According to the FMGE 2024 performance, there are top performing countries in FMGE 2024 based on their overall percentage. These countries include Georgia with a passing percentage of 36.65% and Russia with 29.54%.

Several universities did not perform well and resulted in a low passing percentage. Aspiring medical students are advised to research well before applying to foreign medical colleges. This will ensure that they receive good training that meets the standards necessary to pass the FMGE and practice medicine in India.
