FMGE December 2025 Result Updates: Check Release Date & Passing Marks

The wait is intensifying for thousands of Foreign Medical Graduates (FMGs) who appeared for the screening test earlier this month. The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) is set to declare the results for the FMGE December 2025 session soon.

While the information bulletin specifies a mid-February date, speculation is rife across social media and educational portals about an early declaration. This article clears the confusion regarding the confirmed schedule, where to check your score, and what historical trends suggest.

Here is a complete breakdown of the FMGE December 2025 (held in Jan 2026) result timeline.

Official vs. Expected Result Date

There is currently a gap between the official schedule and what experts are predicting based on past trends.

  • Official Result Date: According to the NBEMS Information Bulletin, the result is scheduled to be declared by February 17, 2026.
  • Expected Early Release: Historically, NBE is known to release results well ahead of the deadline. For instance, in previous sessions, results were declared within 2-3 weeks of the exam. Since the exam was conducted on January 17, 2026, many reports suggest the result could drop anytime between late January and the first week of February 2026.

Note: Students are advised to keep a close watch on the official website natboard.edu.in as the result link usually goes live in the evening hours.

What Comes After the Result?

The process doesn’t end with the result PDF. Here is the timeline of events that follow:

1. Scorecard Download

A few days after the result PDF is published, individual scorecards will be made available. You will need your User ID and Password to download this from the candidate login portal.

2. Pass Certificate Distribution

Qualifying the exam is only the first step. To get your medical registration, you need the FMGE Pass Certificate.

  • In-Person Verification: NBEMS will release a separate schedule for “in-person” verification of credentials.
  • Venue: Usually held at the NBEMS office in New Delhi.
  • Biometrics: Your biometrics (Face ID/Fingerprint) captured during the exam will be verified again before issuing the certificate.

Passing Trends & Statistics

The FMGE is known for being a tough nut to crack. In recent years, the pass percentage has hovered between 20% to 25%.

  • Passing Marks: You must score at least 150/300. There is no negative marking, so a score of 149 means you will have to re-appear in the next session (June 2026).
  • Withheld Results: Every year, results of some candidates are kept as “Withheld” due to pending documents or technical issues. If your result shows this status, check your email for instructions from NBE.
