While reasons for such rescheduling are not always explicitly communicated, potential factors could include administrative concerns, logistics, or unforeseen circumstances.

The Importance of Staying Updated:

The ever-evolving nature of the FMGE schedule underscores the crucial need for FMGs to remain updated. This necessitates consistent vigilance:

  • Official NBE Website: Bookmarking the National Board of Examinations (NBE) website (https://nbe.edu.in/) is your first line of defense. All official announcements and updates regarding the FMGE, including schedule changes, are posted here.

  • Long-Term Strategy: Consider the entire two-session calendar while crafting your study plan. This allows for flexibility and adaptation in case of rescheduling.
