NBEMS FMGE Dec 2025 Certificate Download Window to Open on Feb 23

The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has officially initiated the preparatory phase for the distribution of the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) December 2025 pass certificates. As of February 18, 2026, the portal for downloading the mandatory "Entry Slip" is active, allowing successful graduates to secure their specific time slots for the in-person collection process. This screening test, which was conducted on January 17, 2026, serves as a critical bridge for Indian citizens with foreign medical degrees to obtain registration with the National Medical Commission. The upcoming distribution cycle, set to commence on February 23, requires strict adherence to the assigned schedule to ensure an orderly verification process at the NBEMS executive office in New Delhi.

1. Mandatory Entry Slip and Document Requirements

Qualified graduates are reminded that the pass certificate is not available for digital download and must be collected physically. The entry slip, which can be accessed via the Candidate Login, contains the specific date and time for each individual's appointment.

• Identification Proof: Every candidate must carry an original government-issued photo ID, such as an Aadhaar Card or Voter ID, in addition to their valid Indian Passport.
• Academic Credentials: The primary medical qualification degree, duly apostilled or attested by the relevant Indian Embassy, is a compulsory requirement for the verification of the candidate's eligibility.
• Biometric Authentication: NBEMS will conduct a multi-stage verification process involving face ID and fingerprint matching to cross-reference the data captured during the January 17 examination.
• Self-Declaration Form: Aspirants must print and fill the self-declaration form included in the entry slip, which confirms their compliance with the residency and internship norms set by the National Medical Commission.

2. Timeline for Certificate Distribution and Deadlines

The Official Notice released by NBEMS outlines a specific six-month window for the collection of these credentials. Successful graduates who miss their assigned slots must seek a fresh appointment through the communication web portal.

• Final Collection Deadline: Candidates must collect their certificates on or before July 29, 2026. After this date, the FMGE December 2025 result will be deemed cancelled without further notification.
• Venue Details: All certificate issuance will take place exclusively at the NBEMS office situated at PSP Area, Sector-9, Dwarka, New Delhi.
• Third-Party Collection: The board has strictly prohibited the issuance of certificates to any authorized representative; the candidate must be present for verification in person.
• Scorecard Limitation: The FMGE Scorecard remains available for download only for six months from the date of issuance and cannot be used as a substitute for the pass certificate for medical registration.

3. Conclusion

The activation of the entry slip portal on February 18, 2026, marks the final hurdle for the thousands of graduates who cleared the December 2025 session. This meticulous verification process ensures that only legitimate medical practitioners are inducted into the Indian healthcare system. As the distribution begins on February 23, candidates are encouraged to verify all personal details on their FMGE Result PDF before traveling to the capital. The successful acquisition of the pass certificate is the definitive step toward starting a medical internship in India. With more than 10,000 candidates qualifying this session, the NBEMS has emphasized that maintaining the assigned time slots is vital for the successful completion of this administrative verification exercise.
