High Court of Delhi (Jyoti Singh, J) | W.P.(C) 14143/2025 & CM APPL. 58041/2025 | Poorvika N v. National Testing Agency & Ors. | Petitioner, an MBBS graduate of a foreign university, needed to clear the FMGE conducted by NBEMS, for which the Information Bulletin makes submission of the NEET (UG) scorecard mandatory; her NEET (UG) 2019 score card was unavailable.

completion of the Eligibility Certificate requirements or any other conditions as this Hon’ble Court may deem fit.

¶23

e) Pass any other order(s) as this Hon’ble Court may deem fit and proper in the interest of justice.”

¶24

The grievance of the Petitioner is that she had enrolled for MBBS Course in foreign university and therefore, as required, she has to undertake an examination called Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (‘FMGE’), conducted by National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (‘NBEMS’). Learned counsel for the Petitioner submits that the process of applying for FMGE involves submission of NEET (UG) scorecard as a mandatory requirement, as outlined in the Information Bulletin issued by NBEMS for FMGE December-2025 Session as also future examinations. It is submitted that NTA has furnished requisite details and particulars of the Petitioner based on available database, which can be incorporated as a part of this order and direction can be issued to NTA to treat the order as a scorecard of NEET (UG), 2019 Examination, thereby dispensing with the requirement on the part of the Petitioner to furnish the scorecard. Counsel for NTA fairly submits that similar orders have been passed by this Court in the past and NTA has no objection if this course of action is adopted in the present case.

¶25

I have perused the details furnished by NTA, which are as follows:-

Indisputably, similar orders have been passed by this Court and there is no reason to deny the reliefs sought by the Petitioner. Accordingly, NBEMS is directed to treat this order as scorecard of NEET (UG), 2019 Examination in respect of the Petitioner and consequently, requirement on part of the Petitioner to furnish scorecard for the FMGE December-2025 Session as also for future FMGE is dispensed with. Needless to state that in case Petitioner applies for FMGE henceforth, this order will be considered as compliance of the pre-condition of providing the scorecard.

Writ petition stands disposed of in the aforesaid terms along with the pending application.
