    • Candidates must regularly check the portal for updates, schedule, and instructions.

    • Eligible NRI candidates can log in and fill their preferred choices of MBBS colleges in Kerala where NRI seats are available.

    • It is advisable to fill as many choices as possible in order of preference.

    • Seats are allotted based on:

    • NEET UG rank

    • Options filled by the candidate

    • Availability of seats under NRI quota in each college

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

    Q: Can an NRI-sponsored candidate (not directly an NRI) apply for the NRI quota in Kerala?
    A:

    Yes. An NRI-sponsored candidate can assume the NRI quota in many cases, provided the sponsor is a proper NRI and close relative (permitted to include parent, grandparent, sibling, uncle, or aunt) and that all necessary documents for NRI sponsorship and relationship have been submitted in the format prescribed by CEE Kerala. Candidates should examine the specific rules applying to that year in the prospectus.

    Q: Who will conduct MBBS NRI contra counselling in Kerala?
    A:

    All admissions to MBBS courses, which also include available NRI quota seats, are directed at the state level by the Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE), Kerala, based on both NEET UG rank and eligibility through KEAM/MBBS counselling portal.

    A:

    Normally, 15% of the total admission is reserved for NRI candidates in most of the self-financing private medical colleges.
