The Foreign Medical Graduates Examination (FMGE), is one of the toughest exams that a foreign medical graduate has to undertake in their five years of MBBS. It is a licentiate exam that gives these graduates the permission to practice in India as an MBBS Doctor and be considered an equivalent to a student who has finished his/her MBBS in India. The goal of the exam is to achieve more than 50 per cent marks to get the license.
There are nearly 300 questions, divided into two equal parts, conducted on the same day with a lunch break in between. The paper covers 19 subjects in total with an unequal weightage of distribution of each subject depending on the subject’s importance. Most of the questions asked will be 1-liners, like identify the image, treatment of diseases, important statistics etc.
As the exam is scheduled to be conducted on July 30, here are some tips for the last few weeks:
Cover your basics
Make sure you study your pre and para clinical subjects such as Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology, Microbiology etc. in the beginning as they form a strong foundation for all the other clinical subjects such as medicine, surgery etc. Understanding most important concepts, names and important dates; figures will help you understand other clinical subject.
