UAE residents can pursue MBBS in India under the NRI quota by qualifying NEET-UG 2026 and completing official state or MCC counselling. Seats in private and deemed colleges are reserved for NRI candidates, allotted based on NEET score and verified documents. This guide covers eligibility, documents, fees, colleges, and counselling steps to secure your MBBS seat confidently.
The NRI quota in MBBS admissions refers to a legally approved category of seats reserved for Non-Resident Indians (NRIs), OCI, PIO, and Children of NRIs in Indian medical colleges. These seats were permitted following Supreme Court of India guidelines and are offered mainly by private and deemed universities, ensuring a transparent and merit-based admission pathway.
For UAE residents from Dubai and Abu Dhabi, eligibility under the NRI quota requires qualifying NEET-UG 2026 and submitting valid NRI/OCI/PIO documentation (such as passport, visa, and sponsorship proof). Admissions are conducted strictly through official MCC or state-level counselling authorities, with seat allotment based on NEET score, verified documents, and choice filling — not through direct or offline admissions.
Typically, up to 15% of total MBBS seats in eligible private medical colleges are reserved under the NRI quota. Compared to general management quota seats, the NRI quota offers clearer eligibility rules, regulated fee structures, and legally protected admissions, making it a safer and more reliable option for UAE-based NRI families seeking MBBS education in India.
