FMGE Result 2024
FMGE is conducted for the candidates who have cleared MBBS degree from outside India especially China, Russia, Ukraine and Nepal etc., These students opt to pursue outside India because of limited number of seats available in India. These students to fulfil their dream of becoming doctors move out of India to do so. These countries Such as Armenia, Georgia and Russia etc. do not need to clear an entrance test for MBBS admissions. The fees are very reasonable due to which students end up getting admissions in foreign countries.

Why the exam looks tough?
Syllabus not defined: The first reason is this the curriculum and syllabus of foreign medical colleges are different from those of Indian medical colleges, and it leads a gap in knowledge and preparation. There is no such books available to prepare for these exams nor NBE suggest any books. Foreign medical colleges do not focus on the Indian medical syllabus, leading to gaps in knowledge. Moreover, the FMGE syllabus is very vast.
Lack of clinical exposure: another reason could be that foreign medical colleges have limited clinical exposure and hands-on training, that makes it challenging for students to adapt to the practical-oriented FMGE exam.
It is the law in some country that a MBBS student cannot touch a patient, so they do not have hands-on knowledge of even putting an injection. On the other hand, MBBS students in India go under a mandatory one-year internship for hands-on training.
Exam pattern: the foreign MBBS students are not familiar the FMGE exam pattern and format, it causes difficulties in managing time and answering questions effectively. The exam is held in MCQ format.
