The National Medical Commission (NMC) has issued detailed instructions for candidates applying for the FMGE 2025 Eligibility Certificate. As per the guidelines, if there is a major mismatch between the uploaded photograph and the real-time appearance of the candidate, the application will be rejected.

Instructions For Photograph Upload
