After the webinar, conducted on 27th June 2023 and release of the gazette on National Exit Test Regulations 2023, the entire medical fraternity is continuously raising their concern on social media platforms over the implementation of NExT & Mock test that is scheduled on 28th July 2023 and demanding its withdrawal through protest from different colleges of the country. Several protests were also reported on the doctors day.
Today, the Education Minister Dr Mansukh Mandaviya was addressing the MBBS students of AIIMS Raipur. During the session, a student raised her concern over the stress and anxiety faced by 2019 batch students over the implementation of NExT. In response to this question, He said that there will be no next exam for 2019 batch, they will get the degree after MBBS but they will have to give NExT for registration of their degree.
After this statement, the students are thanking Dr Mandaviya while few are still in confusion over his statement and they are demanding proper clarification over this by the NMC. Dr. Meet Ghonia ( Ex National Vice President, MSN ) suggested students to keep preparing for the exam instead of wasting time, but he also added that NMC is trying to change the things in favour of students.
