National Exit Test (NExT) to be made mandatory for BDS graduates for licence to practice and dental PG courses

The Hindu  

With the aim of regulating the profession of dentistry in India, provide quality and affordable dental education, and make high quality oral healthcare more accessible, the Union Government is planning to make the National Exit Test mandatory for dental graduates to grant licence to practise dentistry, and for admission to post-graduate dental courses. According to the Bill, a common final-year undergraduate dental examination, to be known as the ‘National Exit Test ’ will be held for granting licence to practise dentistry and for enrolment in the ‘State Register or the National Register’. Till the time NExT becomes operational, all admissions to PG courses of Master of Dental Surgery in all institutions will be through National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test. The National Dental Commission Bill, 2023 has proposed that the National Dental Commission will replace the Dental Council of India, the apex dental education regulatory body in India.
