FMGE

The FMGE syllabus is based on the complete MBBS syllabus. Students must include pre‑clinical, para‑clinical, and clinical subjects as given below. 

• Anatomy
• Physiology
• Pathology
• Medicine
• Surgery
• Obstetrics–Gynaecology
• Pediatrics
• ENT
• Ophthalmology

The FMGE cutoff is released once the FMGE results are released. Once the FMGE cutoff is out, those who beat the cutoff list will be called for the counselling process. Students must score a minimum of 150 out of 300 to be able to beat the cutoff.

Go through the following points to know the tips to crack the FMGE exam on your first attempt. 

• Study all MBBS subjects, separate preparation into Pre-Clinical, Para-Clinical, and Clinical sections, and follow the NBE syllabus. 
• Practice MCQs from high‑weight subjects and topics. 
• Practise full‑length mock tests to adjust to the 300-question paper. 
• Since there is no negative marking, attempt all questions to maximise the score.

The FMGE exam has 300 MCQs worth 300 marks. Each correct answer gives 1 mark, and there is no negative marking. The exam is divided into two sections, Part A and Part B; each section is of 2 and a half hours. To pass, one must score 150 out of 300.

There is currently no limit on total number of attempts for FMGE. You can appear for as many sessions as needed. Very soon, National Exit Test (NExT) will replace FMGE exam. It may introduce new regulations regarding attempt limits once implemented. As of now, no limit for re-attempts.

Candidates must bring the following documents to the test center to be allowed entry. Digital copies on mobile phones are strictly not accepted.

• Printed Admit Card: A clear printout of FMGE 2025-26 admit card (black and white is acceptable) with a recent passport-sized photograph pasted in the designated space.
• Valid Photo ID: One original, government-issued photo identity proof (Passport,  Aadhaar Card, PAN Card, Voter ID, or Driving License).
• Note: The name on your photo ID must exactly match the name on your admit card.
