Next Steps for Qualified and Non‑Qualified Candidates

For those who have qualified the FMGE, the scorecard forms an important part of the process toward obtaining the FMGE pass certificate. However, NBEMS issues the pass certificate only after in‑person verification of identity and credentials. Candidates should monitor announcements on the official board website and prepare for the verification process. Candidates who did not qualify may review their performance and identify areas of improvement if they plan to re‑attempt the examination in a future session. The high failure rate highlights the competitive nature of FMGE and the rigorous standard required for foreign medical graduates to obtain practice rights in India. For any updates on document verification schedules and related procedures, candidates should regularly check natboard.edu.in, the official portal of NBEMS.
