Dubai Medical College for Girls (DMCG) Graduate Entry Exam (DGEE) is a multiple-choice examination designed to assess your problem-solving, critical thinking, and knowledge of natural, behavioral, and social science concepts and principles prerequisite to the study of medicine.

Total duration of Exam: 4 hours

Format:
The Graduate entrance test consists of three blocks with a 15-minute break in between the blocks. Each Block is a single best answer type multiple choice question that can be passage-based or discrete.

Details of the blocks are as follows:
