Primary answer
The Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) is a licensing examination conducted in India for Indian citizens or Overseas Citizens of India who have obtained their medical degrees from foreign medical institutions. To study medicine abroad, Indian students must first qualify NEET UG as per the regulations of the National Medical Commission. After completing their medical degree abroad, they must pass the FMGE (or the future National Exit Test) to obtain a license to practice medicine in India. Therefore, NEET serves as an eligibility requirement before pursuing medical education outside India.
