Primary answer
The NRI quota refers to a reserved category of seats in certain private and deemed medical colleges for Non-Resident Indians (NRIs), Overseas Citizens of India (OCI), and sometimes children or wards of NRIs. Admissions under the NRI quota are also based on NEET UG scores, but the tuition fees are significantly higher than regular seats. Candidates applying under this quota must provide proof of NRI status such as passports, visa documents, or sponsorship affidavits. The exact eligibility rules and fee structures vary depending on the institution and state regulations.
