FMG Internship Counselling Update: Final Day for Colleges to Raise Objections to Reported Vacancies

Today, December 10, 2025, marks the crucial final deadline for medical colleges to raise objections regarding the reported FMG Internship vacancies. This is a pivotal step in the Foreign Medical Graduate (FMG) Counselling process for the upcoming academic session. Aspirants must keenly follow this development as the verified seat matrix directly impacts their choice filling and seat allotment possibilities. The prompt resolution of discrepancies is essential to ensure a transparent and efficient counselling process, moving closer to the publication of the final merit list and subsequent seat allocation. Stay updated on the final vacancy count before the choice filling phase begins.

The Foreign Medical Graduate (FMG) Internship Counselling process has reached a decisive point, with December 10, 2025, designated as the final day for medical colleges and institutions to submit any objections against the officially reported list of internship vacancies. This objection window is a mandatory administrative step designed to ensure maximum transparency and accuracy in the seat matrix before the allocation process for FMGs begins. Aspirants must understand the gravity of this deadline, as the final seat availability directly influences their selection strategy and chances of securing an internship.

• Verifying the Seat Matrix: Colleges are given this final opportunity to cross-check the publicly available list of internship seats against their actual capacity and logistical readiness.
• Ensuring Accuracy: This stage prevents future disputes by formalizing the number of seats available for FMGs, a critical factor given the high competition for Compulsory Rotating Medical Internship (CRMI) slots.
• Impact on Merit List: The resolution of all objections and the subsequent release of the final vacancy list is the precursor to publishing the merit list and initiating the choice-filling phase.

 The FMG Internship Counselling Process: Key Milestones Ahead

For thousands of medical graduates who have successfully cleared the FMGE/Screening Test, the internship counselling phase is the final gateway to practicing in India. The current objection window is just one part of a multi-stage process that candidates must navigate meticulously.

• Post-Objection Steps: Once the December 10 deadline passes and all institutional objections are resolved, the State Medical Councils/Designated Authorities will compile and officially publish the Final Vacancy Position.
• Merit List Publication: The Provisional Merit List of registered candidates is typically published shortly after the final vacancy list is released (as seen in recent state schedules, publication often occurs within a few days). Aspirants should check their ranking carefully.
• Choice Filling and Locking: This is arguably the most strategic step for the candidate, where they select their preferred medical colleges for the internship. The number of seats finalized today will be the foundation for this critical selection.

 Strategic Advice for FMG Aspirants: Prepare for Choice Filling

While the current action is on the part of the medical colleges, FMG aspirants should use this administrative window productively to prepare for the subsequent, candidate-centric phases of the counselling. The time between the vacancy finalization and the start of choice filling is often short.

• Analyze the Tentative Vacancies: Aspirants should scrutinize the already published tentative vacancy lists (from which the objections are being raised) and anticipate the final seat distribution based on historical data or known institutional capacity.
• Prioritize College Preferences: Based on the likely final seat matrix, candidates must create a comprehensive list of preferred colleges. This list should be ordered carefully, taking into account factors like location, hospital load, stipend, and institute reputation.
• Document Checklist Readiness: All required documents—including the FMGE Pass Certificate, Provisional Registration Acknowledgment, compensation certificate (if applicable), and all academic records—must be organized, verified, and ready for physical verification at the allotted college. Discrepancies at this stage can lead to cancellation.

This crucial final deadline for vacancy objections solidifies the framework for the FMG Internship Counselling process. Its conclusion sets the stage for the swift move to the merit list and the all-important choice-filling phase.
