Eligibility rules for foreign medical graduates applying for NEET PG.
Verified Answer
Candidates who have completed their primary medical qualification (MBBS or equivalent) from a foreign medical institution are eligible to appear for NEET PG provided they meet specific requirements. They must first qualify the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) conducted by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS). After clearing FMGE, the candidate must obtain provisional or permanent registration from the National Medical Commission (NMC) or a State Medical Council. In addition, they must complete the mandatory one-year rotatory internship in India before the deadline specified by the NEET PG authorities. Only after fulfilling these conditions can foreign medical graduates apply for NEET PG and participate in postgraduate medical admissions in India.
