The NMC introduced the FMGE/ NEXT Exam for foreign medical graduates and it is a licensing test for students to practice in India. This exam is conducted for the applicants who have completed an MBBS degree from foreign medical universities.

It is a centralized common exam for all medical graduates, applicants need to qualify to practice or join the postgraduate program in medicine. The main to conduct the examination is to meet the following needs,

1. Provide license to practice in India.
2. Applicants can apply for PG Medical programs like MD, MS, etc.
3. Students need to qualify for the NEXT Exam only rather than FMGE Exam or NEET PG exam.

The NMC is proposed to replace the FMGE exam & NEET PG with the National Exit Test (NEXT Exam) and it will count as the qualifying final exam for MBBS students. Applicants need to get a good NEXT Exam Score which is used for MD or MS Admission or other postgraduate medical courses. Basically, it is the most important examination for Indian applicants as well as foreign medical students.
