In 2019, 25.79% Indians cleared Foreign Medical Graduate Exam, a test aspirants with degrees from certain countries need to clear for practise in India. Figure was 14.68% in 2020 and 23.83% in 2021.

New Delhi: Every year, thousands of Indians with medical degrees from foreign universities appear for the Foreign Medical Graduate Exam (FMGE) — a screening test conducted by the National Board of Examination (NBE) and mandated by the National Medical Commission (previously Medical Council of India) — to qualify for practise in their own country.

On an average, less than 20 per cent of them are able to clear it, according to NBE data.

Foreign medical graduates from countries like Russia, Ukraine, China, the Philippines, Bangladesh and Nepal, among others, are allowed to practise in India only after they have cleared the FMGE. However, MBBS graduates from the US, UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand do not need to take the exam.

In 2019, 25.79 per cent of foreign graduates cleared the FMGE, while the percentage was 14.68 in 2020 and 23.83 in 2021. The figures in years preceding 2019 were even lower. 

So, what do the nearly 80 per cent graduates do after failing to clear this test? While some give up on their dream to pursue medicine and adopt a different career path, others cling to it, especially since there is no cap on the number of attempts for the biannual FMGE.
