The Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) for the June 2026 session will be conducted on June 28, 2026, providing an important opportunity for Indian students who have completed their medical studies abroad and aim to practice in India.
According to the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS), this screening test continues to be mandatory for foreign medical graduates seeking registration in India under current regulations.

The FMGE June 2026 will be conducted in a computer-based mode in two shifts on the same day. The first shift is likely from 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM, followed by the second shift from 2:00 PM to 4:30 PM.
The exam is held twice annually, usually in June and December, providing candidates with more than one opportunity to qualify.
Although the exam date has been confirmed in the NBEMS calendar, the complete schedule for registration, admit card release, and correction windows has not yet been officially announced.
Going by past trends, the application process is likely to begin a few months before the exam, with admit cards issued closer to the exam date.
Candidates are advised to regularly check the official NBEMS website for accurate updates, as timelines may change.
FMGE is divided into two sections (Part A and Part B), with each section consisting of 150 multiple-choice questions, making a total of 300 questions.
To pass the exam, candidates must score a minimum of 150 out of 300 marks (50%), which is the qualifying standard.
FMGE acts as a compulsory licensing exam for Indian nationals and Overseas Citizens of India (OCI) who have completed their primary medical education from institutions abroad.
Qualifying for this exam is necessary to obtain provisional or permanent registration with the medical councils in India, making it a crucial milestone in a doctor’s professional journey.
Students should rely on the official NBEMS website as the primary and most reliable source for all updates. Staying updated and beginning preparation early can significantly improve the chances of clearing FMGE June 2026 in a single attempt.
