• NMS is the base book published by USMLE which provide a syllabus and study material in Medical School in USA. (like NCERT books in secondary Board in India)
• There will be common syllabus & MCI will provide NMS like base books for MBBS & NEET in India in near future (within 2-3 yrs.) (like NCERT books in secondary Board). That will be your base book and syllabus for MBBS and NEET.
• Many professors may come up with their own modified and enhanced books based on common syllabus and base books provided by MCI for MBBS.(same like BRS,KAPLANS, HIGH YIELD etc..)

"MCI looking into the need to modify curricula, increase seats in post-graduate Courses "
NEW DELHI, July 21, 2011
Chairman of Medical Council of India K. K. Talwar and former Director of CCMB P. M. Bhargava at a meeting in Hyderabad on Sunday
Dr. Talwar said MCI is looking into the need to modify curricula in tune with the needs of the country and increase seats in the Post-Graduate Courses to make MBBS more attractive.
He expressed concern that bright students were not joining MBBS, mainly because they were unsure of pursuing PG course. Pointing out that there were 10-12,000 PG seats, while the MBBS graduates were around 40,000, he stressed the need to increase the PG seats accordingly.
MCI BOG member DR Purushottam Lal said that the MCI will prepare the course structure for the test and put it on the website for comments of people. He also added that the decision came in the wake of the Supreme Court orders to the MCI to go ahead with one test for postgraduate medical admissions to avoid stress to students.
