The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has released the list of candidates provisionally eligible for conversion from the Indian category to the Non-Resident Indian (NRI) category for Round 2 of NEET UG Counselling 2026-27.
According to the list, 135 candidates have been included after the MCC, under the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS), scrutinised documents submitted to support their NRI claims. The list includes candidates’ serial numbers, NEET UG roll numbers and names.
MCC has clarified that the conversion is provisional and applies specifically to the 2026-27 undergraduate counselling process. Inclusion in the list does not constitute final confirmation of NRI status for admission.
