Understand this route
FMGE is a screening examination. Passing it does not by itself complete every registration or internship requirement.
Read the current NBEMS bulletin and applicable NMC requirements for eligibility, exemptions and the registration pathway. Passing the screening test alone does not complete all registration requirements.

- Read the current Important Dates and Application Form notices for your session.
