The FMG Internship Counselling 2025 merit list is scheduled for publication tomorrow, December 15, 2025 (Note: As per MP and Haryana counselling schedules, the merit list is expected on Dec 15th, 2025, or Dec 12th in UP). This crucial list determines the course of action for thousands of aspirants who cleared the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE). Aspirants across states like Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh are preparing for the next phase: choice filling and seat allotment. Get ready to check your rank and prepare your strategy for securing your Compulsory Rotating Medical Internship (CRMI) seat. This article provides essential insights into the counselling process and what comes next.

The culmination of months of hard work and anticipation is just around the corner for Foreign Medical Graduates (FMGs). The FMG Internship Counselling 2025 is a pivotal moment, marking the transition from a qualified graduate to a practicing medical intern. With the provisional merit list for counselling sessions in various states, including those for the June 2025 batch, slated for publication tomorrow, December 14, 2025 (or soon after, as per state-specific schedules), aspirants are on high alert. This list, prepared on the basis of the FMGE score, will be the foundation for the subsequent seat allotment process for the mandatory Compulsory Rotating Medical Internship (CRMI) in NMC-approved institutions. Understanding the schedule, eligibility, and the next steps is crucial for all candidates to ensure a smooth transition into their internship.

Understanding the FMG Merit List and its Impact

The merit list is the most important document in the FMG internship counselling process, as it establishes the ranking of all eligible candidates. This ranking is primarily based on the marks obtained in the FMGE/NBE Screening Test. The competition is fierce, and securing a better rank can significantly increase your chances of getting your preferred internship college or hospital.

• Basis of Ranking: The ranking is strictly merit-based, derived from the candidate's score in the FMGE. In the event of a tie in the FMGE score, states generally employ tie-breaking criteria, such as the older candidate being preferred, or the candidate who passed the FMGE earlier.
• Domicile vs. All-India Merit: Some state medical councils (SMCs), like those in Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, often prepare separate merit lists for state-domicile candidates and Non-Domicile candidates. Seats are typically allotted first to domicile candidates, and only if vacancies remain are they offered to Non-Domicile candidates, as seen in the Uttar Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh processes.
• Next Steps: The merit list publication is immediately followed by the choice filling and locking window. Candidates must be strategic in this phase, listing all possible college and institute preferences in descending order of priority, as allotment is based on merit-cum-choice.

Key Post-Merit List Activities and Dates

The period immediately following the merit list release is action-packed and requires candidates to strictly adhere to the official timelines for the successful completion of their application. Missing a deadline at this stage can lead to the cancellation of the entire counselling process for a candidate.

• Choice Filling and Locking: This is arguably the most critical step after securing a position on the merit list. Candidates will have a defined window—for example, Madhya Pradesh gives six days (Dec 16 to Dec 21, 2025)—to carefully select their preferred institutions from the final published list of vacancies. Failure to fill all available choices can be detrimental, as allotment is strictly merit-cum-choice and limited choices might result in no seat allotment.
• Seat Allotment Result: Following the choice locking period, the provisional seat allotment result will be published. Candidates will be able to download their allotment letters—for example, in Madhya Pradesh, the result is scheduled for December 23, 2025. This document is essential for the final reporting phase.

Physical Reporting and Document Verification: The final step involves physically reporting to the allotted medical college/institution within the stipulated time, bringing all original and required documents for verification. Key documents include the FMGE Pass Certificate, NMC Eligibility Certificate, MBBS/Equivalent Degree, and Passport/Visa details. Any discrepancy or failure to report can lead to the cancellation of the allotment.

FMG Internship: Rules and Essential Preparations

The Compulsory Rotating Medical Internship (CRMI) for FMGs is mandatory and regulated by the National Medical Commission (NMC). Aspirants must be fully aware of the guidelines to ensure seamless registration and internship completion.

As you anticipate the release of the FMG Internship Counselling 2025 merit list, stay calm, strategic, and keep all your documents ready. The next few weeks will determine your first step into professional medical practice in India. Visit the official state medical council websites regularly for the most precise, state-specific schedule updates and make an informed decision when the choice filling window opens.
