FMGE 2026 Syllabus 

The FMGE exam has two parts of 150 marks each and an overall mark of 300. All the questions are based on different subjects taught in MBBS. The FMGE 2026 syllabus has been found to be almost similar to the FMGE 2025 syllabus. The subjects are categorised into: 

• Pre-clinical subjects: Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry 

• Para-clinical subjects: Pathology, Pharmacology, Microbiology, Forensic Medicine 

• Clinical subjects: Medicine, Surgery, Paediatrics, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Ophthalmology, ENT, Community Medicine, Dermatology, Psychiatry, Radiology, Radiotherapy, Anaesthesia, Orthopaedics

In this manner, all the branches of medicine are equally represented in the FMGE exam.
