FMGE December 2025 Qualified Candidates Proceed With Documentation

Following the FMGE December 2025 session, qualified candidates are now entering the critical documentation phase to secure their pass certificates. The National Board of Examinations requires physical verification of original degrees and identity proofs at the Dwarka office. Successful medical graduates must adhere to the prescribed schedule to obtain the credentials necessary for medical registration in India.

The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has initiated the post-examination phase for the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) December 2025 session. Candidates who have successfully cleared the screening test are now required to transition from the examination phase to the formal documentation stage. This process is mandatory for all foreign medical graduates who wish to obtain their permanent or provisional registration with the National Medical Commission (NMC) or various State Medical Councils. The documentation phase involves a rigorous verification of the candidate's primary medical qualification and citizenship status to ensure compliance with Indian medical standards. The board has emphasized that only those who complete these formalities will be issued the qualifying pass certificate.

Required Paperwork for Pass Certificate Collection

To receive the FMGE pass certificate, qualified candidates must present a specific setof original documents for physical verification. The NBEMS has transitioned to a face-to-face verification model to maintain the integrity of the licensing process. Candidates are advised to organize their documentation well in advance of their allotted time slots to avoid any delays at the nodal office in New Delhi.

• Entry Slip: A printed copy of the entry slip, which can be downloaded from the official NBEMS website using the candidate's roll number and date of birth.
• Admit Card: The original FMGE December 2025 admit card with a recently affixed photograph.
• Primary Medical Qualification: The original MBBS degree or equivalent certificate, duly apostilled or attested by the Indian Embassy in the country of study.
• Eligibility Certificate: The original eligibility certificate issued by the NMC (if applicable based on the year of admission).
• Passport and Visa: The original passport containing entries of the period of study abroad, including all immigration stamps.

Verification Schedule and Venue Details

The distribution of certificates is conducted in a phased manner to manage the volume of successful candidates. The NBEMS office in Dwarka, New Delhi, serves as the central hub for this activity. Candidates must strictly follow the schedule mentioned on their entry slip, as the board does not entertain unscheduled visits. This structured documentation timeline ensures that each medical graduate undergoes a thorough biometric and Face ID authentication before the final credentials are handed over.

Post-Verification Steps for Medical Registration

Once the documentation process is successfully completed and the pass certificate is issued, the candidate is officially recognized as having cleared the screening test. However, this certificate is not a license to practice but a prerequisite for it. The next step involves approaching the respective State Medical Council to initiate the registration process. During this subsequent stage, the verified documentation will again be reviewed to ensure the candidate meets the local internship and clinical requirement standards set by the state authorities.

• Provisional Registration: Graduates must apply for provisional registration to begin their mandatory one-year internship in an Indian hospital.
• Internship Completion: The documentation of the Indian internship must be submitted after 12 months to transition to permanent status.
• Permanent Registration: This is the final step that allows the individual to practice medicine independently or pursue postgraduate studies like NEET PG.
• Security Clearance: For candidates from certain neighboring countries, final documentation is subject to clearance from the Ministry of Home Affairs.

Conclusion

The commencement of the documentation phase for FMGE December 2025 qualified candidates marks the final administrative hurdle in their journey to practice medicine in India. By following the strict guidelines for documentation provided by the NBEMS, successful graduates can ensure a smooth transition toward their professional registration.
