Those taking admissions under NRI quota have to produce supporting documents: MCC

The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has released a notification stating that all the students who wish to register themselves under NRI category will have to register themselves under the NRI category and have to produce the documents supporting their claims of NRI status. Such candidates will have to send the relevant documents at ug.nri.mcc@gmail.com.

Candidates can send their documents between November 3, 5 pm to November 5, 10 am. Mails sent before or after the stipulated time will not be considered. The decision has been taken on the order of the Supreme Court so that no students with lower merit can take admission to the NRI quota.

A writ petition was filed by the Consortium of Deemed Universities in Karnataka (CODEUNIK) as many cases of students who were Indian residents taking admission to the NRI quota were coming to light.

The fees for NRI quota are generally higher than that for other students, therefore Indian students who could afford to pay the fees took admission to NRI quota seats despite getting a lower score.

According to the court order, "not more than 15 per cent of the seats shall be reserved for NRIs depending on the discretion of the management subject on two conditions. First, such seats should be utilised bonafide by NRIs only for their children or wards. Second, within this quota, merit should not be given a complete go-by.”
