Understanding FMGE – Foreign Medical Graduate Examination

FMGE (Foreign medical and graduate exam), Also known as the Screening test for the Foreign medical graduate has been introduced through Screening Test Regulations,2002. FMGE is a qualifying exam conducted by the National Board of Examinations in india. This licensure exam in INDIA for indian students and overseas citizens in India who have obtained their primary medical qualification from medical institutions outside india and wish to practice medicine in India. NBE has set the cut-off of FMG at 50%, i.e, a candidate will be required to obtain at least 150 out of 300 marks to qualify for the exam to practice medicine in this country. For every correct answer, one mark will be awarded (there is no negative mark for incorrect answer).
