According to the National Medical Commission (NMC) regulations, Indian citizens or Overseas Citizens of India who obtain their primary medical qualification from foreign medical institutions must pass the FMGE screening test in order to obtain registration to practice medicine in India. Without qualifying this screening test, candidates cannot receive a license to practice in India.
