AIIMS NRI Quota Seats

AIIMS does not offer a separate NRI quota for MBBS admissions. Instead, it provides a Foreign National quota (mainly for foreign citizens and certain OCI applicants). For NRI students, admission is only possible through the general NEET-UG counselling route.

Across all AIIMS campuses, only 7 MBBS seats are reserved for Foreign Nationals, usually at AIIMS New Delhi. These are filled through government nominations and not via the open NRI counselling pool.

There are currently 20 AIIMS institutions in India, but only AIIMS New Delhi offers 7 MBBS seats under the Foreign National quota, no other AIIMS provides NRI or Foreign National seats.

AIIMS NRI Quota Fees & Seats

At AIIMS, the MBBS fees are heavily subsidized. Indian students pay about ₹7,000–₹8,000 per year, which comes to roughly ₹40,000–₹50,000 for the full 5.5-year program.

NRI students do not have a separate quota and therefore pay the same fee as Indian students. The only exception is for Foreign Nationals at AIIMS New Delhi, where 7 seats are available under a special quota, and the total course fee is around USD $75,000.
