FMGE Test Series

What is it about?

Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) is a screening test recognized by the MCI Medical Council of India for Indian students holding medical degrees from other countries and intending to have license to practice medicine in India. This FMGE exam was introduced in the year 2002 and since then held every year to select candidates for licencing and recognizing their medicine practice in India. Starting the year 2014 the FMGE has changed from a paper and pencil test to a computer-based online test (CBT). This is not an Internet-based test, i.e. a candidate does not take the test over the Internet. Instead of reading the questions from a paper booklet and darkening the ovals in an answer sheet, a candidate will now read the questions on a computer screen and choose an answer by using a mouse to click on the appropriate option. The FMGE Examination is held twice a year usually in the months of June and December. The dates for the examination are notified on NBE website based on the availability of the test centres. FMGE Exam Pattern: FMGE is divided into two parts of 150 questions each with time allocation of 150 minutes for each part. There is a scheduled break between the two parts. Part One: 10:00 AM to 12:45 PM (includes 15 minutes tutorial) Part Two: 3:15 PM to 5:45 PM Candidates will also need to accept a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) before beginning the exam. There will be a total of 300 questions, with 150 question in each part. Candidates will have the option to navigate between the questions via the Review Screen. The exam will only contain multiple choice questions, each with four (4) options and only one (1) correct response.
