Medical Career FAQs — Government Medical College, Ernakulam

AISHE data on medical education documents the distribution of government versus private medical seats at NMC-recognised institutions and the cohort-wise passout rates — statistics published annually at aishe.gov.in that contextualise the MBBS programme within the national medical education picture.

• What is the NEXT examination? The National Exit Test (NEXT) replaces the USMLE-pattern exit exam for MBBS graduates. It determines licensing and PG admission. Preparation typically starts from the third year of MBBS.
• Is PG admission competitive after MBBS from here? PG admission through NEET-PG is competitive regardless of the medical college — it is a merit-based national examination. Strong clinical preparation during MBBS is more important than the college's ranking.
• Can I practise medicine in another state after graduating here? Yes — NMC/MCI-recognised MBBS is valid for medical council registration across India. State-specific registration is required for practice in each state.

NEET-PG qualifying percentile for admission to PG courses is set at 50 percentile for general category, 45 percentile for general-PwD, and 40 percentile for SC/ST/OBC/OBC-PwD/SC-PwD/ST-PwD; this threshold is uniform across all NMC-recognised MBBS graduates and is published annually by the National Board of Examinations.
