FMGE Comeback

FMGE Pass Percentage & Results Trend

Here's what was reported for recent sessions. These figures come from news and education websites, not an official NBEMS summary, and some sources differ slightly.

Session Reported outcome
June 2025 6,707 of 36,034 qualified — about 18.6%
December 2025 About 10,264 qualified; more than 77% did not (pass rate under 23%)
June 2026 About 12–13% qualified (sources report 12.04% and 12.8%)
October 2026 (additional session) Results awaited at the time of writing

What changed for 2026–2027

  • NBEMS announced an additional session on 31 October 2026.
  • FMGE is planned to run three times a year from 2027.
  • Reports describe a rebalanced paper — roughly 30% easy, 50% moderate and 20% difficult questions — and a proposed fee reduction. Confirm current details on the official NBEMS website.
  • The National Exit Test (NExT) has been reported as FMGE's eventual replacement, but it has been postponed, so FMGE continues for now.

What these numbers mean for you

A low pass rate sounds frightening, but look at what it actually tells you: most candidates fall short, and many pass on a later attempt. The exam's rules haven't changed — 300 questions, 150 to qualify, no negative marking. What changes between a failed attempt and a passed one is almost always how the preparation was spent.
