The National Testing Agency (NTA) has released the official list of 135 candidates who have been provisionally converted from Indian to NRI (Non-Resident Indian) category for NEET UG counselling Round 2 in 2026-27. These candidates applied for NRI status and submitted supporting documents to the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) of the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) for verification. If your name appears on this list, you are now eligible to participate in NRI seat counselling. However, this conversion is provisional — you must produce the original documents at the time of reporting if you receive an NRI seat, or your admission will be cancelled.
If your name is on this NRI eligible list, you can now apply for NRI seats in Round 2 counselling, but you must bring original documents to reporting or your admission will be cancelled.
What is this list and why does it matter?
This is the official list of candidates who have been provisionally approved to compete for NRI (Non-Resident Indian) seats in NEET UG counselling Round 2 for 2026-27. Originally, these 135 candidates were registered as Indian candidates, but they applied to change their status to NRI based on their citizenship or residency status.
NRI seats are a separate quota in medical colleges across India. They typically have different fee structures (usually higher) and different eligibility rules compared to Indian citizen seats. By being on this list, you are now eligible to participate in NRI seat allotment during Round 2 counselling.
The conversion is provisional, meaning it is temporary and conditional. The MCC of DGHS has reviewed the documents you submitted and found them acceptable for counselling purposes. However, the final confirmation happens only when you report to the college after receiving an allotment.
How do I know if I am on this list?
The list contains 135 candidates arranged by serial number (S.No 1 to 135). Each entry shows three pieces of information: the serial number, your NEET roll number, and your full name as it appears in your NEET registration.
To find yourself, search for your NEET roll number or your name in the list. The roll number is the most reliable way to identify yourself, as names can sometimes have spelling variations. If you find your roll number and name match, you are on the eligible list.
If your name does not appear on this list, you are not eligible for NRI seat counselling in Round 2. You will continue to be treated as an Indian candidate and can only apply for Indian category seats.
- Search by your NEET roll number (most reliable method)
- Cross-check your full name as registered with NEET
- The list contains candidates from all states and union territories
- Serial numbers run from 1 to 135
What does 'provisionally converted' mean?
Provisional conversion means your NRI status has been accepted for the purpose of counselling and seat allotment, but it is not final. The MCC has reviewed your documents (such as passport, visa, proof of foreign residency, or other NRI eligibility proof) and found them satisfactory enough to allow you to participate in NRI counselling.
However, this approval is conditional. If you receive an NRI seat allotment and report to the college, you must produce the exact same original documents that you submitted to MCC. The college will verify these documents again. If the documents are missing, incomplete, or do not match what was submitted, your admission can be cancelled even after you have been allotted a seat.
This is why the notice emphasizes in bold: '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.' Do not lose or misplace these documents.
- Provisional = accepted for counselling, not final admission
- Documents reviewed by MCC of DGHS
- Final confirmation happens at college reporting
- Missing or mismatched documents at reporting = admission cancellation
What documents must I bring at the time of reporting?
The notice does not specify which exact documents you must bring, because those depend on the type of NRI status you claimed. However, the notice is clear: you must bring the same original documents that you submitted to MCC for the provisional conversion.
Common NRI eligibility documents include: passport (showing NRI status or foreign residency), visa, proof of foreign employment, proof of foreign residency (such as a utility bill or rental agreement in the name of the candidate or parent), OCI (Overseas Citizen of India) certificate, PIO (Person of Indian Origin) certificate, or other government-issued proof of NRI status.
Before reporting to the college, review the documents you submitted to MCC. Make sure you have the originals (not photocopies) and that they are in good condition. If any document has expired or is missing, contact the college or MCC immediately to clarify what is acceptable. Do not assume a photocopy or a different version of the document will be accepted.
- Bring the exact same original documents you submitted to MCC
- Do not bring photocopies or different versions
- Common documents: passport, visa, proof of foreign residency, OCI/PIO certificate
- Verify documents are valid and not expired before reporting
- If unsure which documents to bring, contact the college in advance
What happens if I don't bring the original documents at reporting?
If you receive an NRI seat allotment and report to the college but do not produce the original documents that were submitted to MCC, your admission will be cancelled. This is not a warning or a penalty — it is a firm rule stated in the notice. The college has no discretion to waive this requirement.
Cancellation means you lose the seat, and you will not be admitted to that college. You will not be able to appeal or request a second chance. This is why the notice repeats this point in bold and red text — it is critical.
To avoid this outcome, keep your original NRI documents safe from now until you report to the college. Do not lend them to anyone, do not submit them to any other authority without keeping a copy for yourself, and do not assume you can find them later. Treat them as essential as your NEET admit card.
- Missing documents at reporting = automatic admission cancellation
- No exceptions, no appeals, no second chance
- College cannot waive this requirement
- Keep original documents safe and accessible until reporting
What is the next step if my name is on this list?
If your name appears on the NRI eligible list, you are now eligible to participate in NEET UG counselling Round 2 for 2026-27 as an NRI candidate. The next step is to wait for the counselling schedule and registration portal to open. The MCC will announce the dates for Round 2 counselling separately.
When counselling opens, you will log into the official counselling portal (typically the MCC website or the state counselling portal, depending on your state) using your NEET roll number and password. During registration, you will see an option to select your category — you should now select NRI instead of Indian. You will then fill in your choices of colleges and courses (MBBS or BDS) in order of preference.
After you submit your choices, the counselling algorithm will process all applications and generate an allotment list. If you are allotted an NRI seat, you will receive a notification. You must then report to the college on the specified date with all required documents, including the original NRI eligibility documents.
- Wait for Round 2 counselling schedule announcement
- Log into counselling portal with NEET roll number
- Select NRI category during registration
- Fill in college and course preferences
- Check allotment list when released
- Report to college with original documents if allotted
Can I still apply for Indian category seats if I am on the NRI list?
The notice does not explicitly state whether you can apply for both NRI and Indian seats simultaneously. However, in most NEET counselling systems, once you are registered as NRI, you are placed in the NRI merit list and compete only for NRI seats. You cannot typically switch between categories during the same round.
If you wish to apply for Indian seats instead, you would need to request a reversal of your NRI status before counselling begins. This would require contacting MCC and providing evidence that your NRI conversion was incorrect or that you wish to withdraw it. This process is not described in this notice, so you should contact MCC directly if you have this question.
The safest approach is to decide before counselling begins whether you want to compete as NRI or Indian. Once you register for counselling in one category, you are committed to that category for that round.
- NRI status typically means you compete only for NRI seats in that round
- Switching categories mid-counselling is usually not allowed
- To revert to Indian status, contact MCC before counselling begins
- Decide your category before registering for counselling
What if my name is not on this list but I applied for NRI status?
If you applied for NRI conversion but your name does not appear on this list, your application has been rejected. The MCC has reviewed your documents and found them insufficient or not meeting NRI eligibility criteria. You will not be eligible for NRI seat counselling in Round 2.
You will remain registered as an Indian candidate and can only apply for Indian category seats during counselling. If you believe your application was rejected in error, you should contact MCC immediately with evidence of your NRI status. However, the notice does not provide a process for appeals, so contact details and procedures would need to be obtained from the official MCC website or counselling portal.
Do not attempt to register as NRI during counselling if your name is not on this list. The system will not allow it, and any attempt to misrepresent your category could result in disqualification.
- Name not on list = NRI application rejected
- You remain an Indian candidate
- Apply only for Indian category seats
- Contact MCC if you believe the rejection was an error
- Do not attempt to register as NRI if not on the list

What does it mean if my name is on the NRI eligible candidates list?
It means the MCC has provisionally approved your conversion from Indian to NRI category based on the documents you submitted. You are now eligible to participate in NEET UG counselling Round 2 as an NRI candidate and can apply for NRI seats in medical colleges. However, this approval is conditional — you must produce the original documents at the time of reporting to the college, or your admission will be cancelled.
How do I find my name on this list?
Search for your NEET roll number in the list (the most reliable method), or look for your full name as registered with NEET. The list contains 135 candidates arranged by serial number. If you find your roll number and name, you are on the eligible list. If not, your NRI application has been rejected and you remain an Indian candidate.
What happens if I don't bring my original NRI documents when I report to the college?
Your admission will be cancelled. The notice explicitly states that if you receive an NRI seat allotment but fail to produce the original documents at reporting, your admission is liable to be cancelled. There are no exceptions or appeals. Keep your original documents safe until you report to the college.
Which documents do I need to bring at reporting?
You must bring the exact same original documents that you submitted to MCC for your NRI conversion. These typically include passport, visa, proof of foreign residency, OCI/PIO certificate, or other government-issued proof of NRI status — depending on the type of NRI status you claimed. The notice does not specify which documents, so refer to what you submitted to MCC.
Can I apply for both NRI and Indian seats if I am on this list?
The notice does not explicitly address this. In most counselling systems, once you are registered as NRI, you compete only for NRI seats in that round. If you wish to apply for Indian seats instead, you would need to request a reversal of your NRI status before counselling begins by contacting MCC. Decide your category before registering for counselling.
What if my name is not on this list but I applied for NRI status?
Your NRI application has been rejected. You will remain an Indian candidate and can only apply for Indian category seats during counselling. If you believe the rejection was an error, contact MCC immediately with supporting evidence. Do not attempt to register as NRI during counselling if your name is not on this list.

This notice does not provide the dates for Round 2 counselling. The schedule will be announced separately by MCC. Check the official MCC website and counselling portal regularly for announcements. Typical phases include registration, choice filling, allotment, and reporting, each with specific deadlines.
Is this NRI status final, or can it be changed later?
Your NRI status is provisional for counselling purposes. It becomes final only when you report to the college after receiving an allotment and produce the original documents. If the documents are missing or do not match, your admission can be cancelled. Once you report successfully, your NRI status is confirmed for that admission.
Who should I contact if I have questions about my NRI status or this list?
Contact the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) of DGHS through the official counselling portal or the MCC website. Do not rely on unofficial sources. If you need to appeal a rejection or clarify your status, contact MCC before counselling begins.
What is the difference between NRI seats and Indian seats?
NRI seats are a separate quota reserved for Non-Resident Indian candidates. They typically have different fee structures (usually higher) and may have different eligibility rules. By being on this NRI eligible list, you can now compete for these NRI seats instead of Indian seats. The exact number of NRI seats and fees vary by college.
If your name appears on this NRI eligible candidates list, congratulations — you are now eligible to participate in NEET UG counselling Round 2 as an NRI candidate. Your immediate action is to keep this list for reference and safeguard your original NRI eligibility documents. Watch the official MCC website and counselling portal for the announcement of Round 2 counselling dates, registration deadlines, and choice-filling schedule. When counselling opens, register with your NEET roll number, select NRI as your category, and fill in your college and course preferences. If you receive an allotment, report to the college on the specified date with all original documents — failure to do so will result in cancellation of your admission. Do not delay or assume you can find documents later.
