Hello aspirant,

The Union Health Ministry has said that steps for the conduction of the NExT (National Exit Test)  are being taken so that it can be conducted in the first half of  the year 2023.

NeXT will act as the qualifying final for MBBS students, which they will have to qualify in order to obtain a license to practice modern medicine in the country of India.

So if your MBBS studies are not going to be completed before 2023, yes there is a chance you will have to write the NExt.

wishing you all the best!
