Aspirants who have qualified their graduation in MBBS from abroad can replace the FMGE, Foreign Medical Graduate Exam and can also practice medicine in India by taking NEXT seriously.
NEXT will have a standardised test that includes a common entrance test, licentiate and screening test with a common counselling process for admission to MBBS or PG medical courses across India.
