About KEAM NRI Quota Admission
The NRI Quota under KEAM allows candidates sponsored by an NRI relative to seek admission to MBBS/BDS courses in Kerala’s private and self-financing medical colleges. Eligible sponsors typically include close relatives such as parents, siblings, or spouses who are ordinarily residing abroad with a valid visa and employment proof. Candidates applying under this quota are required to upload supporting documents such as the sponsor’s passport copy, visa details, employment certificate, and proof of relationship, along with an equivalency certificate in cases involving foreign qualifications. Since these documents undergo scrutiny, defects or discrepancies are common, which is why CEE has opened this rectification window.
