The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has released the official list of eligible candidates for the NRI (Non-Resident Indian) quota in NEET PG 2026 Round 1 counselling for the 2026–27 academic session. This list contains over 500 candidates who have been provisionally converted from Indian to NRI category based on document scrutiny. If your roll number appears on this list, you are eligible to participate in NRI quota counselling. However, there is a critical requirement: you must produce the original documents you submitted to MCC at the time of reporting if you are allotted an NRI seat, or your admission will be cancelled.
Check if your roll number is on the NRI eligible list; if allotted an NRI seat, you must bring original documents to reporting or face admission cancellation.

Unlock My College ListWhat Is This List?
This is the official MCC list of candidates who have been provisionally approved to compete for NRI (Non-Resident Indian) quota seats in NEET PG 2026 Round 1 counselling. The list contains roll numbers and candidate names of over 500 doctors who originally applied as Indian candidates but have now been reclassified as NRI for counselling purposes.
The conversion from Indian to NRI category is provisional and is based on scrutiny of documents (such as passport, visa, proof of residence abroad, or other NRI eligibility proof) that candidates submitted to MCC. This means MCC has reviewed your documents and found them acceptable for NRI classification at this stage.
Who Is on This List?
The list includes NEET PG 2026 candidates across all specialties (MD, MS, PG Diploma) who applied for counselling and submitted NRI eligibility documents to MCC. The candidates are identified by their 11-digit roll number and full name. The list spans 7 pages and includes candidates from across India and abroad.
If your roll number and name appear on this list, you are provisionally eligible for NRI quota counselling in Round 1. This does not mean you have been allotted a seat—it means you are now cleared to compete for NRI seats during the counselling process.
How to Check If You Are on the List
Search the 7-page PDF document for your roll number (the 11-digit number assigned to you during NEET PG registration). The list is organized by roll number in ascending order, making it easier to locate your entry. Each row shows your roll number and full name as registered.
If you find your roll number and name match exactly, you are on the eligible list. If your name does not appear, you have not been approved for NRI conversion at this stage. In that case, you would continue in the Indian candidate category for counselling.
- Search by your 11-digit roll number
- Verify your full name matches the registration records
- Check all 7 pages if needed
- Note the exact spelling of your name as it appears on the list
What 'Provisional' Conversion Means
The word 'provisional' is critical. Your conversion to NRI status is not final. It is conditional and subject to verification of your original documents at the time of reporting (joining) if you are allotted an NRI seat. MCC has accepted your documents for counselling purposes, but the final confirmation happens only when you report to the college with the original papers.
This means: (1) you can now participate in NRI quota counselling, (2) if you are allotted an NRI seat, you must bring the same original documents to the college on the reporting date, and (3) if you fail to produce those documents or if they are found to be false or invalid, your admission will be cancelled immediately.

Critical Requirement: Original Documents at Reporting
This is the most important trap. The notice explicitly states: 'The candidates have to produce the same original documents at the time of Reporting in case NRI seat is allotted to them, failing which their admission is liable to get cancelled.' This means if you are allotted an NRI seat and you do not bring the original documents (passport, visa, proof of residence abroad, or whatever you submitted to MCC), your admission will be cancelled on the spot.
Do not assume that because your name is on the eligible list, your admission is secure. The college will verify your documents during reporting. If the documents are missing, invalid, or do not match what you submitted to MCC, your seat will be forfeited. Keep your original documents safe and bring them to reporting without fail.
- Bring the exact same original documents you submitted to MCC
- Do not bring photocopies or scanned versions
- Failure to produce documents = admission cancellation
- Bring documents even if you think they are 'obvious' (e.g., passport)
- Verify document validity before reporting date
What Happens Next in Counselling?
Being on this eligible list means you can now participate in NEET PG 2026 Round 1 counselling. During counselling, you will fill in your choice of colleges and specialties. Your rank and the NRI quota seats available will determine whether you are allotted a seat. NRI quota seats are typically limited and highly competitive, so allotment is not guaranteed even if you are eligible.
If you are allotted an NRI seat, you will receive an allotment letter with a reporting date and college details. You must then report to that college on the specified date with all original documents. If you are not allotted a seat in Round 1, you may participate in subsequent rounds (Round 2, Stray Vacancy, etc.) if they are conducted.
- Participate in Round 1 counselling choice filling
- Await allotment result based on rank and NRI seat availability
- If allotted, receive allotment letter with reporting date
- Report to college with original documents on the specified date
- If not allotted, wait for further rounds
What Documents Do You Need to Bring?
The notice does not specify which exact documents you must bring, because it assumes you already know what you submitted to MCC. The documents typically required for NRI verification include: passport (original), visa (original), proof of residence abroad (such as a utility bill, lease agreement, or employment letter), or any other document that proves your NRI status. Whatever you submitted to MCC during the NRI conversion request, bring those same originals.
Do not assume the college will accept a different set of documents or a different version of the same document. Bring exactly what you submitted. If you are unsure what you sent to MCC, contact MCC or check your submission confirmation email before the reporting date.
- Passport (original)
- Visa (original, if applicable)
- Proof of residence abroad (utility bill, lease, employment letter, etc.)
- Any other document you submitted to MCC for NRI conversion
- Bring originals, not photocopies
Important Notes on NRI Quota
NRI quota seats are a small fraction of total PG seats in India. They are reserved for Indian citizens living abroad (Non-Resident Indians) and are filled through a separate counselling process. The number of NRI seats varies by college and specialty. Being on the eligible list does not guarantee a seat; it only means you can compete for the available NRI seats.
NRI candidates typically have higher fees and different terms of admission compared to Indian candidates. If you are allotted an NRI seat, you will be required to pay NRI-level fees (which are significantly higher than Indian fees) and comply with any NRI-specific regulations set by the college or MCC.

What If Your Name Is Not on the List?
If you searched the list and your roll number does not appear, it means your NRI conversion request has not been approved at this stage. This could be because: (1) you did not submit NRI documents to MCC, (2) your documents were incomplete or invalid, (3) MCC is still reviewing your documents, or (4) your application was rejected.
If your name is not on the list, you will participate in counselling as an Indian candidate (in the Indian quota, not NRI quota). You can still compete for Indian quota seats. If you believe your NRI conversion was wrongly rejected, contact MCC immediately to clarify the reason and request reconsideration if applicable.
- Not on the list = NRI conversion not approved
- You will participate as an Indian candidate
- Contact MCC if you believe this is an error
- You can still compete for Indian quota seats
- Check MCC website for appeal or reconsideration process
Key Dates and Deadlines
The notice is dated 21 October 2026 and is released for Round 1 counselling of the 2026–27 academic session. The exact dates for Round 1 counselling (choice filling, allotment, reporting) are not mentioned in this notice. You must check the MCC website or the NEET PG 2026 counselling schedule for the specific dates of Round 1 choice filling, allotment result, and reporting.
Mark the reporting date carefully once you receive your allotment letter. Reporting is typically time-bound (e.g., 24 hours or 48 hours from allotment). Missing the reporting date means forfeiture of your seat.
- NRI eligible list released: 21 October 2026
- Round 1 counselling dates: Check MCC website
- Reporting date: Will be mentioned in allotment letter
- Bring original documents on reporting date
- Missing reporting deadline = loss of seat
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Mistake 1: Assuming your admission is confirmed just because your name is on the eligible list. Being eligible for NRI counselling does not mean you will get a seat. Allotment depends on your rank, specialty choice, and seat availability.
Mistake 2: Not bringing original documents to reporting. This is the most common reason for admission cancellation. Even if you are allotted a seat, if you do not produce the original documents, your admission will be cancelled immediately.
Mistake 3: Bringing photocopies or scanned versions instead of originals. The college will not accept copies. Bring the actual original documents.
Mistake 4: Forgetting to check the reporting date or missing the deadline. Once allotted, you have a limited time to report. Missing this deadline forfeits your seat.
Mistake 5: Not verifying that your name and roll number on the list match your registration exactly. If there is a spelling error or mismatch, contact MCC to correct it before counselling.

How do I know if I am on the NRI eligible list?
Search the 7-page PDF document for your 11-digit roll number. If your roll number and name appear on the list, you are provisionally eligible for NRI quota counselling. The list is organized by roll number in ascending order, so you can search systematically.
What does 'provisionally converted' mean?
It means MCC has accepted your NRI documents for counselling purposes, but the conversion is not final. You can now participate in NRI quota counselling. However, if you are allotted an NRI seat, you must produce the same original documents at reporting. If you fail to do so, your admission will be cancelled.
What happens if I don't bring original documents to reporting?
Your admission will be cancelled immediately. The notice explicitly states that if you are allotted an NRI seat and fail to produce the original documents at reporting, your admission is liable to be cancelled. This is non-negotiable.
Can I bring photocopies or scanned versions of my documents?
No. You must bring the original documents. Photocopies and scanned versions will not be accepted. The college will verify the originals during reporting.
What if my name is not on the NRI eligible list?
If your name is not on the list, your NRI conversion has not been approved. You will participate in counselling as an Indian candidate in the Indian quota. You can still compete for Indian quota seats. If you believe this is an error, contact MCC immediately.
Does being on the eligible list guarantee I will get an NRI seat?
No. Being on the eligible list means you can compete for NRI seats, but allotment is not guaranteed. NRI seats are limited and highly competitive. Your allotment depends on your rank, specialty choice, and the number of NRI seats available.
When do I need to bring the original documents?
You need to bring the original documents at the time of reporting (joining) if you are allotted an NRI seat. The reporting date will be mentioned in your allotment letter. Reporting is typically time-bound, so do not miss the deadline.
What documents should I bring for NRI verification?
Bring the exact same original documents you submitted to MCC for NRI conversion. These typically include passport, visa, proof of residence abroad (utility bill, lease agreement, employment letter), or any other document that proves your NRI status. Check your submission confirmation email if you are unsure.
What if there is a spelling error in my name on the list?
If your name has a spelling error or does not match your registration exactly, contact MCC immediately to correct it. Do not assume the college will accept a mismatch. Verify that your name and roll number match your registration before counselling begins.
Can I participate in both Indian and NRI quota counselling?
The notice does not explicitly address this. Typically, if you are on the NRI eligible list, you participate in NRI quota counselling. Check the MCC counselling guidelines or contact MCC to clarify whether you can participate in both quotas or must choose one.
What are NRI fees compared to Indian candidate fees?
The notice does not specify NRI fees. NRI fees are significantly higher than Indian candidate fees and vary by college and specialty. Check the college website or MCC seat matrix for NRI fee details before counselling.
What should I do if I am allotted an NRI seat but cannot report on the specified date?
Contact the college and MCC immediately to request a postponement or extension. However, reporting deadlines are typically strict and non-negotiable. Missing the deadline will result in forfeiture of your seat. Plan ahead to ensure you can report on time.
If your roll number is on this NRI eligible list, congratulations—you are cleared to compete for NRI quota seats in NEET PG 2026 Round 1 counselling. Check the MCC website for the exact dates of Round 1 choice filling and allotment. Most importantly, if you are allotted an NRI seat, bring the original documents you submitted to MCC to the college on the reporting date without fail—failure to do so will result in admission cancellation. Keep your documents safe and verify the reporting date as soon as you receive your allotment letter.
