can FMGE student is eligible to give cmat without clearing mci exam
Hope you are doing good.
So as per your query, in order to give the CMAT exam, one must complete their bachelor degree with aggregate Mark's of 60% at undergraduate level. So if you had completed your bachelor degree then you will be able to give the exam. However in case if you had not received your original bachelor degree certificate then you can provide the provisional certificate.
All the Best!!
If you are a student studying abroad. Do you need a medical license to apply for FMGE or a medical degree?
Hello aspirant,
According to the brochure released by NBE, the candidate should possess a primary medical qualification, which is confirmed by the Indian Embassy concerned, to be a recognized qualification for enrolment as a medical practitioner in the country in which the institution awarding the said qualification is situated.

Here is a list of documents you must keep handy-

Hi there,
Every student pursuing MBBS from another country has to appear for FMGE in order to practice in India. It does not matter whether your college is MCI approved or not, all foreign graduates have to give FMGE exam.
Hence, yes you can apply for FMGE
Hope this helps!
hello sir,I have qualified the neet 2019 and also took admissions in abroad and studied there for one year but now I am thinking of giving neet 2022 exam to take admissions in India to pursue MBBS,do my previous score will be valid again to continue my studies in abroad after appearing neet 2022. o
Hi,
NEET is a National Eligibility Entrance Test is national level competitive exam, which is taken every year for candidates having dream of becoming a doctor. Through NEET score, they can take admission in various colleges like AIMS, KGMU etc.,
The validity of score in India for taking admission in colleges is only one year. Candidate needs to re-appear next year, if they do not want to pursue any colleges this year.
However, for foreign admissions, the score is valid for three years. Candidates can apply to any foreign universities or colleges accepting NEET score within the three years.
As you have appeared in NEET 2019, so yes it's valid upto 2022. After which, you need to re-appear in NEET for further eligibility.
As you have mentioned, you are going to appear in 2022, so if you score well, you can use your latest score for taking admission in various foreign universities. However, for India, it will be valid for only one year.
I suggest you to use NEET college predictor offered by Careers360 at: https://medicine.careers360.com/neet-college-predictor?utm_source=qna&utm_medium=neet_cp
It will help you a lot during results time.
Thank you!
