rather than those aligned with their interests or career aspirations.

Telangana PG counselling: In Telangana, over 4,000 MBBS graduates from Andhra Pradesh have been faced with a significant obstacle in pursuing their postgraduate (PG) medical education following recent changes under Government Order (GO) 148, which have impacted their eligibility for Telangana PG counselling.

Due to the revised regulations, these graduates are now barred from applying for PG counselling within Telangana, even though they completed their MBBS in the state.

As a result, widespread concern has been generated among the students, who have begun urging the Telangana government to reconsider this policy and restore their eligibility for Telangana PG counselling.

 Impact on Telangana PG Counselling

Under GO 148, students who completed their education outside Telangana, even if they earned an MBBS degree within the state, have now been reclassified as non-locals for Telangana PG counselling.

Consequently, they are unable to participate in PG counselling in Telangana, which has left many Andhra Pradesh students with limited options for advancing their education. Furthermore, these students, who had spent nearly a decade in Telangana’s education system, have felt unjustly excluded from opportunities within Telangana PG counselling.

Dr. Siva Rama Krishna, a medical graduate affected by this change, expressed frustration, stating, “We have been involved in the Telangana education system from 2014 until 2023, but we are currently shut out from further educational opportunities within the State.”

A Non-Local Status Dilemma in Telangana PG Counselling

One of the primary grievances among these students is their lack of local status in any state, which has effectively excluded them from Telangana PG counselling. Although Andhra Pradesh does not consider them local because they completed their MBBS in Telangana, Telangana’s new regulation now also prevents their participation in Telangana PG counselling.

Thus, despite having studied for years in Telangana, these students find themselves unable to pursue further medical education through Telangana PG counselling or within Andhra Pradesh. This dilemma is seen as particularly troubling since no other Indian state has implemented similar residency rules barring graduates from local PG admissions.

Appeal for a Grace Period in Telangana PG Counselling

In response, the affected students have petitioned the Telangana government to implement a grace period that would restore their eligibility for Telangana PG counselling. It is argued by the students that this abrupt policy shift has disproportionately impacted earlier MBBS batches who could not have anticipated this change.

Broader Implications for Medical Education and Telangana PG Counselling

Furthermore, this policy shift has raised questions about the residency criteria used in Telangana PG counselling and its effect on non-local students.

Since Telangana has historically attracted a diverse student body, including students from Andhra Pradesh, the GO 148 regulation could now potentially discourage future enrolment if students feel uncertain about their ability to access Telangana PG counselling after graduation.

Thus, it is anticipated that Telangana’s educational appeal might be affected by the implementation of GO 148.

Looking Forward: Will Telangana Revise GO 148 for PG Counselling?

It is hoped by students and advocacy groups alike that the Telangana government will address the eligibility issue surrounding Telangana PG counselling. By introducing a grace period or adjusting the local status criteria, Telangana may be able to prevent the disruption in academic plans for its medical graduates.

For the time being, these 4,000 affected students continue to await a response, maintaining their advocacy for a fair solution to the barriers unexpectedly imposed by GO 148 on their eligibility for Telangana PG counselling.
