UPDATE January 2022 : As of now there has been no new update regarding NExT exam , probably due to covid. The guidelines , pattern , number of attempts of the exam are not yet released by the NBE. The answer below was written when this NExT exam was announced so the points written below may not hold relevance today. There will be a scope for improvement of score as per the latest rumours. Anyways , I don’t think that NExT will be implemented for 2017 , 2018 batch atleast and these batches should prepare keeping NEET PG pattern in mind!
NEET PG vs NEXT
a) 19 VS 4 Subjects
Earlier all 19 Subjects assessed the doctors knowledge but now only 4 subjects. Also there is only one year to study these Long Subjects so its kind of a gamble for us.
b) MBBS students may ignore 1st and 2nd year subjects and may have less knowledge of basic sciences.
c) It will be easy for foreign graduates to get license. God knows what they study. Thats why only a fraction of foreign graduates were able to pass MCI exam.
