Bahrain residents can study MBBS in India under the NRI quota 2026 by qualifying NEET-UG and applying through MCC (All-India Quota) or the respective state counselling authorities. Top private and deemed medical colleges reserve NRI quota seats, which are allotted based on NEET rank and valid NRI/OCI/PIO documents.
This guide for Bahrain-based NRIs explains eligibility, documents, fees, colleges, and counselling. GetIntoCampus provides complete support to ensure a smooth and transparent MBBS admission process in India.
The NRI quota in MBBS admission is a special category of seats approved by the Supreme Court of India, created to help Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) and their children study medicine in India. These seats are available mainly in private and deemed medical colleges and are allotted strictly based on NEET-UG rank and valid NRI sponsorship.
For Bahrain residents, NRI quota is an excellent option as it offers lower NEET cutoffs, faster admissions, and clear fee structures compared to management quota. To qualify, the candidate must be sponsored by an NRI parent or close blood relative (working abroad) and provide proof of NRI/OCI/PIO status. Typically, up to 15% of MBBS seats in private medical colleges are reserved under this quota and governed by NMC regulations and court guidelines, ensuring transparency and legality.
