    To pass the FMGE, candidates must secure at least 150 marks out of 300, which accounts for a 50% passing score. The FMGE result is declared by the authority in the form of a scorecard. Based on the result declared by the NBE, the FMGE pass percentage is released country-wise for each year. However, despite only a 50% passing score, the pass rates often vary across candidates who have studied in different countries. Various factors like curriculum, language, teaching quality, and clinical exposure impact these rates.
