What Is FMGE and Why It Matters
The Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) is a mandatory screening test for Indian citizens or Overseas Citizens of India (OCI) who have completed their primary medical education (MBBS or equivalent) from a foreign university. It serves as a gateway for registering with the National Medical Commission (NMC) or respective State Medical Councils to practice medicine in India.
Conducted twice a year in June and December FMGE assesses whether foreign-trained medical graduates possess the necessary knowledge to safely and effectively practice in the country.
