Pursuing MBBS in Punjab under the NRI quota requires qualifying NEET-UG 2026, submitting valid NRI/OCI/PIO documentation, completing state-level document verification through BFUHS, and participating in the Punjab NEET counselling process. Punjab’s government and private medical colleges reserve a dedicated percentage of seats for NRI applicants, offering a transparent and structured admission pathway. This guide helps you navigate the eligibility, documentation, fees, and counselling process smoothly so you can secure admission in Punjab’s top medical colleges under the NRI quota.
The NRI quota in Punjab MBBS admissions refers to a legally reserved category of seats for Non-Resident Indians, OCI, and PIO candidates, as mandated by the Supreme Court of India. These seats are specifically allocated in Punjab’s government and private medical colleges and are filled only through Punjab NEET counselling conducted by BFUHS. The NRI quota allows eligible foreign-based applicants to secure MBBS seats without competing in the high-cutoff general merit list.
To apply under the NRI quota in Punjab, a candidate must qualify NEET-UG 2026 and provide valid proof of NRI status—this includes sponsorship documents, passport/visa of the sponsor, relationship affidavit, and other required verifications. Punjab strictly follows the MCC/NMC guidelines, ensuring only genuine NRI candidates are admitted under this category.
Punjab typically reserves 15% of seats in private medical colleges and dedicated seats in government medical colleges specifically for NRI applicants. These seats are offered at a fixed USD-based fee structure, making the process transparent and predictable compared to variable management quota fees. The NRI quota provides a smoother admission pathway with less competition and significantly higher chances of securing a seat.
