The National Medical Commission's (NMC) new NEXT gazette has caused a stir among medical students and professionals alike. The new regulations state that if a student fails one paper in May 2024, they will have to appear again in the November 2024 cycle. This means that if a student clears the exam in November, they will have to wait until May/June 2026 to sit for counseling or the NEXT 2 exam.

In addition, there will be two university practical exams, one before internship and one after internship. Furthermore, a student will have to pass NEXT 1 and NEXT 2 within 10 years. The new regulations also require a minimum of 50% marks to pass NEXT 1, which is higher than the average NEET PG.

The new regulations also state that a candidate with fewer attempts will have a higher rank in a tie. These changes have led to concerns among medical students and professionals, who feel that the NMC is causing mental torture to medical students.

The NMC's new regulations have been met with criticism from medical students and professionals. Many feel that the regulations are too stringent and will cause undue stress and pressure on students. The new regulations have also led to concerns about the quality of medical education in India, as students will have to pass two exams within 10 years to become licensed doctors.

In conclusion, the new NEXT gazette has caused a lot of controversy among medical students and professionals. While the NMC's intentions may be to improve the quality of medical education in India, the new regulations have led to concerns about the mental health of medical students and the quality of medical education. It is important for the NMC to consider the concerns of medical students and professionals and make changes that are in the best interest of all stakeholders.
