Foreign MBBS

4. 4. Licensing on returnPractising in India after a foreign MBBS requires clearing the licensing examination — the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination, with the National Exit Test as the announced successor. It has been reported that FMGE is to be replaced by NExT; confirm the current position with the NMC.Source: NMC
