NBEMS Finds No Basis for Compensatory Marks Amid FMGE June 2026 Protests
The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) expert committee found no evidence to justify awarding compensatory marks for video-based questions or reported examination centre issues in the June 2026 Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE). Despite ongoing protests by candidates questioning the exam's difficulty and transparency, the committee noted the pass percentage and difficulty were consistent with previous sessions. NBEMS rejected lowering the qualifying standard but proposed reforms including more frequent exams and increased transparency measures.
