Gonna get downvoted but have to say it anyway
I get it, everyone's entitled to their opinion so here's mine..
I don't understand the hate around NExT, honestly I feel it's a boon and we all should be thankful it's starting from our batch. Here are some reasons why.
No more long answers. I used to hate uni exam for the sole reason that we have to sit for 3 hours and write endless answers often upto 45-50 sheets.
Subject wise exams, better flow of thoughts in such exams, you can sit for a 3 hour stretch and concentrate on one subject only.
No more mugging up points, mugging up classifications aimlessly, now you need to understand and arrive at the answer, not just mindlessly remembering without knowing why. Eg - if you're used to mugging up complications, obviously you're gonna have a shit time studying, but if you can arrive at the complications based on your understanding of the disease, this will be a cakewalk.
Before you had to prepare for final prof and then spend an entire year preparing for NEET PG separately, now they're just asking you to prepare for both together saving you that extra 1 year of prep.
Standardization- all doctors in the entire country will be the same standard, equal in terms of knowledge, I don't understand how that's a bad thing.
They're promoting a new approach to studying medicine, which will make you a good clinician whatever specialty you end up in.
I feel all the people complaining about NExT are sore losers who just want the easiest way out of everything. And the same people who probably have been mugging up information and passing exams without a shit stain worth of clinical understanding.
As far as time is concerned, we have atleast 10 months which is a good amount of time to prepare considering we don't waste it whining and bickering about NExT.
