NEW DELHI: The National Board of Examinations in Medical Science (NBEMS) will conduct the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) December 2023 exam today on January 20 at 45 exam cities across the country. The screening test is held for foreign medical graduates to practice medicine in India and for obtaining a provisional or permanent registration certificate.

Some candidates have taken to social media urging NBE to issue the admit card. However, there is no update on the official website, natboard.edu.in, regarding the FMGE admit card 2023. Notably, the FMGE hall ticket download link is inactive despite the NBE revising the admit card release date from January 12 to January 15.

As per the schedule announced earlier, the exam will be held in two parts - part 1 from 9 am to 11.30 am and part 2 from 2 pm to 4.30 pm. Entry to the exam centres will be allowed from 7 am for shift 1 and 12 noon for shift 2.
