The National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test-Postgraduate examination will likely be held in the first week of July and the counselling in the first week of August. According to the media report National Exit Test (NExT) will not be held this year.
The counselling will likely begin in the first week of August. According to the recently notified “Post-Graduate Medical Education Regulations, 2023” which have replaced the Postgraduate Medical Education (Amendment) Regulations, 2018, the existing NEET-PG examination will continue until the proposed NExT becomes operational for PG admission.
What is the National Exit Test (NExT)?
The NExT is a medical exam, which was proposed to replace the existing NEET PG for admission to medical postgraduate courses and FMGE for issuing certificates of practice in India who pursued medical education abroad. Candidates will be evaluated on both theoretical and practical skills.
The sources suggest that the NEET PG 2024 exam date is deferred. A detailed notification regarding the revised exam date is expected anytime soon.
