The first batch of Indian Medical Graduates (IMG) under the new curriculum of the National Medical Commission (NMC) will complete the course very soon. Though the overall impact of the curriculum on these graduates has yet to be evaluated, there are a few publications on this impact after the completion of the first and second phases of this curriculum. From the student's perspective, it was a promising one. Teaching modules in the curriculum, like interactive teaching, integrated learning, microteaching, early clinical exposure, student clerkship, electives, and family adoption programmes, are effective for holistic learning. Different methods of assessment are also useful. A few studies observed a few lacunae in the existing infrastructure and training of faculties. The COVID-19 pandemic also hindered the implementation of the curriculum in the last session. So, it will not be proper to judge the curriculum based on the performance of this batch. One will have to wait to see the impact of the curriculum on a future batch that pursues the curriculum from the beginning to the end without any interruption.
