International Higher School of Medicine FMGE pass rate
NBEMS institute-wise reports, 2015–18 to 2025 · Kyrgyzstan
In the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) 2025 report, 698 of 3,816 candidates with a degree from International Higher School of Medicine passed the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) (18.29%). Nationally, 16,973 of 78,905 passed that year (21.51%). Across every NBEMS report since 2015–18, 3,506 of 17,547 passed (19.98%).
Note: NBEMS’s 2019 and 2020 reports print no row for International Higher School of Medicine (IHSM). Instead they print 2,244 candidates (2019) and 2,517 (2020) under “International School of Medicine, International University of Kyrgyzstan”, another Bishkek school. The 2021 report prints both names, and from 2022 the reports print no row under that other name apart from its Eastern Medical Campus. NBEMS gives no reason. This record counts only the rows printed under IHSM’s own name (WDOMS F0000840), so it may leave out IHSM graduates who sat FMGE in 2019 and 2020. The 2012–14 report’s “Kyrgyz International High School of Medicine” (51 of 219) is not a name WDOMS gives IHSM, so it is not counted either.

NBEMS lists candidates under the name printed on their degree, so where it prints this university under more than one name in a report the rows are added together. The 2012–14 and 2015–18 reports each cover several years. The 2025 report gives each session separately; its two session rows are added here.

What this record does not tell you
An FMGE record describes graduates who sat the exam, not the course a student starts today. It says nothing on whether a degree meets India’s Foreign Medical Graduate Licentiate Regulations, 2021, and NMC endorses no list of foreign universities. How to check a degree against those rules is on our NMC guide, and the country’s other universities are on MBBS in Kyrgyzstan.
Every university we track is on FMGE pass rates by university, and the latest session’s national result is on the FMGE exam guide. Questions about International Higher School of Medicine? Talk to a counsellor.
