What happens next
- Scorecards: download from natboard.edu.in on or after 20 November. They stay online for only six months, so save a copy.
- Pass certificates: given in person after checks of identity and documents. NBEMS will publish the schedule separately.
- Registration: the scorecard cannot replace the pass certificate when you apply to a State Medical Council.
- Disputed questions: NBEMS says experts reviewed every question. Where a question was wrong, all candidates got the marks, and where more than one answer was correct, any of them counted.
For past papers and the exam pattern, see the FMGE result page on AglaSem Admission.
