What is FMGE?
FMGE is a license exam administered by the National Board of Examinations. An Indian citizen or OCI who has completed his/her primary medical qualification from a non-Indian institution but intends to practice in India must pass this examination before registering with the National Medical Commission or State Medical Council. However, because FMGE was launched in 2002, candidates who completed their primary degree course on or before March 15, 2002 are exempt from taking this examination. The exam held in June and December.
