The Directorate of Medical Education, Government of Rajasthan has issued an order fixing the semester-wise MBBS fee for NRI (Non-Resident Indian) quota seats at four of its government medical colleges — RNT Medical College Udaipur, JLN Medical College Ajmer, Government Medical College Kota, and RUHS-CMS — for students joining in the 2026-27 academic year. The fee is set in US Dollars and covers the entire nine-semester MBBS course. This is not a counselling schedule or admission announcement; it is a fee notification that any NEET UG candidate planning to seek admission under the NRI quota at these colleges must know before they budget for the course or take admission. The order also lays down what happens to fees in future batches, how the dollar amount will be converted into rupees each semester, and what a student must do if they leave the course midway.
For the 2026-27 batch, NRI quota MBBS students at Kota, Udaipur, Ajmer and RUHS government medical colleges will pay 40,202.40 USD at admission (covering the first two semesters) and 20,101.20 USD at the start of each of the remaining seven semesters, with the rupee amount fixed on 1 August or 1 February using the exchange rate then in force.
What is the NRI quota and who does this order affect?
Government medical colleges in Rajasthan reserve a small number of MBBS seats for NRI (Non-Resident Indian) category candidates, filled through NEET UG counselling. These seats carry a much higher, dollar-denominated fee compared to the general or state quota fee, because they are meant for candidates sponsored under the NRI category.
This order applies to NRI quota MBBS seats at four institutions: RNT Medical College, Udaipur; JLN Medical College, Ajmer; Government Medical College, Kota; and RUHS-CMS (referred to in the order as 'RUHS'). It is issued under a 2020 cabinet decision and fixes the fee specifically for students admitted in the 2026-27 academic year. It also states that the same rules will apply to any new NRI quota seats created at Rajasthan's government medical colleges in future.
Semester-wise fee for the 2026-27 batch
The order lays down two payment stages for the nine-semester MBBS course. The first two semesters are billed together as a lump sum at the time of admission, and the remaining seven semesters are billed one at a time, each payable at the start of that semester.
| Stage | When Payable | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| 1st and 2nd Semester (combined) | At the time of admission | 40,202.40 USD |
| Each of the 7 remaining semesters (3rd to 9th) | At the start of that semester | 20,101.20 USD per semester |
Fee will rise 5% every year for future batches
The order specifies that this fee is fixed only for students joining in the 2026-27 academic year. For every batch admitted after 2026-27, the total collated fee for all nine semesters of the MBBS course will be increased by 5% over the previous batch's total fee.
In practical terms, this means a student joining in, say, 2027-28 under the NRI quota at these colleges should expect a total course fee roughly 5% higher than what the 2026-27 batch pays — and this escalation will continue for each subsequent batch.
How the dollar fee gets converted to rupees
Although the fee is fixed in US Dollars, students will actually pay in Indian Rupees. The order specifies exactly how this conversion will be done: the rupee amount will be calculated using the prevailing USD exchange rate on the date each semester begins — either 1 August or 1 February, depending on which semester is starting.
The converted rupee figure will then be rounded off to the nearest Rs 100. This means the exact rupee amount a student pays can differ slightly from semester to semester depending on how the rupee-dollar exchange rate moves, even though the dollar figure itself stays fixed for that batch.
The bond requirement if a student leaves the course midway
The order includes an important safeguard for the colleges: if a student admitted under the NRI quota discontinues the MBBS course before completing all nine semesters, they will be required to execute a bond and deposit an amount equal to the fee for all the remaining, unpaid semesters.
In other words, dropping out midway does not reduce the total financial commitment — the student (or their sponsor) remains liable for the fee of the semesters they would otherwise have paid had they continued the course. NRI quota aspirants and their families should factor this into their decision before taking admission.
Applies to future NRI seats too
The order explicitly states that this fee structure and its escalation clause will also apply to any new NRI quota seats that may be created in future at Rajasthan's government medical colleges — not just the seats that currently exist at Kota, Udaipur, Ajmer and RUHS.
