MBBS pass outs may take Exit Exam

Health Ministry is considering conducting an exit exam for MBBS pass outs in a bid to improve the quality of doctors produced in the country and  reduce the disparity among students graduating from both private and government medical colleges.

The exit exam is also supposed to be based on an 'all-India chapter' for doctors qualifying the exit exam, which would mean that the doctors who currently get themselves registered with the state chapter of Medical Council of India (MCI) could simply get their registration transferred now.

The FMGE that is being conducted as a qualifying exam for Indian students with a medical degree will now be used as a voluntary Exit exam.

With the introduction of the exit exam, their scores and not colleges will decide if they can practice or not.

The exit exam aims at monitoring the quality of MBBS doctors entering .
