The Foreign Medical Graduates Examination (FMGE), a screening test for Indian citizens who have completed their medical education abroad and wish to practice in India, was held on July 6th, 2024. A total of 35,819 students took the test. Of these, 7,233 students passed, while 27,297 failed. The highest score achieved was 251 out of 300.

Additionally, 1,211 students were absent, and the results of 78 students have been withheld pending clarification from the National Medical Commission (NMC) or the outcome of the Exam Ethics Committee.

The pass rate for the June 2024 session is 20.19%. In the recent years, the pass rates of FMGE have varied with 10.20% passing in the June session while it was 20.57% in the December session in 2023, 10.61% pass rate in 2022 and 23.91% in year 2021.

The Foreign Medical Graduates Examination (FMGE) is known for its difficulty and high failure rate. Indian students who have completed their Medical Education abroad need to pass this exam before they are permitted to practice medicine in India.

Students who complete their MBBS from the Philippines often perform well in the FMGE, partly due to the accreditation of Philippine medical schools by international bodies such as the FAIMER (Foundation for Advancement of International Medical Education and Research) and the World Health Organization (WHO). Additionally, graduates from Philippine medical schools have a solid track record of success in international exams like the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE), indicating the quality of education they receive. The country has been a top destination to pursue MBBS abroad for 15 years due to its affordability of living and completing medical courses.

Dr. Dinesh Subburaj stated, “I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for helping me achieve my dreams. As an alumnus, I am deeply thankful for the invaluable role DMSFI played in shaping my journey. I appreciate the knowledge, skills, and experiences I gained at DMSFI. The guidance from professors, opportunities for growth, and the supportive community were instrumental in my development. Thank you to the teachers who guided me towards becoming a successful graduate. I am forever grateful for the impact DMSFI has had on my life. Special thanks to David sir and the team for their crucial encouragement, mentorship, and guidance in helping me reach my goals.”

Dr. Ammati Venkat Bharat Reddy says, “I want to express my deepest gratitude for the solid foundation provided for my medical career. The education and opportunities DMSF have offered have been truly inspirational and instrumental in shaping my career forward. My heartiest gratitude to, Davao Medical School Foundation and Transworld Educare, for giving me this opportunity to share my gratitude.”

Mr. Kadwin Pillai, Director of Transworld Educare and Chairman of Kings International Medical, highlighted upon receiving the results, “Team Transworld Educare congratulates Dr. Dinesh Subburaj for his persistence and determination.
