The Medical Counselling Committee has made NRI eligibility verification compulsory for OCI and NRI candidates seeking NRI quota seats in NEET UG Counselling 2026. An MCC notification issued on 6 August directs applicants to submit documents to its NRI Document Verification Team before choice filling begins. Candidates whose status is approved can view NRI quota and Indian Unreserved seats while filling choices, according to ABP Live. Applicants must also select “Yes” when asked whether they want to apply for NRI quota seats during registration. MCC has advised candidates to complete verification early, warning that delays could affect participation in choice filling or access to NRI seats.
