FMGE December 2025 Pass Certificate Distribution

As of today, February 24, 2026, the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) is actively conducting the second day of the FMGE December 2025 pass certificate distribution. This process is happening at the board’s office in Dwarka, New Delhi. Thousands of foreign medical graduates who cleared the screening test held on January 17, 2026, are now arriving at the venue to collect their hard-copy certificates. This document is the most important piece of paper for these doctors, as it allows them to register with medical councils and start their internships in Indian hospitals.

The environment at the NBEMS office is very busy but organized. The board has made it clear that certificates will not be sent by post or given to any family members. Every doctor must be present there in person to prove their identity through biometric scans. This strict rule is in place to make sure that only the real candidate gets the license to practice medicine in India. Students are being called in small groups based on the time slots printed on their entry slips to avoid long queues and crowding.

1. Mandatory Schedule and Venue Details

The NBEMS has set a very specific timeline for this activity. Candidates must check their allotted dates carefully before traveling to the capital city.

  • Distribution Dates: The process officially started on February 23 and will continue until April 14, 2026.
  • Reporting Time: Every student has a unique time slot. You must reach the venue at least 30 minutes before your time to complete the security check.
  • Venue Address: The certificates are being issued only at the NBEMS Office, PSP Area, Sector-9, Dwarka, New Delhi.
  • Working Days: Distribution only happens from Monday to Friday. The office remains closed on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays.
  • Missed Slots: If a candidate misses their date, they cannot just walk in the next day. They must ask for a new date through the official communication portal.

2. Required Documents for In-Person Verification

To get your Certificate, you must show several original papers. If even one document is missing, the officers will not hand over the pass certificate.

  • Entry Slip: This is the most important paper. You must download it from the Official FMGE Portal and print it out.
  • Admit Card: Carry the original admit card you used during the January 17 exam.
  • Passport: All candidates must bring their original passport. If you have an old passport, bring that too to show your travel history.
  • Primary Medical Qualification: You need your original MBBS degree certificate. It must be apostilled or attested by the Indian Embassy in the country where you studied.
  • Eligibility Certificate: Bring the original eligibility certificate issued to you by the National Medical Commission (NMC).
  • ID Proof: Along with the passport, bring one more Indian government ID like an Aadhaar Card or Voter ID.

3. Final Deadline and Post-Collection Steps

Getting the certificate is a big win, but there are a few more things to do after you leave the NBEMS office.

  • Final Deadline: All qualified students must collect their certificates before July 29, 2026. If you don't, your result will be cancelled.
  • State Registration: Once you have the certificate, you should apply for provisional registration at your local State Medical Council.
  • Internship: This certificate is required to start your one-year compulsory rotatory internship in India.
  • Biometric Verification: During the Verification at the office, the board will match your fingerprints and face with the data taken on the exam day.
  • Stay Updated: For any sudden changes in the schedule, candidates are advised to keep checking the NBEMS Notice Board daily.

Conclusion

The FMGE certificate distribution is a proud moment for foreign medical graduates who have worked hard to return to India as doctors. With the Verification process now in full swing, it is vital to be punctual and have all your folders ready. Remember that this in-person meeting is the final step in proving your credentials to the national board. After the Certificate is in your hand, you are officially ready to join the Indian healthcare system and serve the people. Make sure to complete this formality within the given dates to avoid any legal or professional trouble in the future.
