FMG Internship Counselling 2025: Merit List of Registered Candidates Expected within 2 Days
The internship allotment process for Foreign Medical Graduates (FMGs) is entering its decisive phase. Candidates who successfully registered for the FMG Internship Counselling—conducted by various State Medical Councils (SMCs) like Madhya Pradesh Medical Council (MPMC) and Uttar Pradesh Medical Council (UPMC)—are now on high alert for the Publication of the Merit List, expected within the next two days, tentatively around December 15, 2025.
Candidates who are aiming for an internship slot in states like Madhya Pradesh have an immediate and critical deadline to heed. The online registration window for the MPMC FMG Internship Counselling (June-2025 batch) is open only until December 14, 2025. Any FMG who has not completed their application and documentation by this time will miss the single-round allotment opportunity for this session.
The Expected Timeline for Seat Allotment (Illustrative Example: Madhya Pradesh)
| Activity | Scheduled Date | Significance for FMGs |
|---|---|---|
| Final Vacancy Publication | December 12, 2025 | Confirmed the total number of seats available. |
| Registration Deadline | December 14, 2025 (MPMC) | Last chance to be included in the merit list. |
| Publication of Merit List | December 15, 2025 | The rank list that determines allocation order. |
| Choice Filling and Locking | December 16 to December 21, 2025 | Candidates select their college preferences based on their rank. |
| Final Allotment Result | December 23, 2025 | The binding result confirming the internship college. |
Merit List Preparation and Tie-Breaking
The merit list is prepared strictly based on the score obtained by the candidate in the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE). The higher the FMGE score, the better the position on the list, which translates to a higher likelihood of securing a preferred internship college.
In the event of a tie (two or more candidates having the same FMGE score), the respective medical councils will generally use the following Tie-Breaking Criteria:
- Age Preference: The older candidate is given a higher rank.
- Attempt History: The candidate who qualified the FMGE in an earlier attempt may be prioritized (varies by state).
Strategy After the Merit List Release
Once the rank is officially published on December 15, the focus of every FMG must immediately shift to the Choice Filling phase, which is scheduled to begin the very next day.
Aspirants are strongly advised to meticulously study the final seat matrix (released on December 12) in conjunction with their rank. It is essential to fill every single available choice in the true order of preference, starting with the most desired institution. Failure to fill all choices can severely limit the chances of allotment, as the process is merit-cum-choice.
