Advisory/Information for students desirous of Pursuing Medical Studies abroad

Advisory/Information for Students Desirous of Pursuing Medical Studies Abroad

Over the years, there has been an increase in the number of Indian students going abroad to pursue medical education.Earlier, all students interested in taking a medical qualification from outside India were required to get an eligibility certificate from the government before leaving for their studies. However, since 2019, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has made it mandatory for students to clear the NEET-UG (National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test – Under Graduate) exam, which is the entry examination for undergraduate medical education in India, as a prerequisite to pursue medical education abroad.

Beginning 2019, only those students who appear for the NEET-UG for admission to undergraduate medical education in India will be eligible to appear for the screening test, namely, the Foreign Medical Graduates’ Exam (FMGE). This step has been an important advancement in screening of students and has been well received by the host countries as well. However, as the quality of education in various countries differs considerably, continued and systematic efforts in providing guidance to students regarding selection of course and institution to gain maximum academic exposure is needed.

As per the IMC (Indian Medical Council) Act, 1956, all students who acquire a medical qualification from countries outside India are required to clear the FMGE in order to practice in India. The exam is conducted by the National Board for Examination (NBE) twice every year (i.e., in June and December).

It may be noted that the number of students having medical degrees from institutions abroad, appearing for FMGE in 2009 was 6,170, which has increased to 21,351 in 2018. However, the pass percentage of students appearing for the FMGE has been very low, and continues to be below 20%. NBE has published a list of country-wise performance of Indian candidates in FMGE for the period 2015–2018 (copy attached).

Important Advisory for Prospective Students

  • Only students who clear NEET-UG are eligible to take FMGE.
  • FMGE is mandatory to practice in India after obtaining a foreign medical degree.
  • The exam is held twice a year by the National Board of Examination (NBE).
  • Students must carefully select recognized institutions abroad with good academic standards.
  • Pass percentage in FMGE has been low; thorough preparation and awareness are crucial.
  • Students may consult the Indian Mission in the country of interest for guidance.
  • Regularly check the Medical Council of India (MCI) website for:
    • List of accredited foreign medical institutions/universities for MBBS or equivalent courses
    • Latest updates and useful resources for aspiring medical students
