Singapore citizens can pursue MBBS in India under the NRI quota by qualifying NEET-UG 2026 and completing official state or MCC counselling. Private and deemed colleges reserve seats for NRI students, allotted based on NEET score and verified documents.
This guide covers eligibility, documents, fees, top colleges, and counselling steps to help you secure your MBBS seat confidently.
The NRI quota in MBBS admission refers to a fixed percentage of seats reserved for Non-Resident Indians (NRIs), OCI/PIO cardholders, and children/wards of NRIs in Indian medical colleges. These seats are permitted under guidelines laid down by the Supreme Court of India and regulated by the National Medical Commission (NMC), ensuring transparency and merit-based selection through NEET-UG.
Under this quota, eligible Singapore citizens and residents who qualify NEET-UG 2026 can secure admission in private and deemed medical universities across India. Admissions are conducted only through official counselling authorities (state counselling bodies or MCC), with fees pre-declared by colleges and approved by regulatory authorities.
Typically, up to 15% of MBBS seats in private and deemed universities are allocated under the NRI quota. Compared to management quota, the NRI quota offers a legally protected seat category, clearer eligibility norms, and a more structured admission process—making it a safer and more reliable pathway for overseas students.
