Hello,

Don't worry, here is what you can do :

  3. Non-Editable Fields : If your name field isn’t editable, you’ll likely need further assistance to correct it.

  4. Immediate Action :

    • Contact Support : Reach out to the FMGE exam helpdesk or NBE (National Board of Examinations) immediately via their official contact channels or email.
    • Documentation : Be prepared to provide identification that matches the correct name to support your case.
  5. Outcome : Without correction, your application might be at risk of being flagged during verification, potentially affecting your eligibility. Early intervention increases the chance of resolution.

Here are the steps to retrieve your lost NEET 2019 scorecard:


Check your Email: Look through your email inbox. Don't forget the spam and promotions folder. There must be an email from NTA mentioning regarding NEET 2019 result or scorecard.

Visit the NTA Website:

Go the official website of NTA.

Look for the section called "NEET".

Look if link is there for download scorecards of previous years. You may be required to provide your application number, birth date and security pin.

Contact NTA Helpdesk:

Send your complaint to the NTA helpdesk through their website or helpline number. Brief your problem clearly and ask for their aid to obtain your scorecard.   Don't forget to remember to be able to offer all your NEET application number, your roll number and other details to them.

If you still cannot retrieve your scorecard by above options, then, you may make use of these alternatives:


Apply through RTI Application: You can apply for an RTI, i.e., a Right to Information application to NTA to get a copy of your scorecard. This, in any case, would be a time-consuming process, but somehow, could be useful.

Contact your coaching institute or college: They would probably have a copy of your scorecard or could help you get it from the NTA.

Don't lose hope and keep trying an attempt to get back your scorecard. Keep trying different ways and don't shy away from taking legal help from the concerned authorities.

Hello Suhana,

For the FMGE exam , your documents must match, especially your date of birth across certificates. Since there's a discrepancy in your DOB between your medicine degree and NEET scorecard , you should first get this corrected.

Here’s what you can do:

  1. Contact your medical college to correct the DOB on your degree or issue a letter verifying your correct DOB.

  2. Reach out to NBE (National Board of Examinations) , explaining the situation and submitting any supporting documents (like birth certificate, passport) that confirm your correct DOB.

  3. If needed, get an affidavit from a notary stating your actual DOB and explaining the discrepancy.

Once you have all corrected or supporting documents, you can proceed with your FMGE application without issues.

Hey there,

If you've lost your NEET UG 2019 scorecard and NTA hasn't responded to your email requests for a duplicate, you can try the following steps:

  1. Re-send the email to NTA : Ensure that you're emailing the correct address. Include all relevant details (like NEET roll number, registration number, date of birth, etc.) and explain your urgency for the FMGE exam. Use a polite but clear subject line like " Urgent: Request for NEET UG 2019 Duplicate Score Card ."

  2. Contact NTA via different channels : Besides email, try:

    • Calling the NTA helpdesk again and ask to escalate your issue.
    • Reach out to NTA on social media platforms (like Twitter), as public posts sometimes receive faster responses.

  3. Contact your NEET exam center : If you remember your exam center, you can inquire if they have any retained records or additional guidance on how to retrieve your scorecard.

  4. Legal route : If none of the above works, you may consider submitting an affidavit stating the loss of your scorecard along with the proof of attempts made to retrieve it (emails, screenshots of conversations, etc.). This can be submitted to the FMGE authorities as an interim solution while you continue trying to get a duplicate scorecard.

Lastly, ensure to keep all communication records and screenshots of your attempts to show sincerity in your efforts.

Hello,

As a foreign medical graduate, you have several alternatives through which you can obtain a medical license in other countries. Some of them include:

United States: You can use the USMLE route. You will be required to do residence training in the U.S. only after passing your examinations before you can practice there.

For instance, in Canada , the MCCQEs are applied for apart from the MCCQE. Subsequently, this one may be followed by residency training.

In Australia , AMC tests, among them the MCQ, and the clinical exams may be undertaken. You can apply for medical registration after passing the test.

UK: Take PLAB exams, and then must have a supervised period of practice with the NHS.

Carry out country-specific individual research on requirements such as language proficiency and additional examination requirements.

To participate in the haryana state quota ,fmge students must meet the domicile criteria, which requires them to be a bona fide resident of haryana for atleast 10 years.this means they should have resided in the state for a minimum of 10 years and must studied under any board,such as CBSE,icse,hbse etc.

If you want to pursue a Master's in Clinical Psychology in India with an MBBS degree, it might be challenging since many top universities prefer candidates with a B.Sc. or BA in Psychology. However, there are a few pathways and options to consider:

1. Universities Accepting MBBS for Clinical Psychology

  • National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS), Bangalore: NIMHANS is one of the top institutions that offers M.Phil. in Clinical Psychology and accepts MBBS graduates. You may need to sit for their entrance exam.
  • Central Institute of Psychiatry (CIP), Ranchi: CIP offers courses like M.Phil. in Clinical Psychology, and they sometimes consider candidates with an MBBS background.
  • Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh: Similar to NIMHANS, PGIMER offers advanced psychology courses and may accept MBBS graduates, particularly for M.Phil. or Ph.D. programs.

2. Consider Specialized Programs

  • M.Phil. in Clinical Psychology: This is a more advanced course, and institutions like NIMHANS and CIP may consider MBBS graduates for this program.
  • Diploma or Certificate Courses: Some universities offer diploma courses in Clinical Psychology, which could act as a bridge before applying for a Master's program.

3. Bridge Courses

  • Some universities might offer or recommend bridge courses or diplomas to help non-psychology graduates prepare for a Master's in Clinical Psychology.

4. Apply to Colleges with Flexibility

  • Private Universities: Some private universities might have more flexible admission criteria. It's worth contacting them directly to discuss your MBBS background and how it aligns with their program.

5. Alternative Pathways

  • Pursue a B.Sc. or BA in Psychology: If you’re determined to get into a top university that strictly requires a psychology undergraduate degree, you might consider completing a B.Sc. or BA in Psychology first.
  • Dual Degrees: Some universities might allow you to pursue a psychology-related diploma or certification along with your clinical practice, especially if you're practicing medicine in India.

6. Research and Contact Universities Directly

  • University Websites: Visit the official websites of the universities you are interested in and check their eligibility criteria for Clinical Psychology programs.
  • Direct Enquiries: Reach out to the admissions office of universities to clarify whether they accept MBBS graduates and if they offer any additional support or bridge programs.

Conclusion

While many top universities prefer candidates with a psychology background, institutions like NIMHANS, CIP, and PGIMER may accept MBBS graduates for advanced psychology programs. Research specific universities, consider M.Phil. programs, or look into private universities with flexible admission criteria.
