In the national medical commission bill the government has suggested that students are required to clear one more exam known as National Licentiate Examination (NLE) once they have completed their graduation education (MBBS). It will be required to give NLE exam if students wish to practice in various medical colleges after graduation. The same exam will also serve as NEET for getting admission in PG courses.
"We felt that the test will force the institutions 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 practice," said a senior member of NITI Aayog
Following are the propositions of NITI Aayog in NLE
- In the draft bill, the National Institution for Transforming India (NITI) Aayog gives the proposal for new tests and having uniform academic and examination standards for around 450 medical colleges in the country.
- For the first time, NITI Aayog suggested to introduce NLE to evaluate graduates from medical colleges, though its draft bill agrees with the view of Supreme Court on NEET, to be the only test for entry into medical colleges across India.
Quality in medical education is the main concern
- A senior member of NITI Aayog said, "The quality of education in medical college is an area of concern."
- "We felt that the test will force the institutions 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," he further added
