Expert Answers

What is a CMM certificate in a degree and does it affect my study abroad eligibility?

A CMM (Consolidated Marks Memo) is one university-issued sheet combining marks, credits and CGPA from every semester of your degree. It boosts, not hurts, study abroad eligibility: WES, IQAS and APS evaluations require it, visa officers verify grades with it, and it proves you finished without backlogs.

Which is better for an Indian student, Harvard or Stanford, for MBA or MS programs?

Neither is universally better; it depends on your goals. Choose Harvard's MBA for consulting, banking and its huge 900-plus class network; choose Stanford GSB (under 7 percent acceptance) for tech and startups. For MS in CS or engineering, Stanford's Silicon Valley location makes it the stronger pick.

Is the FMGE exam compulsory for Indian students who complete MBBS abroad?

Yes, FMGE is compulsory for practising medicine in India after a foreign MBBS, unless you are fully licensed in the USA, UK, Australia, Canada or New Zealand. You need 150 of 300 marks to pass, then a compulsory rotating internship. NExT, its planned replacement, stands deferred, so FMGE remains active.
