The National Board of Examination in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has initiated a crucial final opportunity for applicants to rectify their submissions. The board has officially launched the last application correction window for the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) scheduled for December 2025. This essential facility became available starting today, December 29, 2025.
What Candidates Can Edit in This Final Window
This correction phase is highly specific and restrictive. According to the official notification, aspirants who have already submitted their forms are permitted to modify only a select set of visual documents. The editable items during this final window are strictly limited to the re-upload or correction of three key images: the candidate's photograph, signature, and thumb impression.
It is critical for applicants to understand that this is a selective edit facility. No other data entered in the application form can be altered at this juncture. The window for making these specific image corrections will remain active for a short period, closing definitively on December 31, 2025.
Details That Cannot Be Changed
NBEMS has clearly outlined the fields that will be locked and cannot be modified during this final stage. Candidates must note that the following details are permanently fixed and cannot be corrected:
- Name
- Nationality
- Email ID
- Mobile Number
- Chosen Test City
- All academic details and uploaded documents
Adherence to image specifications is paramount. The board has warned that applications featuring incorrect or non-compliant photographs, signatures, or thumb impressions face the risk of outright rejection. Candidates must meticulously follow the prescribed guidelines for image format, size, and clarity available on the official website.
