With the National Medical Commission (NMC) in place, students will be admitted based on score in the common final year <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/national-medical-commission-bill-gets-cabinet-nod-to-be-introduced-in-current-session-of-parliament/articleshow/70264838.cms">MBBS exam</a>, which will now be known as National Exit Test (NEXT). This means that the medical aspirants will no longer have to go through a separate examination to secure a licence to practice medicine, or to enroll in postgraduate programmes. In fact, NEXT will also be considered as a screening exam for foreign medical aspirants. In a bid to have uniformity across institutions, the bill also seeks to rope in All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) and Institute of National Importance (INIs) into the given criteria. “At present, we have NEET and entrance exams for AIIMS. Now, we will also have an exit exam that will be for everyone for getting a licence to practice medicine in the country," Mint <a href="https://www.livemint.com/politics/policy/cabinet-approves-bill-to-replace-mci-with-national-medical-commission-1563360408508.html">reported</a> citing Union minister <keyword id="119642" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Prakash-Javadekar">Prakash Javadekar</keyword>. The NMC, which will substitute the Medical Council of India(MCI), will be set up to take over the responsibilities of conducting common entrances for MBBS, streamlining the course and fees. Under this, the government will introduce fee relaxation for students enrolling in private institutions. “The Medical Assessment and Rating Board will grant permission for new medical colleges, starting PG courses and increasing seats based on the standards set by the UG and PG boards,” the Cabinet noted. The NMC will constitute three autonomous bodies — Under-Graduate Medical Education Board, Post-Graduate Medical Education Board, and Ethics and Medical Registration Board — which will focus on ensuring global standards of education. Every year, 80,000 students take admission in MBBS courses across the country. While 150,000 take the entrance examination to enroll in 50,000 seats for PG courses. The government recently <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/health-ministry-proposes-to-rule-out-neet-examination-for-md-and-ms/articleshow/70225109.cms">announced</a> a 26% increase in the number of seats for MBBS aspirants in the last two years — reserving nearly 5,000 seats for economically weaker sections.

<ul><li>The Health Ministry has proposed to drop NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Examination) for admission to MD and MS courses. </li><li>The admission will be based on the scores in the MBBS final examination and National Exit Test (NEXT). </li><li>The candidates wanting to enroll in PG courses in AIIMS will still have to go through the mandatory entrance exam. </li><li>NEET Super Speciality exam will also be mandatory to study Master of Surgery (Mch). </li></ul>MBBS pass outs might not have to go through an entrance exam to pursue post-graduate courses, if a proposal by Health Ministry goes through. It wants to drop NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Examination) for admission into MD (Doctor of Medicine) and MS (Master of Science) courses. If the draft National Medical Commission (NMC) bill goes through, students can be admitted based on score in the MBBS final examination and National Exit Test (NEXT), PTI<a href="https://www.thehindu.com/education/health-ministry-bill-proposes-to-axe-neet-pg/article28430886.ece"> reported</a>. They will also not be required to go through a separate examination to secure a licence to practice medicine, according to the proposed draft. The draft excludes All Indian Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) from the given criteria. The candidates wanting to enroll in PG courses in AIIMS will still have to go through the mandatory entrance exam. In addition to this, the NEET Super Speciality exam will also be mandatory to study Master of Surgery (Mch). The draft NMC Bill was tabled in the Parliament in 2017. It focussed at introducing a ‘bridge course’ that will enable medical practitioners of alternative medicine to pursue allopathy. However, it faced criticism from medical professionals and health associations in India. The bill was later revised with several amendments including aggressive punishments for unauthorised practice of medicine — a year long imprisonment or a fine of up to ₹500,000. However, to address the shortage of medical professionals, the government has <a href="https://indianexpress.com/article/education/4800-mbbs-seats-reserved-for-economically-weaker-students-5826733/">allocated 26% more seats</a> for MBBS aspirants in the last two years — reserving nearly 5,000 seats for economically weaker sections. Overall, nearly 80,000 students take admission in MBBS courses every year in 480 institutes across the country. Of this, 150,000 take the entrance examination to enroll in PG courses.

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"></div></div></div>Hillary Clinton&#xa0;cancelled several events scheduled&#xa0;for early this week as her campaign attempted to battle concerns&#xa0;about her health, while also taking fire for a&#xa0;recent remark she made about Donald Trump's supporters.The Clinton campaign went into full damage control mode&#xa0;after a <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/video-hillary-clinton-health-911-memorial-2016-9">video surfaced</a> of the the Democratic presidential nominee having difficulty walking&#xa0;while leaving&#xa0;a 9/11 memorial service in New York on Sunday.&#xa0;Several hours after the video was published, her&#xa0;physician <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/hillary-clintons-doctor-statement-health-pneumonia-2016-9">released a letter</a> revealing that the former secretary of state contracted&#xa0;pneumonia that caused her to get <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/hillary-clinton-911-memorial-overheated-ill-health-2016-9">overheated</a> during&#xa0;the 9/11 memorial event.The disclosure <a href="http://www.politico.com/story/2016/09/hillary-clinton-has-pneumonia-doctor-says-228012">frustrated some reporters</a> who felt Clinton's campaign purposefully obfuscated her illness, while simultaneously adding&#xa0;fuel&#xa0;to speculation about Clinton's health&#xa0;has been a fixation of mainly fringe right-wing&#xa0;media outlets for months."How they handled today was not good," said Evan Siegfried, a Republican strategist and author of <a href="https://www.amazon.com/GOP-GPS-Millennials-Republican-Survive/dp/1510717323">GOP GPS</a>. "Three different responses prior to pneumonia. Had they come out with it at first it would have quelled the chatter."Many Democrats, like former Obama spokesperson Dan Pfeiffer, rebuked concerns about Clinton's health, noting the normalcy of candidate illnesses and Clinton's&#xa0;<a href="https://twitter.com/jeneps/status/775103561273344000">packed campaign schedule</a>.<div></div><div></div>Clinton was the first major 2016 presidential candidate to&#xa0;disclose some of her health records, releasing a note from her doctor in 2015 detailing her <a href="http://www.politico.com/story/2015/07/hillary-clinton-health-excellent-doctor-letter-2016-campaign-120861">hypothyroidism and recovery from a 2012 concussion</a>. For his part, Trump has only publicly released a <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/08/27/the-strange-tale-of-donald-trumps-doctor-letter-just-got-stranger/">hastily-written</a> letter from his gastroenternologist proclaiming the Republican presidential nominee "will be the healthiest&#xa0;individual ever elected to the presidency."The pneumonia incident came&#xa0;at the end of one of the rougher recent weekends&#xa0;for the Clinton campaign since it opened up a notable lead of Trump in the polls following the Democratic National Convention in July. National polls&#xa0;show the race tightening, with Clinton's lead shrinking to 3 points in the RealClearPolitics average of recent polls, while in battleground states like Florida and Iowa, Trump holds a slight lead.On Friday, the former secretary of state amended comments from a gala in New York in which she characterized&#xa0;half of Trump's supporters as prejudiced in some form."To be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic - you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up," Clinton <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/hillary-clinton-basket-of-deplorables-donald-trump-2016-9">told an audience</a> during a speech about protecting&#xa0;LGBT rights.Though Clinton said that she <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/clinton-regrets-deplorables-comment-2016-9">regretted generalizing</a>, and empathized with many Trump supporters experiencing economic hardship, Trump quickly condemned his rival's&#xa0;dismissal of his supporters, saying that she showed "bigotry" and "hatred for millions of Americans.""How can she be President of our country when she has such contempt and disdain for so many great Americans?" <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-hillary-clinton-deplorables-comment-worst-mistake-2016-9">Trump said</a>. "Hillary Clinton should be ashamed of herself and this proves beyond a doubt that she is unfit and incapable to serve as President of the United States."<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"></div></div></div>Matthew Mackowiak, President of Potomac Strategist&#xa0;and&#xa0;a vocal critic of Trump and Clinton, said the campaign's handling of Clinton's pneumonia&#xa0;and the deplorables comment&#xa0;"gives Trump the chance to make her play defense.""The bizarre communications failure exhibited by her campaign has united the Trump campaign and the media, which was an impossible task," Mackowiak said.He added: "I don't necessarily think that 'deplorables' comment or the health scare are a 'voting issue,' but the net impact will be further tightening of the polls, Hillary on defense, and a virtuous cycle for Trump, all leading into the first debate."&#xa0;But some on the left think Clinton's comments may not be bad for the campaign in the long run.Georgetown Institute of <keyword id="6358883" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Politics">Politics</keyword> Executive Director Mo Elleithee told Business Insider that when Trump is talking about the behavior of supporters who express racist sentiments, he's reminding some voters who remain on the fence that they're joining ranks with voters with questionable biases."The Trump campaign is falling into a trap.&#xa0;They said they're making this the focus of the week. If that means we're spending the next week talking about how many racists are&#xa0;supporting Trump and why, then the Clinton folks should be pretty happy," Elleithee said in an email.Others like&#xa0;former Obama advisor Steve Schale say&#xa0;that they're&#xa0;"honestly not convinced anything matters," asserting&#xa0;that he doubts many voters convinced of conspiracy theories about Clinton's health will be swayed by notes from her doctor."Voters have largely gone to their camps, meaning there are only a handful of voters still up for grabs.&#xa0;For many of these folks, much of this day to day is just noise," Schale said.He added: "The debates are an important moment. It is her chance to look strong and composed, and it is his chance to convince voters that he can be president. That first debate in New York will mean far more than anything either candidate has done over the last few weeks." <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/james-carville-rant-hillary-clinton-foundation-trump-2016-8">'PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DIE': James Carville goes on an impassioned rant in defense of the Clinton Foundation</a></h3> <div> <div> <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="NrcHhoNTE6x7QbEHoIiE-r6furK-K5x0" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div> </div> </div> </div>
