Fake Claims Made

The National Medical Commission (NMC) debunked the notice, calling it ‘fake’. Mentioned below are the actual facts regarding the NEXT Exam.

• The actual number of questions in this exam is 540, as earlier announced by the NMC earlier.
• According to the latest genuine and authentic reports, the subjects that make up the syllabus of the NEXT Exam include Medical and Allied, Surgery and Allied, ENT, Ophthalmology, Pediatrics, Obstetrics, and Gynecology and not the 19 clinical, pre, and para clinical subjects.

The facts regarding the marking scheme and the December 2022 exam date is the only genuine aspect in this otherwise “fake” notice.
