The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) under the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare has released the official list of 320 candidates who have been provisionally converted from the Indian category to the NRI (Non-Resident Indian) category for NEET UG Round 3 counselling in the 2026–27 admission season. These candidates applied for NRI status and submitted supporting documents to MCC for verification. The conversion is provisional — candidates must produce the same original documents at the time of reporting if they receive an NRI seat, or their admission will be cancelled. This list is critical for NRI aspirants: if your name appears here, you are now eligible to compete for NRI seats in Round 3; if your name does not appear, you will be counselled in the Indian category.
If your name is on this NRI eligible list, you must bring the original documents you submitted to MCC when you report to your allotted college, or your admission will be cancelled.
What is this list and why does it matter?
This is the official NRI Eligible Candidates List for NEET UG Round 3 counselling, 2026–27, published by MCC. It contains the names and roll numbers of 320 candidates who have been provisionally reclassified from the Indian category to the NRI category based on document scrutiny.
NRI seats are a separate quota in medical colleges — they have different fee structures (usually much higher), different eligibility rules, and different counselling processes. Being on this list means you are now eligible to apply for NRI seats in Round 3. If you are not on this list but applied for NRI status, your application was not approved, and you will be counselled in the Indian category instead.
The word 'provisional' is crucial: your NRI status is not final until you report to your college with the original documents. If you do not produce those documents at reporting, your admission will be cancelled, even if you have been allotted a seat.
Who is on this list?
The list contains 320 candidates across all states and union territories of India. The candidates are identified by their NEET roll number and full name. The list spans 5 pages and includes candidates from diverse backgrounds — the roll numbers suggest representation from multiple states, including Maharashtra, Karnataka, Telangana, Delhi, Tamil Nadu, Odisha, and others.
These candidates originally registered as Indian candidates in the NEET UG 2026 counselling process but later applied to MCC to be reclassified as NRI. They submitted documents (such as passport, visa, proof of residence abroad, or other NRI-defining documents) to support their claim. MCC scrutinised these documents and approved 320 candidates for provisional NRI status.
What does 'provisionally converted from Indian to NRI' mean?
Provisional conversion means MCC has reviewed your documents and found them acceptable on paper — but the conversion is not final. It is conditional on you producing the same original documents in person at the time of reporting to your college.
This is a safeguard: it allows candidates to participate in NRI counselling based on document verification, but it prevents fraud or misrepresentation. If someone submitted false documents, or if the documents are not produced at reporting, the conversion is reversed and the admission is cancelled.
In practical terms: if your name is on this list and you are allotted an NRI seat in Round 3, you must carry the original documents (passport, visa, proof of residence abroad, or whatever you submitted) to your college on the reporting date. The college will verify them. If you cannot produce them, you will not be admitted.
How do I check if my name is on the list?
The list is published in order of roll number across 5 pages. To find your name, locate your NEET roll number in the document. Each row shows a roll number and the candidate's full name.
If your roll number appears on any of the 5 pages, you are on the NRI eligible list. If it does not, your application for NRI status was not approved, and you will be counselled in the Indian category in Round 3.
You can search the PDF using your roll number (Ctrl+F on a computer, or the search function in your PDF reader on a phone). This is faster than reading all 320 names manually.
- Search by your NEET roll number (10-digit number)
- Check all 5 pages of the list
- If found: you are provisionally NRI-eligible
- If not found: you remain in the Indian category
What happens in Round 3 counselling if I am on this list?
In Round 3 counselling, you will be eligible to apply for NRI seats in addition to (or instead of) Indian seats, depending on the counselling portal's rules. NRI seats are typically filled after Indian seats and have separate merit lists and cutoffs. You will compete with other NRI candidates for these seats.
The exact process depends on the counselling authority (MCC for All India Quota seats, or your state counselling authority for state-quota seats). You will log into the counselling portal, fill your choices, and the system will allot seats based on your rank, category, and preferences.
If you are allotted an NRI seat, you will receive an allotment letter. You must then report to the college within the specified time with your original documents. If you do not report or do not produce the documents, your seat will be cancelled and offered to the next candidate.
- You are now eligible for NRI seats in Round 3
- You will compete with other NRI candidates
- NRI seats have separate merit lists and cutoffs
- If allotted, you must report with original documents or lose your seat
What original documents must I produce at reporting?
The notice does not specify which exact documents you must produce — it only says 'the same original documents at the time of Reporting in case NRI seat is allotted to them.' This means you must produce whatever documents you submitted to MCC when you applied for NRI status.
Typically, NRI status is proven by documents such as: a valid passport showing NRI status, a valid visa (student visa, work visa, or residence visa), proof of residence abroad (utility bill, rental agreement, employment letter), or a certificate from an Indian embassy or consulate confirming NRI status. However, the exact documents depend on your individual case.
If you are unsure which documents you submitted, check your email or the MCC portal for a copy of your NRI application. Contact MCC or your state counselling authority if you have lost the documents — do not assume you can produce them later. Failure to produce the original documents will result in cancellation of your admission.
- Produce the SAME original documents you submitted to MCC
- Typically: passport, visa, proof of residence abroad, or embassy certificate
- Check your NRI application to confirm which documents you submitted
- Bring originals, not photocopies (unless the college specifies otherwise)
- Failure to produce documents = admission cancelled
Important: This is a provisional list — document verification is mandatory
The notice emphasizes in bold that this list is provisional. Your NRI status is not guaranteed until you report to your college with the original documents. This is not a formality — it is a legal requirement. If you cannot produce the documents, your admission will be cancelled, even if you have already paid fees or started classes.
The reason for this strictness is to prevent fraud. Some candidates may submit false documents to gain NRI status (which can sometimes offer advantages in certain contexts, though NRI seats typically have higher fees). By making document verification mandatory at reporting, MCC ensures that only genuine NRI candidates are admitted.
If you are on this list, treat it as a conditional approval. Your final admission depends on producing the original documents at reporting.
- ⚠️ Provisional status = not final until documents are verified at reporting
- ⚠️ Failure to produce original documents = admission cancelled
- ⚠️ This applies even if you have paid fees or started classes
- ✅ Keep your original documents safe and bring them to reporting
What if my name is NOT on this list?
If your name does not appear on the NRI eligible list, it means your application for NRI status was not approved by MCC. You will be counselled in the Indian category in Round 3. This does not mean you have done anything wrong — it may simply mean that your documents did not meet the NRI criteria, or there was an error in your application.
You can still participate in Round 3 counselling as an Indian candidate. You will compete for Indian seats based on your NEET rank and category (General, OBC, SC, ST, etc.).
If you believe your NRI application was wrongly rejected, contact MCC immediately. The notice does not provide a deadline for appeals, so act quickly. However, do not wait for an appeal decision — participate in Round 3 counselling as an Indian candidate to secure a seat.
- Your NRI application was not approved
- You will be counselled in the Indian category
- You can still get a seat as an Indian candidate
- Contact MCC if you believe the rejection was an error
- Do not wait for an appeal — participate in Round 3 as Indian

What does it mean if my name is on the NRI eligible candidates list?
It means MCC has provisionally approved your conversion from Indian to NRI category based on the documents you submitted. You are now eligible to apply for NRI seats in Round 3 counselling. However, this approval is conditional — you must produce the same original documents at the time of reporting to your college, or your admission will be cancelled.
How do I check if my name is on the list?
Search the PDF using your NEET roll number (Ctrl+F on a computer). The list contains 320 candidates across 5 pages, each identified by roll number and name. If your roll number appears, you are on the list. If not, your NRI application was not approved.
What happens if I don't produce the original documents at reporting?
Your admission will be cancelled. The notice explicitly states that candidates must produce the same original documents at the time of reporting if an NRI seat is allotted to them. Failure to do so will result in cancellation of admission, even if you have already paid fees or started classes.
What original documents do I need to bring to reporting?
You must bring the same original documents you submitted to MCC when you applied for NRI status. These typically include a valid passport, visa, proof of residence abroad, or an embassy certificate confirming NRI status. Check your NRI application to confirm which documents you submitted. The notice does not specify exact documents because they vary by individual case.
If my name is not on the list, what should I do?
Your NRI application was not approved. You will be counselled in the Indian category in Round 3. You can still participate in counselling and secure a seat as an Indian candidate. If you believe the rejection was an error, contact MCC immediately, but do not wait for an appeal — participate in Round 3 as an Indian candidate to ensure you get a seat.
When is Round 3 counselling? When do I need to report?
The notice does not provide specific dates for Round 3 counselling or reporting. These dates are announced separately by MCC or your state counselling authority. Check the MCC website (mcc.nic.in) regularly for the Round 3 schedule. Once dates are announced, act quickly — counselling rounds move fast, and missing a deadline can result in loss of your seat.
Why is my NRI status only provisional and not final?
Provisional status is a safeguard against fraud. It allows candidates to participate in NRI counselling based on document verification, but it prevents misrepresentation. By making document verification mandatory at reporting, MCC ensures that only genuine NRI candidates are admitted. If you cannot produce the original documents, your NRI status is reversed and your admission is cancelled.
Can I participate in both Indian and NRI counselling in Round 3?
The notice does not specify whether you can apply for both Indian and NRI seats simultaneously in Round 3. This depends on the counselling portal's rules, which are set by MCC or your state counselling authority. Check the Round 3 counselling instructions when they are released. Typically, you can fill choices for both categories, and the system will allot a seat based on your rank and preferences.
What if I have lost the original documents I submitted to MCC?
You must locate and secure the original documents before reporting. If you have lost them, contact MCC or your state counselling authority immediately to see if you can obtain duplicates or certified copies. Do not assume you can produce them later — the notice is clear that original documents must be produced at reporting. Failure to do so will result in cancellation of your admission.
Is this list final, or can it be updated?
The notice does not state whether this list is final or subject to updates. It is possible that MCC may add or remove candidates from the list before Round 3 counselling begins. Check the MCC website regularly for any updates or corrections to the list. If your name was not on the initial list but you believe it should be, contact MCC to inquire about the status of your NRI application.
What is the difference between NRI seats and Indian seats?
NRI seats are a separate quota in medical colleges reserved for Non-Resident Indian candidates. They typically have higher fees than Indian seats, different eligibility criteria, and separate merit lists and cutoffs. Being on the NRI eligible list means you can now compete for these NRI seats in Round 3. If you are not on the list, you will compete for Indian seats instead.
Who should I contact if I have questions about this list?
Contact the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) through their website at mcc.nic.in. For state-quota seats, contact your state counselling authority. The notice does not provide a direct phone number or email, so check the MCC website for contact details and support options.
If your name appears on this NRI eligible candidates list, congratulations — you are now provisionally eligible for NRI seats in Round 3 counselling. Your critical next step is to locate and secure the original documents you submitted to MCC for NRI verification. When Round 3 counselling dates are announced (check mcc.nic.in regularly), participate in counselling and fill your choices. If you are allotted an NRI seat, report to your college on time with the original documents — without them, your admission will be cancelled. If your name is not on the list, do not panic — you will be counselled in the Indian category and can still secure a seat. Act now: verify your name on the list, safeguard your documents, and monitor the MCC website for Round 3 dates.
