USA and Canada NRIs can pursue MBBS in India under the NRI quota by qualifying NEET-UG 2026 and applying through MCC or state counselling. Private and deemed medical colleges offer reserved NRI seats based on NEET rank and verified documents.
This guide covers eligibility, documents, fees, colleges, and counselling steps to help USA and Canada NRI students secure MBBS admission in India confidently.
The NRI quota in MBBS admissions refers to a fixed percentage of seats reserved in private and deemed medical colleges, as permitted under Supreme Court and NMC regulations. These seats are specifically meant for NRIs, OCI/PIO holders, and Children of NRIs who qualify NEET-UG 2026.
For USA and Canada NRIs, the NRI quota provides a legal and merit-based pathway to study MBBS in India without competing in the general category. Typically, up to 15% of seats in eligible colleges are allocated under this quota, with admissions conducted through MCC or state counselling and fees clearly declared in advance.
Compared to management quota, the NRI quota offers greater transparency, faster processing, and assured seat availability in NMC-approved colleges. The MBBS degree awarded is identical in recognition and validity to that of Indian students and is accepted in India, the USA, Canada, and other countries (subject to licensing exams).
