MCC Grants Category Change for 188 NRI Candidates in NEET UG Counselling 2025
In an update for NEET UG 2025 candidates aiming to convert their category to Non-Resident Indian (NRI), the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has outlined the necessary steps.
Candidates seeking conversion must submit their NEET UG 2025 scorecard issued by the National Testing Agency (NTA) along with other essential documents via email to [email protected] by the specified deadline, which is August 3, 2025.
The documents required include:
- A self-attested declaration confirming the NRI/OCI/PIO status of the candidate or their parent.
- An OCI/PIO card (if applicable).
- An NRI Embassy certificate for either the candidate or the parent.
In addition to these documents, candidates must fill out and submit the prescribed declaration form provided by MCC.
It is important to note that seat allotment under the NRI category is provisional and subject to verification by the allotted college authorities. Candidates must present the original documents, especially the embassy certificate, during college reporting. Any discrepancy or forgery may lead to the cancellation of the allotted seat.
After document submission and approval, candidates can select their preferred seats through the MCC portal. However, it is crucial to remember that seat allotment can be cancelled if any submitted document is found to be fake during verification by the college authorities.
Candidates must submit their requests for conversion via email to the specified address. It is also noteworthy that the registration deadline for PwBD candidates has been extended to August 3, 2025.
These details were outlined in official MCC communications and reported by reputable sources such as NDTV Education, Indian Express, and India Today (August 2025) [1][2][3]. Additional procedural information and criteria for NRI eligibility can be found on Edufever’s guidance page [4].
