Three private medical colleges in Dehradun — Shri Guru Ram Rai Medical Institute, Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences, and Gautam Buddha Chiktsa Mahavidayalaya — have reserved 15% of their MBBS seats for NRI candidates. All admissions are merit-based on NEET UG 2026 scores. Registration runs from 7–9 September 2026, with allotment results on 11 September and a joining deadline of 18 September. This is the official counselling procedure; candidates must follow all steps and submit every required document to secure their seat.

What is the NRI Quota and Which Colleges Offer It?
The NRI (Non-Resident Indian) quota is a separate admission pathway for Indian citizens who are permanent residents of a foreign country or hold OCI/PIO status. Uttarakhand has earmarked 15% of MBBS seats in three private medical colleges for NRI candidates in the 2026–27 session.
The three colleges offering NRI quota seats are: (1) Shri Guru Ram Rai Medical Institute of Medical Sciences, Dehradun; (2) Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences, Dehradun; (3) Gautam Buddha Chiktsa Mahavidayalaya, Dehradun. All three are private institutions in Dehradun. Admission is strictly on merit based on your NEET UG 2026 score — there is no separate entrance test for NRI candidates.
- 15% seats reserved for NRI candidates at each college
- Merit-based on NEET UG 2026 score only
- All three colleges are private, located in Dehradun
- Allotment priority follows Uttarakhand Government notifications dated 19/08/2026, 24/08/2026, and 27/08/2026
Who is Eligible for NRI Quota Admission?
To be eligible for NRI quota admission, you must first have qualified NEET UG 2026 and meet the NRI status criteria. NRI status is proven by holding one of the following: a valid foreign country passport, a Green Card or Permanent Resident Card, proof of residency in a foreign country issued by a competent authority, or an OCI (Overseas Citizen of India) or PIO (Person of Indian Origin) card issued by the Government of India.
You must also have a sponsor — typically a parent or close relative — who is a Non-Resident Indian and resides abroad. The relationship between you and your sponsor must be proven by a relationship certificate or family tree chart verified by a competent revenue or local authority. Your sponsor must provide a sponsorship affidavit confirming both the relationship and their financial responsibility for your education. An embassy certificate confirming the sponsor's foreign residence is also required.
There is no age limit or category-based reservation within the NRI quota. All eligible NRI candidates compete on the same merit list based on NEET UG 2026 scores. However, if you hold an NRI status certificate or PIO card, you must have been residing abroad at the time of your first NEET attempt, and you must continue to reside abroad during your medical course.
- Must have qualified NEET UG 2026
- Must hold one of: foreign passport, Green Card, Permanent Resident Card, foreign residency proof, OCI card, or PIO card
- Must have an NRI sponsor (parent or close relative) residing abroad
- Relationship with sponsor must be verified by competent authority
- Sponsor must provide sponsorship affidavit and embassy certificate
- No separate age limit or category reservation within NRI quota
- Merit-based on NEET UG 2026 score only

Registration Fee and Security Deposit
Registration for NRI quota counselling is not free. You must pay two amounts: a registration fee of ₹6,500 and a security deposit of ₹1,00,000 (one lakh rupees). The security deposit is non-refundable — you will not get this money back under any circumstances, even if you do not join a college or withdraw later.
Payment must be made online using a credit card, debit card, or net banking. Both amounts must be paid during the registration window (7–9 September 2026) to complete your registration. If you do not pay both amounts by 5:00 PM on 9 September 2026, your registration will not be processed and you will not be eligible for allotment. There is no offline payment option.
The ₹1,00,000 security deposit is meant to ensure that allotted candidates actually join the college. Because it is non-refundable, you should register only if you are genuinely interested in pursuing MBBS through the NRI quota and are prepared to join if allotted.
- Registration fee: ₹6,500
- Security deposit: ₹1,00,000 (non-refundable)
- Total amount to pay: ₹1,06,500
- Payment method: Credit card, debit card, or net banking only
- Payment deadline: 5:00 PM on 9 September 2026
- No offline payment option available
- Security deposit is non-refundable under all circumstances
Step-by-Step Registration and Counselling Process
Registration is entirely online. You do not need to visit the university office or any college in person during registration. Visit the HNBUMU counselling portal (www.hnbumu.ac.in) and log in with your NEET UG 2026 credentials. Fill in all required information accurately — any error in your name, date of birth, or NEET roll number can cause problems later.
After completing your registration form, you must pay the registration fee (₹6,500) and security deposit (₹1,00,000) online. Use a valid credit card, debit card, or net banking account. Keep a record of your payment confirmation and transaction ID. Once payment is successful, your registration is complete.
Next, you must select your college preferences. You can choose from the three colleges offering NRI quota seats. The order in which you list them matters — the system will allot you to the highest-ranked college on your list for which you are eligible based on merit. Select your colleges carefully and in order of preference.
After you submit your college preferences, you cannot make changes. The counselling board will process all registrations on 10 September 2026 and declare the allotment result on 11 September 2026. You will receive your allotment status on the portal — check it regularly. If you are allotted a seat, you must report to the college by 18 September 2026 with all required documents. Failure to join by this date will result in forfeiture of your seat and the security deposit.

Critical Traps: Documents That Will Get Your Application Rejected
The college will verify every document you submit at the time of admission. If any document is missing, expired, or does not meet the requirements, your allotment can be cancelled and you will lose your seat and security deposit. Read this section carefully to avoid these common rejection reasons.
**Passport and NRI Status Documents:** Your sponsor's passport must be valid (not expired). An NRI certificate must be issued by the Indian embassy in the country where your sponsor resides — a certificate from any other source will not be accepted. An OCI or PIO card must be issued by the Government of India; state-issued documents are not acceptable. If you hold an NRI status certificate or PIO card, you must have been residing abroad at the time of your first NEET attempt. If you took NEET while in India, you are not eligible for NRI quota, even if you moved abroad later.
**Relationship and Sponsorship Documents:** The relationship certificate or family tree chart must be verified by a competent revenue or local authority — a notary or private verification is not sufficient. The sponsorship affidavit must explicitly confirm both your relationship to the sponsor and the sponsor's financial responsibility for your education. An embassy certificate must confirm that the sponsor resides abroad; a simple letter from the embassy is not enough — it must be an official residency certificate.
**Financial Proof:** Bank statements or salary slips of the sponsor must clearly show the sponsor's name, account/employment details, and sufficient funds to cover your medical education. Statements older than 6 months may not be accepted. If the sponsor's name on the bank statement does not match the name on their passport, the application will be rejected.
**NEET and Academic Documents:** Your NEET scorecard and admit card must be originals or certified copies. Class 10 and 12 mark sheets must show your name, roll number, and marks clearly. If you have changed your name since Class 12, you must provide a name change certificate issued by a competent authority. Birth certificates must show your date of birth and be issued by the municipal corporation or civil registration authority — school birth certificates are not accepted.
**Language and Translation:** All documents must be in English or accompanied by certified English translations. If your passport, NRI certificate, or other documents are in a foreign language, you must provide a certified translation. A translation done by a friend or family member will not be accepted — it must be certified by an official translator or the embassy.
- ⚠️ Sponsor's passport must be valid (not expired)
- ⚠️ NRI certificate must be from Indian embassy in sponsor's country — no other source accepted
- ⚠️ OCI/PIO card must be issued by Government of India, not state government

- ⚠️ Embassy certificate must confirm sponsor's foreign residency, not just be a letter
- ⚠️ Bank statements/salary slips must show sponsor's name and sufficient funds; not older than 6 months
- ⚠️ Sponsor's name on bank statement must match passport exactly
- ⚠️ Birth certificate must be from municipal corporation or civil registration authority
- ⚠️ All foreign-language documents must have certified English translations
- ⚠️ Name change certificate required if your name changed since Class 12
What Happens After Allotment? Joining and Document Verification
If you are allotted a seat on 11 September 2026, you must report to your allotted college by 18 September 2026 with all 16 required documents in original or certified copy form. The college will conduct a final verification of every document at the time of admission. This is your last chance to correct any discrepancy — if a document is found to be missing, fake, or not meeting requirements, your admission will be cancelled.
Bring all documents in a single folder, organized in the order listed in this article. Do not send documents by post or courier — you must present them in person at the college. The college will make photocopies and keep them on file. You will receive an admission letter and a receipt confirming your enrollment.
After joining, you will be required to complete all formalities including fee payment, hostel registration (if applicable), and medical fitness tests. The college will provide a detailed checklist of these formalities at the time of admission. Failure to complete any formality by the deadline set by the college can result in cancellation of your admission.
