To Be A Doctor Students May Have To Appear For Another Exam After MBBS

Soon NEET (National Eligibility-cum Entrance Test ) will not be enough for one to become a doctor or pursue higher medical education. NEET will not be considered as a qualifying examination for MBBS graduates to study at post graduate level or to practice medicine. So, MBBS candidates will have to clear another medical exam called National Licentiate Examination (NLE) to become a doctor.

The government in the National Medical Commission Bill has suggested that students have to clear about NLE (National Licentiate Examination) after completing MBBS to practice in diverse medical colleges.

Government officials in the National Medical Commission Bill, have proposed NLE to evaluate MBBS graduates on the lines of skill tests conducted to hire teachers.

NITI Aayog Proposed To Introduce NLE

"We felt that the test will force the institutions to introduce quality as questions would be raised if a large number of students fail to clear the test. Only those who clear the test will get license to practice," said a senior member of NITI Aayog.

For the first time, NITI ( National Institution for Transforming India ) Aayog suggested to introduce NLE to evaluate graduates from medical colleges in India.

In the draft bill, the NITI Aayog revamp the medical education system in the country by introducing new exams, along with focusing on devising uniform academic and examination standards for more than 450 medical colleges in India.

The draft bill also proposed for setting up separate undergraduate and postgraduate boards for medicine education to oversee all its aspects. The bill also proposes to regularly rate medical colleges on the basis of their performance and infrastructure.

There will be Aadhar based national register of all doctors and medical students in the country and new medical colleges will be set up after the approval of the concerned accreditation body.

The decision to form a new law was made after receiving a report from a Parliamentary Committee described MCI as an ‘opaque and ossified body’, which was unable in carrying out its enormous work of regulating medicine education in the country.

NEET Cancelled | What Are The Pros And Cons?

The Supreme Court of India on Thursday quashed the MCI (Medical Council Of India) notifications for holding a common entrance exam NEET (National Eligibility Entrance Test) for MBBS, BDS and post-graduation medical courses.

Reasons to start NEET:

The NEET system was started to overcome the problems of students. In order to take admission into country’s leading medical institutions and reputed colleges, students needed to appear in around 10-15 medical entrance examinations. In second step, students called Simran Jain to file a PIL in Supreme Court for two examinations being held on the same day. The court asked MCI if it is possible for the whole country to have one common entrance exam. Then in 2013 NEET was conducted which was the single test for all medical and dental courses. NEET was first time introduced in the year 2013 by CBSE (Central Board Of Secondary Education).

Prior to NEET, exams like, AIIMS, BHU, AIPMT Prelims and Mains, AFMC, JIPMER and AMU were conducted at the country level. Apart from these exams, different states and all Private Medical Colleges of the country used to conduct their own Medical entrance examination. In order to save money, time and reduce pressure from the shoulders of aspirants, Indian government and MCI introduced NEET as a common Medical entrance examination.

Let us see the Pros and Cons of NEET:

Pros:

The bottom line of NEET is one Nation, one exam and one exam for all medical institutions.

The major point is, there is no difference in syllabus of any of the state graduates as all candidates will have same curriculum.

Student will write for single exam and can apply for diverse institutes and colleges with same test score.  

Selling of medical seats in the market can be prevented as all the seats will be filled through NEET. 

NEET will save time and money and students will get rid of multiple entrance exams. Hence it will reduce the pressure from the shoulders of candidates.

NEET marks will also help in taking easily admission into several Private Medical Colleges of the country.

In AIPMT Prelims, students needed to solve 200 questions in just 3 hours while in NEET only 180 questions are asked for the same duration of time. So, students get more time in NEET.

Cons:

The basic and major disadvantage of NEET is if a student misses to appear in the NEET, then he will have to wait entire year for appearing in the exam.

Another point is to conduct NEET only in a single session. Of course we know in such a large Nation with about one lakh students are appearing for the examination, it’s a Herculean task to conduct it in a single session, but it  should be one of the policy of NEET that there should be only one session where no candidate acquire any undue benefit or loss.

Once all the slip-ups are cleared, NEET will be the definite answer for the admissions into medical colleges or universities all over the country to make admission process transparent and corruption free.

NEET-No Separate Medical Entrance Exams In State

Undergraduate admission to medical courses can only be done through National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET), the Supreme Court said on Monday. In a major decision with regard to NEET, the Supreme Court on Monday said that the students who could not appear in NEET 1 would be allowed to appear in NEET 2, scheduled for July 24. 

Only NEET would enable candidates to get admission to MBBS or BDS studies. In accordance with the court order, CBSE’s AIPMT on May 1 was considered as the first phase of NEET wherein over six lakh students had appeared. 

On April 28, 2016, the Supreme Court put to rest all confusion by modifying its order by which it had allowed Centre and CBSE to conduct a single common entrance test for admission to MBBS and BDS courses through National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET).

The top court had approved the schedule put before it by the Centre, CBSE and Medical Medical Council of India (MCI) for treating All India Pre-Medical Test (AIPMT) fixed for May 1 as NEET-1. With this clarification the court had made it clear that all other admission tests, already held or scheduled for later for admission to diverse government colleges, deemed universities, minority and linguistic minority colleges, private medical colleges, stand scrapped. 

Later, the state governments, including Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Jammu and Kashmir, sought a modification of this order to enable them conduct their separate exam for this year. But the five Judge bench on Monday said, "Only NEET would enable students' to get admission to MBBS or BDS studies"
