Medical Students wanting to pursue post-graduate courses may
get relief as Union Health Ministry has proposed to scrap off NEET-PG. According
to Union
Health Ministry, final MBBS examination would be the criteria for admission to
MD and MS programmes.
As told to PTI by official sources, the above amendments have
been updated in the revised draft National Medical Commission (NMC) Bill which
would be sent to the Cabinet soon. These changes have been made under the
directives given by the Prime Minister's Office (PMO). According to fresh amendments,
admission into the PG
programmes will be on the basis of the results of the National Exit Test
(NEXT), which would be held as a common exam across the country. So the
candidates need not appear in a separate exam after clearing the MBBS final
exam for admission to PG courses.
