What is MBBS NRI Quota?

The NRI quota means a certain percentage of seats reserved in educational institutions, including medical colleges across India, for students fitting certain criteria. These seats are set aside for those who are either Non-Resident Indians themselves or have a Non-Resident Indian sponsoring or related to them.

The NRI quota essentially allows such students to gain admission to these institutes with relatively lower scores or ranks compared to general merit students.

Importance of MBBS NRI Quota 2024-25

If a candidates has secured low score in NEET but has the NRI support, either the student could be an NRI candidates or has an NRI sponsor, then despite their low score they can get a seat in the government medical colleges or private medical colleges.

However, the fees for NRI quota seats tends to be significantly higher, often double then the regular fees. The exact percentage of seats reserved under the NRI quota and the eligibility requirements can vary across different states and specific colleges/universities in India.

Students should know that it is not necessary that every state medical colleges will offer NRI quota, and even if a state has an NRI quota, it is not necessary that it exists in both government and private medical colleges of that state.

In some states of India, the government medical colleges offer the NRI seats and not the private medical colleges, and vice versa.

So, there is a lot of complicated processes involved, and there is not much awareness about them. But don’t worry, here in this article, we will help you have all the details you need to know for NRI Quota MBBS admission in Karnataka. So make sure you read the entire article.

Instead, NRI quota seats are available only in private medical colleges and Deemed Universities.

For private medical colleges, the student will have to register for state counselling conducted by the KEA, whereas for deemed medical colleges, they will have to register under MCC counselling.

You have qualified in NEET, and you are not able to get admission to your preferred MBBS College. Don’t worry, we are here to help you Freely.

MCC Counseling Procedure for MBBS 2024

MCC Counseling 2024 Update

• OCI candidates can even take up UR category management seats, unlike last year, where they had to select only NRI seats.
• The fourth round, i.e., the stray vacancy round, which used to be conducted at the college level offline, will be conducted online via MCC counseling.

KEA Counseling Procedure for MBBS 2024

The First step after qualifying for NEET-UG is to get register online with the Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA).

The KEA website will host the calendar of events on its official website. The calendar of events will notify the dates for Registration, Document verification, option entry, Fee Payment, uploading of Admission order letter, and last date for online and offline reporting to the college.

There would be a registration amount of Rs 2000, and apart from that, the KEA takes an adjustable security deposit of 1 lakh in the mop-up round to prevent seat wastage. KEA also undertook the entire amount of fee DD as a security deposit for the special stray vacancy round, which was conducted online.

This means, If any student wants to opt for NRI Quota or Q category seats among the medical colleges whose fee structure ranges from 24 lakhs per annum to 50 lakhs per annum excluding food and accommodation, the student has to deposit that particular amount DD in KEA before the start of special stray vacancy round of counseling. Then, only the portal was opened for those candidates to do option entry.

KEA Counselling Process First Step to Stray Vacancy Round

After having a thorough understanding of the basic things that I have mentioned above, I would like to guide you on the counseling process. It is a very crucial and important step.

(Students who want to opt for NRI Quota seats can get themselves converted into the NRI Category with the help of supporting documents hosted on their official website. It is advised to go through the fee structure hosted on the official website thoroughly for each college. The list of students whose documents have been  accepted and granted permission to opt for medical seats in the NRI category will be hosted on the website)

First, the student has to register on the KEA official website by paying the registration fees and refundable security deposit ( if any ) to participate in the counseling procedure. Then, he has to upload the necessary documents in the KEA portal in PDF format for document verification.

The date for the upload of lists of students who got verified would be hosted on the KEA website. After this, the student has to download the verification slip. This slip contains a secret key, which is required to do the option entry.

While doing the option entry, a student would be able to opt for the colleges as per the fee structure mentioned. The fee structure of each quota seat, such as P, Q, and NRI quotas, would be mentioned on the side of each college so that a student doesn’t choose the wrong options /colleges he is not interested in.

After this step, there would be an announcement of the results of the first round. The procedure for payment of fees with the last date and the procedure for joining/reporting to the college with the last date would be mentioned in the calendar of events hosted on the kea website. The second round of counseling and the mop-up round would continue in the same manner.

(Counseling for Students who want to opt for Private Medical Deemed Universities in Karnataka would be done by MCC).

Direct Admission in Stray Vacancy round and the requirement

After the mop-up round is conducted, there are always some seats in lots of private medical colleges that are left vacant. These seats are mainly NRI Quota seats or Q quota seats. These seats are left vacant because of mainly their very high fee structure.

Approximately, the fee structure of such seats, which are left vacant for MBBS, ranges from 24 lakh pa – 50 lakh pa. So, the counseling process for these unallotted / Not Reported seats will be conducted in online.

But from 2023 onwards, even the last round was conducted online by not only KEA but by all the counseling authorities of all the states for private medical colleges in that particular state.

However, since this takes place at the last moment or the last date of the admission process, it is advisable for a parent to get in touch with a good education consultant who is well-updated with the entire process and well-informed.

Since this is a very complex process, either a parent can keep himself updated with information about all the private medical colleges or can get in touch with a good and reliable consultant who can guide you on it. This is the best process to get a seat at a lower fee in a good medical college as well.

(The stray vacancy counseling process for direct admission in MBBS would be the same for Private Medical Deemed universities in all over India as well).

NRI Quota in Deemed University in Karnataka 2024

For the Deemed Universities, a student has to apply through MCC. This authority is responsible for counseling MBBS seats of the private DEEMED Universities all over India.

There would be a separate refundable/adjustable security deposit of approximately 2 lakhs to register for counseling of such seats apart from a Non-refundable registration amount of Rs 5000.

The students who are opting for NRI Seats have to pay the same registration amount.

Such guidelines would be mentioned clearly on the respective website of the respective counseling authority.

The most major thing to take care of while opting for such kinds of seats is one’s affordability. Since the NRI fee for MBBS is approximately 24 lakh per annum to 45 lakh per annum. You have to be well prepared and choose the colleges wisely.
