Studying medicine overseas is no small decision — and for Indian students heading to Uzbekistan, that’s a question:
Since the pass percentage of FMGE (MCI Screening Test) or NExT (National Exit Test) is compulsory under the National Medical Commission (NMC) regulations for Indian students in foreign medical schools who aspire to practice in India, when you determine pass rates it gives you an idea and assists your decision-making.

But before we talk about those passing rates, here’s a little something you should keep in mind:
Conducted by Indian medical authorities
For Indian students (those who have graduated abroad)
Registration in the NMC and practice in India is only possible by qualification
Replaces FMGE as the final exam for medical licensing
Will be compulsory for all Indian and foreign MBBS degree holders
Double up as licensing exam and PG entrance test
Both tests gauge whether a student’s knowledge of medicine is up to Indian clinical and theoretical standards.
The FMGE/NExT passing rate reflects:
Academical standards of the university of medicine
“Quality of Clinical exposure and Bench teaching.”
Indian licensing examination readiness of students
Typically, a higher passing rate suggests the curriculum and training is in sync with what Indian regulators seek.
Many medical universities in Uzbekistan:
Offer training in the English medium that includes basic and clinical sciences
Increase exposure in hospitals during clinical years
Learn with a structured teaching process that assists students in developing strong medical basics
Foster early development of case analysis and patient assessment
These characteristics could lead to better readiness for board exams.
Note: An important provision is that students should clear NEET before going abroad – only then will they be eligible for FMGE/NExT after graduation.
Comparative analysis18 19 The FMGE/NExT passing rates are not officially consolidated and published by the Uzbekistani medical universities in contrast to some other nations. But if percent work load from what I learned from former students and academic counselors:
Uzbekistan medical universities NMC recognised and WHO listed Most of the Uzbekistan medical universities recognized by NMC with name in world health organization (WHO) directories have a better FMGE/NExT result because:
This fits well with global standards in education.
Clinical exposure is adequate
It’s the way students like to learn with timetables.
Those universities include:
Tashkent Medical Academy is famous for balanced education and clinical practice
Samarkand State Medical University — on the base of basic science concentration was kept fixed.
Bukhara State Medical Institute — It’s popular for being affordable and explanatory teaching
Andijan State Medical Institute— known for practical clinical experience
Public Health School at the Fergana Medical Institute — was gaining traction for its practical, hands-on approach
The take-home message is that it not only place but recognition and curriculum organisation which lead to FMGE/NExT success.
There’s no real hard-and-fast figure for the passing rate, but feedback from students and advisors tends to suggest:
Students from clinical-rich courses of English medium education score higher.
Those who rewire Indian exam patterns in a proactive way, fare much better
Universities holding exam centered group discussions and mock exams get better results
The real success rate for particular universities can vary, but by preparing well, a majority of Uzbek graduates achieve their goals from the first try.
Note: All above the mentioned points are applicable in any country preparation for FMGExam/NExT.
