How to Read FMGE Pass-Rate Data in Nepal
FMGE (the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination) is the screening test Indian students must clear to practise in India after MBBS in Nepal. The universities above are ranked by FMGE pass rate — a strong indicator of how well an institution prepares students. But pass rate reflects the cohort as much as the university: a high rate signals good curriculum alignment, English-medium clinical teaching, and study culture.

Why FMGE Pass Rates Vary So Much
Two universities in Nepal can differ by 40+ percentage points in FMGE pass rate. The drivers are curriculum alignment with the Indian MBBS syllabus, whether clinical rotations happen in English, real hands-on hospital exposure, and how seriously each cohort prepares. Use the pass-rate ranking to shortlist, then confirm the specific university's most recent NBE data.
