NExT 2025 dates will be announced by National Medical Commission (NMC). Reportedly, NExT exam will be held in August 2025 for the first time. The exam will be held in 2025 for 2020 batch final year MBBS students. Earlier, National Medical Commission (NMC) said, NExT Step 1 exam will be held in February 2028 for 2024 batch MBBS students. Recently NMC released National Exit Test Regulations, 2023 comprising important details such as eligibility criteria, syllabus, and exam pattern. NExT MBBS exam dates comprise timeline of crucial events such as exam date, admit card release, result declaration etc. With NExT date, candidates can plan things in advance. Date for NExT mock exam was released, i.e July 28, 2023. But NMC later decided to cancel the mock practice test and refund registration fee of candidates who had applied for mock exam online.
