The National Eligibility-cum Entrance Test (NEET) is no longer enough to be a doctor or continue higher education in field of Medicine. The government in the National Medical Commission Bill has proposed that students will have to clear the National Licentiate Examination (NLE) after completing graduation to practice and it will also serve as NEET for admission in post graduate courses.
The MCI itself is now monitored by a Supreme Court appointed a three-member committee headed by former Chief Justice of India RM Lodha. A senior functionary of NITI Aayog said,
"We feel that the test will force the medical institutes 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 practise."
Tamil News Channel confirms it
The work on the new law for Medical institutes is under discussion and soon an official confirmation will be made in this regard. Similarly New Medical college will be allowed only after approval of accreditation body. There will also be Aadhaar based National register of all doctors and medical students in the country.
