Passing requires 150/300, no negative marking applies, and qualified candidates receive the pass certificate after in-person document and identity verification.

Sample FMGE Practice Questions

1A newborn has the upper limb adducted and internally rotated, the forearm pronated, and the wrist flexed after traction on the neck during delivery. Which part of the brachial plexus is most likely injured?
A.Upper trunk involving C5-C6 roots
B.Middle trunk involving C7 root
C.Lower trunk involving C8-T1 roots
D.Posterior cord distal to all roots
Explanation: This is Erb-Duchenne palsy from injury to the upper trunk, classically C5-C6. The waiter tip posture reflects paralysis of abductors and lateral rotators of the shoulder plus elbow flexors.
2During abdominal surgery, the surgeon identifies the structures in the free edge of the lesser omentum. Which structure lies anteriorly and to the right in the portal triad?
A.Common bile duct
B.Proper hepatic artery
C.Portal vein
D.Inferior vena cava
Explanation: In the portal triad, the common bile duct is anterior and right, the proper hepatic artery is anterior and left, and the portal vein is posterior. The inferior vena cava is behind the epiploic foramen, not part of the triad.
3A 58-year-old patient develops ptosis, a dilated nonreactive pupil, and the eye is deviated down and out. Compression of which nerve best explains these findings?
A.Trochlear nerve
B.Abducens nerve
C.Oculomotor nerve
D.Optic nerve
Explanation: The oculomotor nerve supplies most extraocular muscles, levator palpebrae superioris, and parasympathetic fibers to the pupil. A compressive third nerve palsy often produces ptosis, ophthalmoplegia, and pupillary dilation.
4A child has painless lower gastrointestinal bleeding. A technetium scan shows ectopic gastric mucosa in an ileal diverticulum on the antimesenteric border. Which embryologic remnant caused this lesion?
A.Urachus
B.Vitelline duct
C.Allantois
D.Cloacal membrane
Explanation: Meckel diverticulum results from persistence of the vitelline duct. It is usually located on the antimesenteric border of the ileum and can bleed if ectopic gastric mucosa ulcerates adjacent ileal mucosa.
5A groin swelling lies below and lateral to the pubic tubercle and passes through the femoral canal. Which boundary is immediately lateral to a femoral hernia neck?
A.Lacunar ligament
B.Femoral vein
C.Inguinal ligament
D.Pectineal ligament
Explanation: The femoral canal is medial to the femoral vein. A femoral hernia neck is bounded laterally by the femoral vein, which is why repair must avoid venous injury.
6After thyroidectomy, a patient has hoarseness and aspiration when drinking liquids. Injury to which nerve is the most likely cause?
A.External branch of superior laryngeal nerve
B.Internal branch of superior laryngeal nerve
C.Recurrent laryngeal nerve
D.Glossopharyngeal nerve
Explanation: The recurrent laryngeal nerve supplies all intrinsic laryngeal muscles except cricothyroid and carries sensation below the vocal cords. Injury causes vocal cord paralysis, hoarseness, weak cough, and aspiration risk.
7Fever, acidosis, and increased 2,3-BPG shift the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve in which direction, and what is the physiologic effect?
A.Right shift, increased oxygen unloading to tissues
B.Right shift, decreased oxygen unloading to tissues
C.Left shift, increased oxygen unloading to tissues
D.Left shift, decreased hemoglobin affinity in lungs
Explanation: Increased temperature, hydrogen ions, carbon dioxide, and 2,3-BPG shift the curve right. This lowers hemoglobin affinity for oxygen and improves unloading in metabolically active tissues.
8A patient with complete heart block has cannon a waves visible in the jugular venous pulse. What causes these prominent waves?
A.Atrial contraction against a closed tricuspid valve
B.Rapid passive ventricular filling
C.Bulging of the tricuspid valve during ventricular systole
D.Early diastolic collapse of the right atrium
Explanation: Cannon a waves occur when the right atrium contracts while the tricuspid valve is closed, as in AV dissociation. The atrial pressure transiently rises and is transmitted to the jugular veins.
9A substance is freely filtered, neither reabsorbed nor secreted, and is not metabolized by the kidney. Clearance of this substance best estimates which parameter?
A.Renal plasma flow
B.Glomerular filtration rate
C.Renal blood flow
D.Tubular maximum for glucose
Explanation: Inulin has these properties and its clearance equals glomerular filtration rate. Creatinine approximates GFR clinically because it is freely filtered with only small tubular secretion.
10A child with nephrotic syndrome develops generalized edema. Which Starling force change is the major contributor to this edema?
A.Increased plasma oncotic pressure
B.Decreased plasma oncotic pressure
C.Decreased capillary hydrostatic pressure
D.Increased lymphatic drainage
Explanation: Heavy proteinuria lowers serum albumin and decreases plasma oncotic pressure. Fluid then moves from the intravascular space into the interstitium, causing edema.

FMGE Study Tips from Top Performers

1Use the NBEMS blueprint as the revision map: about one third pre/para-clinical and two thirds clinical.
2Do not skip Community Medicine, OBGYN, Ophthalmology, ENT and Pediatrics; together they account for 105 of 300 marks.
3Practice single-best-answer MCQs with explanations rather than memorizing unofficial dumps.
4Build speed for two 150-question parts: practice blocks of 50 questions in 50 minutes to match NBEMS time-bound section examples.
5For clinical subjects, prioritize common Indian MBBS presentations, emergency first steps, contraindications and public-health programs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who conducts FMGE?

FMGE is conducted by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS). NBEMS states that its role is limited to conducting the test, publishing results, and handing results to NMC and State Medical Councils.

How many questions are on FMGE?

The current NBEMS information bulletin describes one paper with 300 multiple-choice questions in English. The paper is delivered in two parts of 150 questions each on the same day.

What is the FMGE passing score?

A candidate is declared as having passed FMGE only after obtaining at least 150 marks out of 300. Results are declared as Pass or Fail, and individual part marks are not published.

Is there negative marking in FMGE?

No. The NBEMS information bulletin states that there is no negative marking in FMGE, so candidates should use time wisely and answer every item they can reason through.

What syllabus does FMGE use?

NBEMS publishes an FMGE syllabus and exam blueprint by MBBS subject marks. The June 2026 blueprint assigns 100 marks to pre/para-clinical subjects and 200 marks to clinical subjects, aligned with NMC undergraduate medical education scope.

Is the FMGE pass rate officially published?

The June 2026 information bulletin does not publish a single official overall pass-rate percentage. NBEMS hosts institute-wise and country-wise performance documents, so unofficial aggregate pass-rate claims should not be treated as official facts.
