Foreign Medical Graduates Examination (FMGE) is a national level exam conducted by the National Board of Examinations (NBE). Yes, FMGE is a compulsory licensure test for every student who holds a foreign degree in medicine and wants to practice medicine in India. The syllabus of this exam covers the MBBS course pre-medical, para-clinical and clinical. FMGE is conducted twice a year online and the exam duration is usually 2 hours and 30 minutes per paper.

FMGE Eligibility Criteria

The National Board of Examinations (NBE) has a set of guidelines for the candidates appearing the exam:

Ø  Foreign medical graduates must be a citizen of India or should be Overseas Citizens of India.

Ø  The candidate should possess a primary medical qualification, which is confirmed by the Indian Embassy concerned, to be a recognized qualification for enrolment as a medical practitioner in the country.

Ø  Candidates from Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States of America and Australia are not required to take the FMGE exam.

Why is FMGE a Hard Nut to Crack?

Accepting the truth that most foreign medical graduates have all the potential to be successful doctors. Statistics reveal that the rate of failure amongst Indians in this MCI screening test is high. The complexity of the exam allows only a limited number of graduates to practice medicine in India.

There are substantial reasons for such enormous number of FMGE failed candidates. The major reason for students’ failure in FMGE is the difference in curriculum followed by Indian medical schools and foreign medical schools. Apart from the curriculum, the difference in medical procedures & medications, quality education, the language of study could be the cause for the downfall of FMGE results. The prospective career of these aspirants is not braced if they fail in FMGE.

This regretful condition is unsettled by the absence of requisite skills for practicing medicine in India. Moreover, the exam has become extremely competitive over the years as the best candidates are filtered after rigorous assessment.

On the other side, there’s a pronounced shortage of doctors in India. Hence, medical degree holders’ blemishes to qualify for the FMG test will only increase the hassle for patients. Being a student of medicine, you must pass FMGE not only for your career but also for your country.
