The FMGE 2025 exam is almost here! Are you looking for a last-minute guide on which resources to use for your final round of preparations?

The FMGE isn’t just a regular medical examination, especially for those of you attempting it as foreign medical graduates. It can feel unfamiliar due to differences in the curriculum you followed during your primary medical education. While the core medical principles remain the same, the practice of medicine in India often differs significantly from the guidelines and protocols followed in other countries. The Foreign Medical Graduates Examination is designed to bridge this gap and ensure that doctors meet the standards expected within the Indian healthcare system.

Resources and Strategies for FMGE Preparation

With the major difference in curriculum in place, it can be a bit tricky to choose the right resources for FMGE. Anything and everything that covers the Indian Medical Curriculum can be beneficial. Now that there are only a few days left to prepare FMGE, let’s look at the most effective resources you can rely on for last-minute preparation and quick revisions. The 19 subjects can feel overwhelming, but getting your hands on the right resources and strategies can help you sail through the difficult final preparation days more easily.

• Use diagrams, flowcharts and tabular illustrations to revise the key concepts. This will help in longer retention of what you have learned.
• Try to integrate clinical scenarios while studying, because FMGE has started to increasingly focus on clinical questions.
• Solve the maximum number of previous year questions. This is the only way to get familiar with which concepts are asked and which ones to focus.
• Never skip repeated revisions of high-yield topics. Topics like brachial plexus, cranial nerves, metabolic pathways, infectious diseases, cancer markers, and national health programs often reappear with slight variations.
• Correlated subjects could be learned together. This will help in better understanding. For example, combine microbiology with pharmacology when learning about antibiotics, or pathology with medicine while revising haematology.

Do as many mocks as possible. Reinforcing your subject knowledge with mock questions is as important as covering the subject. You can attempt MCQs from trusted platforms like the StudyMEDIC LMS 3.0, which also gives complete explanations of the MCQs.

Important Topics to Cover

All 19 subjects are important in FMGE, there’s nothing you can afford to skip or ignore. However, if you’re looking to prioritise a few topics for your last-minute revision, you can focus on the following since these are some commonly tested and must-know areas across subjects:

• Nerve/muscle lesions and reflex pathways
• Cardiovascular and renal physiology mechanisms
• Vitamin deficiencies and metabolic cycles
• Infection control, organism identification
• IPC/CRPC sections and forensic protocols
• Public health formulas and national programs
• Obstetric emergencies and neonatal care
• Common surgeries and diagnostic approaches
