Overview
The FMGE October 2026 application correction window is open from September 29 to September 30, 2026, allowing registered candidates to modify permitted details in their online forms. The Foreign Medical Graduate Examination is conducted by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) as a screening examination, so no posts or vacancies are associated with this notification.
Candidates should review every entry carefully and submit corrections before the window closes. Details that NBEMS classifies as non-editable must remain unchanged, while document-related corrections may be permitted separately if an image correction window is announced.

- Applicants may be required to obtain confirmation of their medical qualification from the concerned Indian Embassy or other competent authority.
- Candidates must satisfy the citizenship, registration and documentary conditions prescribed by NBEMS and the National Medical Commission.
- Applicants who already hold permanent registration in India, or who fall under an exempted category, should verify whether they are required to appear for FMGE.
Age Limit
- No general minimum or maximum age limit has been specified for using the correction window.
- Eligibility is determined primarily by the candidate’s medical qualification, citizenship or applicable status, and completion of the prescribed documentation.
- Candidates should consult the official information bulletin for any category-specific conditions.
Fees
- The examination fee is payable online during the original application process.
- The correction notification does not specify a separate standard fee for editing permitted fields.
- If a change affects the fee category or creates an additional payment requirement, the amount displayed in the candidate login must be paid online.
- Previously paid application fees are generally governed by the refund and cancellation rules stated in the official bulletin.
Selection Process
- Application and eligibility scrutiny: NBEMS examines the submitted application, qualification details and supporting documents to determine provisional eligibility.

- Result and qualification: Candidates must secure the prescribed qualifying marks and complete the applicable verification or registration formalities with the competent authority. FMGE qualification does not constitute appointment to a post.
How to Apply
- Visit the official NBEMS website at natboard.edu.in.

- Modify only the information that requires correction. Certain core details, including identity or nationality-related fields, may remain locked under the examination rules.
- Upload fresh documents only where the dashboard permits replacement, ensuring that files meet the prescribed format, size and quality requirements.
