The NBEMS uploaded the FMGE scorecards on February 6, clarifying that results remain provisional and are subject to in-person identity and credential verification before issuance of pass certificates. Candidates will have to key in their login credentials to download their FMGE scorecards from the official website, natboard.edu.in.
As per the final answer key, one question was found to be technically incorrect, while another had two correct answers, and marks were awarded to all candidates accordingly. Despite these corrections, the overall qualifying percentage remained lower than 25%.
