A course-specific check matters
FMGE is a screening examination. Passing it does not by itself complete every registration or internship requirement.
Before paying the fee
Compare the wording of your qualification and certificates with the official eligibility clause. If a result, internship or experience period is incomplete, check its exact cut-off date rather than assuming that completion before classes begin is enough. Ask the authority through its official helpdesk when the bulletin does not resolve your situation.
Official resources
Use the latest notice for your course and session. Later corrections or revised schedules take priority over an earlier bulletin.
