The Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) January 2026 session has garnered significant attention among medical graduates seeking to practice in India. Conducted by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS), the exam took place on January 17, 2026, with thousands of candidates appearing across various centers. As aspirants await their scores, the focus shifts to the anticipated results declaration, which is crucial for their professional futures.
According to official sources and recent updates, the FMGE January 2026 results are scheduled to be announced on February 17, 2026. However, some reports indicate that NBEMS may release them earlier, potentially by mid-February, based on past trends. The information bulletin specifies February 18 as the tentative date, but early declarations have been observed in previous sessions. Candidates are advised to monitor the official NBEMS website for any advancements.
Once declared, results will be available on the official websites natboard.edu.in and nbe.edu.in. To access them, follow these steps: Visit the site, click on the FMGE result link, enter your roll number and date of birth, and submit to view the scorecard. Individual scorecards will be downloadable shortly after the initial announcement, typically within a few days. No physical copies will be sent; everything is handled online.
To pass FMGE, candidates must secure at least 150 out of 300 marks, which is the standard qualifying percentile. The cutoff remains consistent across sessions unless notified otherwise. Those who qualify will receive a provisional registration certificate from the National Medical Commission (NMC), enabling them to pursue internships and practice medicine in India.
The January 2026 FMGE was held in two shifts on a single day, covering 19 subjects divided into pre- and para-clinical, medicine, and surgery allied topics. With 300 multiple-choice questions, the exam tested comprehensive knowledge acquired abroad. For future aspirants, focusing on high-yield areas like medicine, surgery, and obstetrics is recommended, alongside regular mock tests to simulate the exam environment.
Successful candidates should apply for NMC registration promptly. In case of discrepancies or revaluation requests, NBEMS provides a window for queries, though revaluation is not typically allowed for FMGE. Stay updated via official channels to avoid misinformation from unofficial sources. This session’s results will pave the way for the next cycle, expected in June 2026.
