Foreign Medical Graduate Exam Pass Rate Plummets to 12.4%, Sparks Student Protests
The Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) results released for June 2026 have triggered widespread concern after the pass rate dropped sharply to just 12.4%. The low pass rate has sparked student protests and calls for scrutiny into whether the exam is disproportionately difficult compared to domestic MBBS examinations.
Students and medical professionals argue the steep failure rate is creating barriers for foreign medical graduates seeking to practice medicine in India. The sharp decline in pass rates has raised questions about the examination's difficulty level and whether it is fairly calibrated against domestic medical qualifications.
