The FMGE pass percentage is calculated by dividing the number of candidates who qualified by the total number of candidates who appeared for the examination and multiplying the result by 100.
The formula to calculate the FMGE pass percentage is:
FMGE Pass Percentage = (Number of Qualified Candidates ÷ Total Number of Candidates Appeared) × 100
Candidates who do not meet the minimum qualifying marks of 150 out of 300 are considered unsuccessful in the FMGE screening test.
