MCC NRI Quota: The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has approved the conversion of 188 candidates from the general Indian category to the NEET UG Non-Resident Indian (NRI) quota. This came as timely relief for several NEET qualifiers holding NRI/OCI/PIO status or claiming eligibility under NRI sponsorship.
These conversions come as part of the NEET UG 2025 Counselling process for MBBS, BDS, and allied undergraduate medical courses under the All India Quota (AIQ) and other reserved quotas.
The decision was announced through an official notice released on the MCC portal. MCC has instructed the approved candidates to submit scanned copies of their supporting documents via email to [email protected] no later than August 3, 2025.

NRI Quota: What It Means
Under the NRI quota, certain medical and dental seats in Indian institutions are reserved for:
- Non-Resident Indians (NRIs),
- Overseas Citizens of India (OCI),
- Persons of Indian Origin (PIO),
- Indian students sponsored by NRI family members.
The tuition fees for these seats are typically higher but offer a second chance for students with international ties to pursue MBBS/BDS courses in India.
