OCI, NRI Candidates Must Verify Documents for NEET UG Counselling
NEET UG Counselling 2026: MCC Begins NRI, OCI Eligibility Verification Process; Issues Guidelines · telegraphindia.com

Every year, students in India who want to become doctors take a big test called NEET UG.

After the test, they go through a process called counselling to choose the medical college they want to join.

Some students live in other countries or have special Indian roots, and they are called NRI and OCI students.

These students can get special seats called NRI quota seats.

A group called the Medical Counselling Committee, or MCC, runs the counselling process.

MCC has said these students must show their special documents before they can choose their seats.

A special team from MCC will check the documents to make sure the students really qualify.

Once the documents are okay, the students can see both NRI seats and regular Indian seats.

MCC has also moved the date for choosing seats to August 8.

MCC says students should check their documents early so nothing goes wrong at the last moment.
