FMGE: NMC opens eligibility certificate window, applications from September 1

The notice has been issued by the Ethics and Medical Registration Board (EMRB) of NMC for candidates who have not yet obtained the Eligibility Certificate.

FMGE Screening Test may be scheduled in the coming months by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS). Candidates must possess the eligibility certificate issued by the National Medical Commission to apply for the Screening Test, as per the specified requirements.

According to the notice, candidates can submit their applications through the NMC portal. The online application portal will open on September 1, 2026, at 10:00 AM and will remain available until September 30, 2026, at 6:00 PM.

APPLICATION SCHEDULE

Accordingly, all candidates are requested to submit the application after making due diligence and checking the requisite entries scrupulously before submitting the application. Candidates who have already submitted an application for issuance of the Eligibility Certificate to NMC in the past need not apply again.

The NMC mentioned that it has also been observed on previous occasions that various mistakes are made by the applicants while applying for the Eligibility Certificate (EC). The following are suggested measures to avoid mistakes-

1 The applications should preferably be filled by the candidate himself and should ideally avoid proxy for making applications for EC.

2 The candidates are also advised to keep their documents handy before filling the application for EC; it would be ideal if the entries to be made are verified vis-a-vis entries in the original documents.

3 The candidates should provide their active mobile numbers so that alerts/deficiencies can reach them directly for rectification to obviate any delay in rectification. It may also be ensured that once the deficiency is conveyed, the deficiency should be rectified by the respective candidate as expeditiously as possible to avoid last-minute rush.

4 Candidates shall scrupulously check entries and ensure conformity with the details in the original documents to ensure quick processing/approval of applications if otherwise eligible.

The above-mentioned steps are only suggestive and not exhaustive. Candidates are requested to exercise due diligence before submitting applications for Eligibility Certificates and ensure the mobile numbers indicated remain active.
