New Delhi, July 6

Union health minister on Thursday said the National Exit Test, proposed by the National medical Commission, will not happen this year and so the 2019 MBBS batch will not be required to take it.

Addressing students of AIIMS Raipur today, Mandaviya said NeXT, scheduled to finally replace the NEET PG and final year MBBS exams, will not be held this year.

“Students don’t need to take stress. I am not bringing the 2019 MBBS batch into NeXt. I will bring it for the 2020 batch. There will be no NeXT this year,” Mandaviya said.

Earlier NMC had announced that AIIMS New Delhi will conduct NeXT in two stepsstep 1 and 2 twice a year and the students who took MBBS admissions in 2019 will be the first to sit for it. Doctors thanked Mandaviya for the remarks with several tweets on the issue.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
