The NEET-PG is an eligibility-cum-ranking examination held every year. It has been prescribed as the single entrance examination for admission to various MD/MS and Post-Graduation diploma courses under the National Medical Commission Act, 2019.

Meanwhile, the National Exit Test (NExT) has also been postponed by at least a year and is now expected to begin in 2025. It was earlier scheduled to commence in 2023.

As per the recently notified Post-Graduate Medical Education Regulations, 2023, the existing NEET-PG examination will continue till the proposed National Exit Test becomes operational for postgraduate admission.

The National Exit Test was designed as a substitute for both NEET-PG and FMGE to evaluate the theoretical knowledge and practical skills of the eligible candidates through a two-part exam.
