New Delhi: The National Board of Examinations (NBE) has activated the entry slip for the FMGE Pass Certificate 2025 for candidates who cleared the December session of the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE). Applicants can now use the official site natboard.edu.in to download the entry slip so that they can obtain their pass certificates.
The release of the entry slip is a significant development for foreign medical graduates, as the FMGE pass certificate is a mandatory document for obtaining medical registration in India. Without this certificate, candidates cannot apply for provisional or permanent registration with State Medical Councils or the National Medical Commission, which is essential to begin medical practice in the country.
Entry Slip Now Available Online
The qualified candidates in the FMGE December 2025 session can access their entry slip by means of logging in with their credentials at the NBE portal. Key information has been included in the entry slip, which includes the date, time of reporting and the venue where the physical distribution of the FMGE pass certificate is to be done. It also outlines important instructions that candidates must follow on the day of certificate collection.
NBE has made it clear that the entry slip is mandatory and should be printed at the stipulated venue. It is also advisable that the applicants carefully check the personal information listed in the slip to prevent any rush troubles during the verification.
Physical Collection Mandatory
Based on the NBE guidelines, the FMGE pass certificate can only be given after face-to-face verification. Collection through courier, postage or even an authorised representative is strictly prohibited. This has been implemented to ensure that the certification process is upheld and remains authentic.
On the day of collection, candidates must carry:
- A printed copy of the FMGE Pass Certificate entry slip
- A valid government-issued photo identity proof, such as Aadhaar card or a passport
- Supporting documents as specified in the official instructions
Those candidates who fail to submit the necessary documents might not be permitted to receive their certificates.
What Is FMGE and Why the Certificate Matters
The FMGE is a screening test that is conducted among Indian citizens and Overseas Citizens of India (OCI) who have completed their medical education in institutions located outside India. The exam assesses whether candidates meet the minimum standards required to practice medicine in the Indian healthcare system.
The FMGE pass certificate serves as official proof of qualification. After obtaining it, candidates can proceed to:
- Apply for medical registration
- Start or complete their mandatory internship
- Seek employment in hospitals and healthcare institutions across India
The certificate is therefore a crucial milestone in the professional journey of foreign-trained medical graduates.
Advisory to Candidates
NBE has encouraged applicants to adhere to the reporting schedule in their entry slips strictly. Failure to report on time or follow instructions could result in the rejection of the issuance of certificates. Moreover, external candidates are strongly recommended to plan their journey in advance to prevent delays.
Additionally, a candidate who fails to pick up his certificate on the scheduled date can be given time within a given period to do so, within a stipulated period, subject to NBE rules. However, prolonged failure to collect the certificate could result in complications at later stages of registration.
