9,354 Pass FMGE October 2026: Only 22.87% Clear the Foreign Medical Exam

The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has declared the FMGE October 2026 result. Out of 40,893 candidates whose results were declared, 9,354 passed the screening test. That is a pass rate of 22.87%, which means roughly three out of every four candidates did not clear the exam this time.

Held on October 31, 2026, the computer-based test ran across centres all over the country. The board released the result on November 10, just 10 days after the exam. Candidates can check the result PDF on the official NBEMS website, natboard.edu.in, where it has been uploaded as a digitally signed document.

Only 22.87% passed, and 5,365 missed the cut-off by a few marks

A total of 42,113 candidates appeared for the October session, while 1,190 stayed away from the exam. The board declared results for 40,893 candidates. Of these, 31,539 failed to score the minimum qualifying marks.

As many as 5,365 candidates scored between 140 and 149 marks, just short of the 150-mark cut-off out of 300. A few more marks would have changed the result for each of them.

Results of 30 candidates have been withheld. The board is writing to these candidates by email to tell them why their results were held back.

For every 100 candidates who sat for the exam, only about 23 walked away with a pass.

How to check the FMGE October 2026 result

Follow these steps to see your result:

• Go to the official NBEMS website, natboard.edu.in.
• Look for the FMGE October 2026 result link on the homepage.
• Open the result PDF and search for your roll number.
• Check your marks and your pass or fail status, then save a copy for your records.

The result PDF lists each candidate’s roll number, application number, and marks out of 300.

Scorecards from November 20, and only for six months

Your own scorecard will be ready for download from November 20, 2026. You will need your user ID and password to log in and get it. The scorecard shows your name, roll number, application ID, date of birth, exam session, marks out of 300, and your pass or fail status.

Download it as soon as you can. The board has said scorecards will stay on the website for only six months from the date they are issued. After that, they will be taken down, and requests for a scorecard after the six-month period will not be accepted.

Pass certificates will be given in person

Clearing the exam is only the first step. Candidates who passed will get their FMGE pass certificates in person, after the board checks their identity and documents. NBEMS will announce the schedule for certificate distribution separately on its website.

The scorecard you download from the website cannot be used to apply for registration with a State Medical Council. For that, you need the FMGE pass certificate issued by NBEMS after the in-person check. Do not plan your registration around the scorecard alone.

No re-evaluation, and results stay provisional

If your result did not go your way, there is no way to ask for a second look. The board has made it clear that there is no provision for re-evaluation, rechecking, re-totaling, or grace marks in FMGE. The marks in the result PDF are final.

Every result is also provisional for now. It stays subject to checks on eligibility and documents under the rules given in the FMGE October 2026 information bulletin. If a candidate is found ineligible at any stage, the board can cancel the candidature, even after the result has been declared or the pass certificate has been issued. Candidates with questions about the result can call the NBEMS helpline at 011-45593000.

What FMGE is, and why it matters

FMGE is the screening test for Indian citizens and Overseas Citizens of India who finished their medical degree abroad. They must pass it before they can practise medicine in India or register with a State Medical Council. That is why the result draws so much attention every session, and why the low pass rate this time will worry many aspirants.

Students tracking other medical exam outcomes can check the INI CET November 2026 result, where 34,236 candidates qualified. Those in the NEET PG counselling process should watch the NEET PG 2026 Round 2 schedule, with the result due on November 17.
