    Medical colleges in India are a choice for a vast number of students. The MCI, or the Medical Council of India, governs Indian medical education. Admission to India’s most prestigious private and government medical colleges is granted based on NEET UG score. Apart from that, 15% All India quota and 85% state quota, and Deemed Universities in India offer admission to NRI students under the 50% NRI quota reserved by the Medical Council of India. 

    Both the citizens of India having Indian origin and the overseas citizens of India are included in this NRI quota. However, they must clear the NEET Exam. That is the basic prerequisite for all NRI aspirants and Indian candidates. When we talk about the admissions of NRI aspirants in medical colleges in India, people generally think that this quota exists in private medical colleges only. But the truth is that some states of India provide NRI quota admissions in government medical colleges. 

    If you are an NRI who wants to get MBBS admission in one of the medical colleges in India, there will be a lot of questions on your mind. This discussion aims to answer all those questions and give you more detailed information on the topic. We will provide information regarding the states that provide NRI quota admission in MBBS colleges in government and private medical colleges, their fee structure, and the expected cut-off to get admitted to these colleges in NEET 2022. By the end of this discussion, you will be acquainted with every detail regarding the admission of NRI students to medical colleges in India.

    Who falls under the NRI category?

    • A candidate falls under the NRI category if they fulfill the following criteria:
    • A person who is a citizen of India or is of Indian origin but is not living in India currently but rather living abroad.
    • The candidate must be living abroad as an NRI for five years to be considered an NRI. That means you must have cleared your 10th and 12th examinations from that particular country. 
    • The children of Indian citizens who live abroad either for business or employment are also considered NRI.
    • The children born abroad but the parents are of Indian origin fall under the NRI category.
    • The candidates who are the children of central or state government employees staying abroad on deputation period are also considered NRI.

    MBBS admission criteria for NRI students

    • The applicants must hold a valid passport.
    • The seats offered under the NRI quota will only be allocated to the bonafide NRIs.
    • The candidate must have passed the NEET examination of that year.
    • The candidates applying under the NRI sponsorship must have a real blood relation to the financial supporter, a father, mother, sister, brother, uncle, or aunt. 
    • The candidate must have passed Physics, Chemistry, and Biology in Class 12 or an equivalent examination with 60% or above marks.
    • Age limit: The minimum age for giving NEET-UG is 17 years, and the maximum age limit is 25 years. 

    Indian States that grant NRI quota seats

    There are, in total, five Indian states that provide NRI quota seats in their government and private medical colleges. Those are Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Puducherry. 7-15% of MBBS seats in these colleges are reserved for NRI students. The fee structure of these colleges differs from state to state. Some of these states have a fee structure of 12,500 $ per year; on the other hand, some states have a fee structure of 30,000$ as a tuition fee for NRI students. 

    If an NRI student secures a seat but does not claim it later or leaves it vacant, such seats are transferred to the state quota in general or any other category. The cut-off of these colleges for the NRI students is low as the number of students applying for these seats is generally low. Due to the fewer NRI candidates, the competition is less, and the cut-off doesn’t go that high. It has been seen that an NRI student is able to secure one of these seats at even 300-350 marks. 

    State-wise fee structure

    • In Himachal Pradesh, the NRI fee structure for government colleges is equal to approximately 20,000$ or  INR per annum.
    • In Haryana, the NRI fee structure for the MBBS course in government colleges is approximately equal to 25,000$ at the time of admission and 12,500$ per year for the next four years.
    • In Rajasthan, the fee structure of government medical colleges for NRI candidates was revised in 2020. The candidate must deposit 30,000$ and the subsequent per semester fee is 15,000$ at the time of admission
    • In Puducherry, the fee structure for Indira Gandhi Medical College and Research Institute for NRI students is 100,000$ for the full course. Of this, 15,000$ is a caution deposit, which is refundable. 
    • In addition to the seats in government medical colleges, all these states have quotas for NRI students in their private medical colleges
    • Apart from these five states that provide NRI quota seats in their private and government medical colleges, some states like Gujarat, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh, Kerala, Karnataka, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu provide only self-financed private medical college seats for NRI students. Apart from these, all Deemed Medical colleges or universities have 15% reservation quota seats for NRI students, for which counselling is conducted by NCC.
