Today's events made one thing clear to me: speaking up can feel discouraging.
But if we stop demanding transparency and fairness, nothing will ever change.
The fight for justice for FMGs must continue—with facts, unity, and respect.

MBBS seats ↑
NEET paper leaks continue.
NEET PG & SS cut-off: 0 percentile.
But #FMGE remains one of the toughest exams, with thousands of aspiring doctors stuck for years.
Why the double standard? Fairness should apply to every medical graduate.
#JusticeForFMGs#Fmgejune2026
Behind every FMGE roll number is a family that sacrificed, a student who never gave up, and a dream to serve patients.
Don't let that dream be crushed by an unfair system.
#JusticeForFMGs#FMGE#Doctors
Congratulations to everyone who cleared #NEETUG2026! 🎉
To those who couldn't make it: this is a delay, not the end. Keep fighting.
And please, before choosing MBBS abroad, research the reality carefully. Make an informed decision, not an emotional one.

NEET Paper Leaks and the FMGE Issue Are Manifestations of the Same Underlying Problem
The recent FMGE pass percentage was a horrible 12%.
The passing rate came crashing down from almost 30%, not because students suddenly started studying less, but because the standard and pattern of the paper were suddenly changed without informing the students.
A student expects basic fairness and predictability from the examination system. That is why examination bodies conducting exams such as the USMLE release sample papers and clearly communicate the expected pattern and standard. Any changes are informed beforehand.
But here, the difficulty level is suddenly changed. The pattern of questions is suddenly changed. This shows a complete lack of respect for the students and their efforts.
FMGs often receive the worst treatment. Random rules such as two-year and three-year internships are introduced that serve no purpose beyond harassing already troubled students. In many cases, it takes almost a year merely to secure an internship.
If the government does not want students to pursue medical education abroad, it should ban it completely. Why allow students to study abroad and then create endless administrative and regulatory hurdles when they return? What purpose is served by harassing them at every stage?
None of this will change unless people are held accountable.
If no one is held accountable for something as serious as a paper leak, how can we expect accountability for arbitrarily changing examination standards, setting unpredictable papers, or framing unreasonable rules?
The issue is not just one examination or one group of students. The real issue is the complete absence of accountability in the system.
12.38% pass rate.
A licensing exam should measure competence not surprise candidates with abrupt pattern changes.
Transparency, fairness are essential for every future doctor.
Fair Exam = Better Doctors = Better India 🇮🇳
#FMGE2026#FMGE#JusticeForFMGE
12.38% PASS RATE.
This isn't just a statistic—it's thousands of dreams on the line.
If the exam pattern changes without adequate notice, transparency suffers and candidates pay the price.
#FMGE2026#NBEMS#FMGE#MedicalEducation#JusticeForFMGs
FMGE aspirants spent years preparing, sacrificing time, money, and peace of mind.
There Should be
✅ Transparent review of disputed questions.
✅ Release of answer keys and clear explanations.
✅ Fair evaluation with accountability.
