This correction option is mainly meant for candidates whose uploaded images did not meet NBEMS specifications. The board has flagged such forms, and applicants are being told to make the changes soon instead of waiting till the deadline.

Candidates can use the selective edit window till October 19, 2026. Only specific fields can be changed here, mainly the photograph, signature and thumb impression uploaded earlier in the application. Once this window closes, no further corrections will be allowed before the exam.

To make the change, candidates need to log in on the official NBEMS website, nbe.edu.in, open the FMGE October 2026 application link, and use the selective edit option. The photo and signature should match the size and format NBEMS has specified. Candidates are advised to check the full form once before final submission, and to download the confirmation page after editing for their own record.
