Malaysia NRIs can study MBBS in India under the NRI quota 2026 by qualifying NEET-UG and applying through MCC or state counselling. Top private and deemed medical colleges reserve NRI seats, allotted based on NEET rank and valid Malaysia NRI/OCI/PIO documents.
This guide helps Malaysia NRIs with eligibility, documents, fees, top colleges, and counselling for a smooth, transparent MBBS admission with support from GetIntoCampus.
The NRI quota in MBBS admission refers to seats reserved for Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) in Indian medical colleges, as mandated by the Supreme Court of India. These seats are part of a legal framework that ensures eligible NRI students have a dedicated pathway to pursue MBBS in India without competing in the general quota.
To qualify under the NRI quota, the student must be an Indian citizen residing abroad, or their parent/guardian must be working abroad with valid employment documents. For Malaysia residents, this means providing proof of NRI status, OCI/PIO documents, and NEET qualification.
Typically, 15% of seats in private and deemed medical colleges are reserved under the NRI quota. Compared to management quota, NRI quota offers transparent fees, legal protection, and simplified admission procedures, making it a preferred option for Malaysian students. Admissions are strictly based on NEET rank, ensuring merit-based allocation.
