I have been helping students preparing for Foreign Medical Graduates Examination/ Screening examination/ NExT, through my books, my (charity) coaching classes and my mobile App, that too singly, since 2011.

In the year 2009, I started working on my popular book SELF ASSESSMENT & REVIEW OF FMGE/ MCI SCREENING EXAM. After working for nearly 18 months, the first edition of this book was released on 18.01.2011. And by God grace & students support, it was a great hit.

After the release of my book in 2011, students were impressed, and they continuously forced me to start coaching classes. But since I do not want to make it a money affair, I took my time. I don't want to involve any other faculty in my classes so that fees can be kept to a minimum possible. Also, I do not like anyone to interfere in my style of working. After taking a long time, I launched my classes on 07.12.2011.

While preparing the list, it was very difficult for me to arrange the names. One may feel bad, if his/ her name is lower down in the list. All students are my favorites and I do not want to be biased while preparing the list. So, I chose to arrange the name in alphabetical order. Main purpose of this list is to compile information about all my dear students in one place. Also, it will highlight the fact that Foreign Medical Graduates are no less than anybody else.

I would like to thank all my dear students, who have supported all my efforts blindly. I am also thankful to thousands of people whom I have never seen, but who have wished for my success & well-being.

There is a lot of curiosity regarding NExT (National Exit Test). Many people are sharing valuable knowledge regarding NExT, but that is in general. I mean, it's for all, Indian Medical Graduates (IMG) & Foreign Medical Graduates (FMG). In my discussion, I will be highlighting how NExT is going to affect FMGs. 

As per the NMC Act 2019, NExT was supposed to be implemented from 2022, but because of Covid-19, there has been a delay of 1 year and now NExT is proposed to be implemented in 2023. 

Currently FMGs need to appear in FMGE/ Screening examination for FMGs, so as to start internship or to get registration in State Medical Council/ SMC & license to practice in India.

NExT intends to replace FMGE/ Screening examination for FMGs. 

After coming back to India, FMGs has to appear in NExT-1, which is going to be an Online-MCQ based exam, conducted by some national testing agency (like NBE). The proposed curriculum, exam pattern & time duration is summarized in the table below (best viewed in landscape mode): 

Day	Time	Subjects	Time	No. of Qs
I	Pre-Lunch	Medicine, Dermatology & Psychiatry	3 hours	120
I	Post-Lunch	Pediatrics	1.5 hours	60
II	Pre-Lunch	Surgery, Orthopedics & Anesthesia	3 hours	120
II	Post-Lunch	ENT	1.5 hours	60
III	Pre-Lunch	Obstetrics, Gynecology & Radiology	3 hours	120
III	Post-Lunch	Ophthalmology	1.5 hours	60
Total			13.5 hours	540

Pattern of NExT-1: NExT-1 intends to check your theoretical concepts learnt during MBBS. Content of paper: 

• Problem solving questions: 60%;
• Comprehension & analysis: 30% 
• Recall: 10%. 

Out of 540 MCQs, 10% MCQs would be from PSM & 10% MCQs would be from Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry, Pathology, Pharmacology & Microbiology (No Forensic Medicine, it seems).

FMGs need to clear NExT-1 first following which they would be eligible to do internship. If an FMG does not clear NExT-1, he/ she cannot start internship. Also, if their score is good, they can join PG course as well, after clearing NExT-2.

After completing internship, FMGs are supposed to clear NExT-2 as well to get license to practice/ join PG-seat. This would be conducted in the medical college, from where one has completed his/ her internship. 

Pattern of NExT-2: It is supposed to be a practical exam, which might include clinical case presentations & viva voce. NExT-2 intends to check your clinical knowledge learnt during internship. 

Until & unless, one clears NExT-2, he/ she would not be able to get license or PG seat, no matter he/ she has qualified NExT-1. Students can re-appear in both NExT-1 & NExT-2 (any number of times), but those who had qualified NExT-1, need to clear NExT-2 within 3 years, otherwise their result of NExT-1 would become null and then they had to appear in NExT-1 again.

Result of NExT-1: 

• Pass: Further step depends on validity of your internship done from your college of MBBS
  • Un-valid internship: Proceed for internship from India and then appear in NExt-2
  • Valid internship (Nepal, Bangladesh etc.): Further step, depends on your PG rank:
    • Good rank: Pick a PG seat and start working as PG-resident
    • Bad rank/ No rank: Prepare for next year's NExT-1 exam/ start working as JR in some hospital (your choice)
  • Fail: Better luck next time for NExT-1

Result of NExT-2:

• Pass:
  • Register in State Medical Council & start practice/ job
  • If score in NExT-1 was good & you were in merit, join PG course
• Fail: Re-appear in NExT-2

FMGs would be the ones who would benefit the most from the implementation of NExT. This exam will eliminate any scope of partiality between IMGs & FMGs. Moreover, if someone scores good in NExT-1, not only he/ she will qualify for internship, but also, he/ she can opt for a good PG seat later on (depending on merit rank). So double benefit with one exam (which is not the case with current FMGE/ Screening examination)

Exact details are awaited. To clear doubts of students regarding NExT, a mock run of the NExT would be conducted in 2022, so that students can prepare well in the next one year for 2023 NExT-1.
