NBEMS Announces Additional FMGE Exam in October and Revised Exam Measures
The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) will conduct an additional Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) by the end of October 2026, following protests by foreign medical graduates over the June exam's difficulty and transparency. The board plans to hold FMGE three times a year starting next year, with a revised question paper structure emphasizing 30% easy, 50% moderate, and 20% difficult questions. Exam fees will be reduced, and candidates will gain greater access to exam details. The All India Medical Student Association called off its protest after these announcements.
