The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Health and Family Welfare recently reiterated the need for implementation of the National Exit Test (NExT) exam to ensure a uniform, standardised assessment of medical graduates across the country.
According to a recent PTI report, in its 167th report presented to the Rajya Sabha, the panel said NExT would bring a paradigm shift in medical education. The Committee also renewed its recommendation for an AIIMS-led mentorship framework, proposing that India be divided into zones with premier institutions such as AIIMS acting as mentor institutes for medical colleges within each zone.
