FMGE Mock Tests, Syllabus & Complete Exam Guide

FMGE is a computer-based test of 300 multiple-choice questions, divided into two papers of 150 questions each and taken in two sessions on the same day. Each correct answer earns one mark and there is no negative marking, so every question should be attempted. The questions cover the full MBBS curriculum across nineteen subjects.

To pass the FMGE you must score at least 150 out of 300, that is 50% of the aggregate across both papers. There is no category-wise relaxation — the 50% requirement applies to all candidates — and there is no merit rank, since the FMGE is purely a qualifying screening test.

The FMGE is for Indian citizens and OCIs who have obtained a primary medical qualification (MBBS or equivalent) from a medical institution outside India. Candidates must have held or been exempt from an Eligibility Certificate from the National Medical Commission and completed their course of study as required. There is no limit on the number of attempts.

The FMGE is held twice a year, usually in June and December, by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences. Candidates may appear in either or both sessions in a year as they become eligible.

The National Medical Commission has announced that a National Exit Test (NExT) will in time serve as the common licensing and postgraduate-entrance examination, including for foreign medical graduates. Until that transition is fully implemented, however, the FMGE remains the operative screening examination for practising in India.

Because the FMGE tests broad recall across the whole syllabus, mock tests are essential. Begin with subject-wise tests to shore up high-yield topics, then take full-length 300-question mocks under timed, two-paper conditions to build stamina and pacing. Review every mistake and re-drill your weakest subjects before the next attempt.
