The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has taken a crucial step for aspiring doctors by releasing the city intimation slip for the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) December 2025 session. This initial notification allows candidates to know the city where they will be taking their licensure exam, enabling them to make necessary travel and accommodation arrangements well in advance.
Understanding the City Intimation Slip
It is vital for students to understand that the city intimation slip is not the same as the official admit card. This slip, communicated via the candidate's registered email and mobile number, solely specifies the assigned exam city. Upon receiving it, students must scrutinize all details meticulously. If any discrepancy is found, they are advised to contact NBEMS authorities immediately without delay.
This preliminary document plays a significant role in logistics planning, especially for those who may need to travel to a city different from their place of residence. Early knowledge of the exam city helps in booking affordable travel and stay options, reducing last-minute stress.
Admit Card Release and Exam Schedule
The complete and official FMGE admit card will be available for download on January 14, 2026, through the official NBEMS website, natboard.edu.in. This document is mandatory for entry into the examination hall and contains critical details including the candidate's full name, roll number, exact exam centre address, reporting time, date, and important test-day instructions.
Candidates must download and print a clear copy of this admit card to carry to the centre. The FMGE December 2025 examination itself is scheduled to be held on January 17, 2026. Along with the printed admit card, examinees must also carry a valid government-issued photo identification proof.
Essential Guidelines for Candidates
To ensure a smooth examination experience, all FMGE aspirants should adhere to the following key instructions:
- Continuously monitor your registered email inbox and phone for all official updates from NBEMS.
- Initiate travel planning as soon as the city intimation slip is received, if required.
- Download and print the admit card promptly after its release on January 14, 2026.
- Read and follow all instructions mentioned on the admit card carefully.
- Plan to reach the exam centre well before the reporting time to account for any unforeseen delays.
With the city intimation slip now distributed, candidates can focus on the final leg of their preparation while sorting out their travel logistics. It is paramount to rely only on official communications from NBEMS to avoid any misinformation or confusion regarding the examination process.
