Gujarat is one of the most NRI-friendly states for MBBS because seats are available across municipal government colleges, GMERS government-aided colleges, and private self-financing colleges creating a wide fee range for U.S.-based families.
Municipal and GMERS NRI seats usually fall in the ₹20.8–₹28.0 lakh/year ($25k–$33.75k) band, while private self-financing colleges range from ₹20.8–₹47.7 lakh/year ($25k–$57.47k). Pure government colleges and AIIMS Rajkot are typically via AIQ/MCC, with much lower fees.
Below is a short overview of medical colleges in Gujarat showing NRI seat availability and the fee structure across municipal/GMERS, private self-financing, and AIQ-only government options. Detailed college-wise information on the admission route and fees is provided in the sections that follow.

| Government (State Govt / Central – AIQ Only) | Not Applicable (Eligible via AIQ/MCC only) | ₹0.25 Lakh / $300 per year (State Govt)₹5,856 / $71 per year (AIIMS) |

This is the minimum NEET qualifying requirement to be eligible for counselling (including Gujarat counselling).
| Category | Qualifying Percentile | NEET 2025 Qualifying Score Range |
| UR / EWS | 50th Percentile | 686 -144 |
| OBC / SC / ST | 40th Percentile | 143 -113 |
| UR/EWS – PwBD | 45th Percentile | 143 -127 |
| OBC/SC/ST – PwBD | 40th Percentile | 126 -113 |
Gujarat does not have a single fixed NRI cut-off because admissions depend on college type (Municipal, GMERS, Private SFI, AIIMS via AIQ), quota bucket, and counselling round. Round-1 usually closes higher, while mop-up and stray rounds can see sharp drops.
| Category | Score |
| NRI Cut-Off 2025 (Gujarat – expected range) | 520 – 150 |
| Rank Range (Expected) | AIR 4,000 – 10.5 lakh+ |
Municipal colleges close higher, GMERS are mid-range, and Private SFI NRI seats can drop near qualifying marks; AIIMS Rajkot is via AIQ with no NRI quota.
Here is the complete step-by-step MBBS admission procedure and eligibility criteria for NRI students in Gujarat medical colleges.
You can apply under NRI category if:
U.S.-based clarity: If your child is a U.S. citizen with OCI, your eligibility is generally treated under OCI/NRI category, but documents must be perfect (OCI + passport + sponsor proof if sponsored).
These are the documents required for NRI students applying for MBBS in Gujarat, including NRI/OCI–specific mandatory documents as well as the counselling and admission documents required during admission.
| Document Category | Required Documents |
| NEET & Identity Documents | NEET Scorecard, NEET Admit Card, Passport (Student), Photo ID (as required during counselling), Recent Passport-size Photographs (as per counselling format) |
| Academic Documents | Class 10 Certificate / Marksheet (DOB proof), Class 12 Marksheet, Class 12 Passing Certificate, Migration Certificate (if required), Transfer / School Leaving Certificate (if required), Character Certificate, Gap Certificate (only if applicable) |
| Category Documents (If Applicable) | EWS / SC / ST / OBC Certificate (valid format, if applicable), PwD Certificate (if applicable) |
| Candidate Type | Required Documents |
| OCI Candidate | OCI Card, Student Passport |

U.S.-based tip: Keep all sponsor documents in one “NRI folder” and ensure sponsor name + address match across proofs (this is where most rejections happen).
