The Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) 2024 results reveal important insights for Indian students planning to study MBBS abroad. With 79,000 candidates appearing across both sessions and an overall pass rate of 25.80%, understanding country-wise performance has become crucial for making informed decisions about where to pursue your medical degree.
FMGE — conducted by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) — is the mandatory licensing exam that every Indian citizen with a foreign medical degree must clear before practising medicine in India. The exam tests clinical knowledge across 19 medical subjects through 300 MCQs, and candidates must score at least 150 marks (50%) to pass. Given that nearly three out of four candidates fail each session, choosing a university with a strong FMGE track record can significantly improve your chances.
The December 2024 session showed significant improvement with a 28.86% pass rate compared to 20.19% in June, indicating better preparedness among recent batches. Georgia emerged as the top-performing country with an impressive 80.33% pass rate, followed by Iran (73.02%) and Nepal (71.43%). Russia — the most popular destination by candidate volume with over 11,000 students appearing — recorded a 29.5% pass rate, while China (12%) and Ukraine (9%) remained at the lower end.
This comprehensive analysis breaks down FMGE 2024 statistics by country, highlights top-performing universities, and identifies institutions achieving 100% pass rates. We have also included data on candidate volumes, session-wise trends, and the top 10 universities by verified pass rates with cohorts large enough to be statistically meaningful. Whether you are researching MBBS abroad options, comparing universities, or preparing for FMGE, this data will help you make a well-informed choice.
