FMGE Result / MCI Screening Test Passing Percentage

As you might already know, in order to become a doctor in India, you need to get a license. Being a foreign medical graduate, you need to clear a screening test for this license. Therefore, no matter which college or university you study at, if you are unable to clear the screening test, you cannot practice in India. Whichever screening test is applicable today (FMGE or NEXT), you need to clear it. This is why we should look at the FMGE result of the universities. We will get a good idea if study MBBS from that particular college as an Indian student is beneficial or not. After all, a college with a high FMGE passing percentage is better for you.
