FMGE January 2026: Certificate And Internship Details

Q: What happens after the FMGE January 2026 result is declared?

Once the FMGE January 2026 result is published by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS), qualified candidates become eligible to apply for provisional registration with the relevant State Medical Council. They must then complete further formalities to start their required internship in India.

Q: Do FMGE qualifiers need to complete an internship in India?

Yes. Clearing the FMGE alone does not grant a medical license to practice in India. Foreign medical graduates (FMGs) must undergo a mandatory internship — typically 12 months of rotatory training in an NMC-approved medical college or hospital in India — before they can obtain permanent registration.

Q: How do I get the FMGE pass certificate and start internship procedures?

After the result, candidates must first collect their FMGE pass certificate (often in person through NBEMS or as notified). Then they apply for provisional registration with a State Medical Council and obtain any required NOCs (No Objection Certificates) to join an internship at an approved hospital or institution. Only after finishing this internship and completing all documentation can they proceed toward full medical registration in India.
