The NeXT, a common qualifying examination, for Final year MBBS students, and simultaneously licentiate exam, will be introduced in 2023 by the Indian Government. The proposal to create a common examination came into being on 25th September 2020 through the National Medical Commission Act, 2019.

The NeXT will be a common qualifying exam that will grant permission to practice medicine in India and will serve as the criteria for merit-based allocation of post-graduate seats in broad specialties. Further, the exam will bridge the gap between students from foreign institutions willing to practice medicine in India.

A senior Central government official stated that if NeXT is introduced in the education system, then, it will do away with the need to conduct NEET PG. The official also stated that the commission plans to implement a mock test before implementing the final exam to test the procedures and remove the anxiety among medical students.
