*Update on Part 1 and 2 exam fees for candidates in India

A Goods and Services Tax (GST) now applies to all MRCOG Part 1 and Part 2 exams sat in India. This change came into effect in January 2025, following new regulations from the Indian tax authority.

For 2025, The GST adds £103 to the standard £572 fee, bringing the total cost to £675. The RCOG is required to collect this tax and remit it in full to the Indian government.

Please note that the MRCOG Part 3 examination fees will not be affected by this change.

Please understand that this change is a direct result of the Indian tax authority's regulations and not a decision made by the RCOG. Despite the College’s best efforts to mitigate the impact, the imposition of this tax is beyond our control and we are required to implement it to comply with regulations, while maintaining the quality and integrity of our examinations.

We remain committed to ensuring the MRCOG maintains its internationally recognised status as the gold standard qualification in O&G, providing the highest quality of service and support to our candidates.
