Introduction
If you are a Non-Resident Indian (NRI) or have NRI relatives sponsoring your medical education, the NRI quota in NEET PG 2025 offers a distinct pathway to secure a postgraduate seat in Deemed Universities. However, the process is strict and requires meticulous documentation.
The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has released a crucial notice dated October 24, 2025, outlining the entire process based on the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) revised guidelines. This guide breaks down the official information into a simple, step-by-step plan to ensure you submit a flawless application and avoid common pitfalls.
Key Update for 2025: The MCC has mandated a specific email-based application window for NRI status verification. Missing this window will disqualify you from the NRI quota.
Who Should Read This Guide?
This blog is essential for you if:
- You are an NRI candidate.
- You are an OCI cardholder.
- You have NRI parents or relatives who will sponsor your education.
- You want to convert your nationality status from Indian to NRI for counselling purposes.
The Golden Rule: One-Time Choice
Before we dive into the details, understand this critical rule: Once the MCC shows you NRI quota seats in any counselling round, you will be treated as an NRI candidate for all subsequent rounds.
This decision is irreversible. More importantly, you will forfeit your right to claim seats under any other quota, including SC, ST, OBC, EWS, or any Minority quota (Jain/Muslim). Choose wisely!
Step-by-Step Application Process
The application for NRI quota verification is done via email within a strict deadline. Follow these steps carefully.
Step 1: Prepare Your Documents
Gather all the mandatory documents listed below. The MCC requires them in a specific order. We recommend creating a single PDF file with bookmarks for each document.
Step 2: The Official Document Checklist
As per MEA guidelines, you must compile the following seven documents:

- Certificate of Relationship: This must be issued by a competent Revenue Authority and should establish the family tree connection between you and your NRI sponsor.
- Sponsorship Affidavit: A notarized affidavit from your NRI sponsor stating that they will bear the entire cost of your tuition and living expenses. This must be supported by a copy of their NRE (Non-Resident External) Bank Account Passbook.
