AIIMS NRI Quota Fees: College-Wise MBBS Costs & Admission Charges

Is There a Separate AIIMS NRI Quota Fee?

No. AIIMS does not operate a standard paid NRI-sponsored MBBS quota. The payment amount depends on the actual seat category for which a student is eligible and the reporting instructions of the allotted AIIMS campus. An Indian passport holder who lives in the United States is not automatically charged a foreign-national fee.

The amount widely quoted online as $75,000 is the foreign-national tuition specified in an AIIMS New Delhi prospectus. This must not be labeled “AIIMS NRI quota fees” for every NRI or NRI-sponsored student. For the broader admission context, see AIIMS NRI quota and AIIMS admission process for NRI students.

AIIMS Fees for Indian-Citizen NRIs, OCI and Foreign Nationals

For AIIMS MBBS admissions, nationality and seat category determine which fee notice is relevant. “Living abroad” and “being a foreign national” are not the same.

MCC’s foreign-national category guidance distinguishes foreign nationals and eligible OCI candidates from Indian citizens and NRI-sponsored applicants. The specific requirements of the current intake remain authoritative. Review AIIMS eligibility for NRI students.

How We Compare AIIMS MBBS Fees for Overseas Families

To help families comparing Indian and U.S. education expenses, the rupee-denominated amounts from published AIIMS prospectuses have been converted into dollars. The reference rate on 29 October 2026 was approximately 1 INR = $0.0105007, or $1 = ₹95.23. This rate is an illustration, not a guarantee of what a bank or institute will charge on the payment date.

All monetary figures have been rounded off to two decimal places. AIIMS normally gives its payment instructions depending on the requirements of the institute in terms of currency and mode of payment. This is not to be interpreted as acceptance of payment in U.S. dollars at AIIMS.

AIIMS MBBS Fees: All Colleges Compared

The table covers the 20 established AIIMS MBBS institutes in the 2026 counselling reference list, plus AIIMS Rewari and the separately identified AIIMS-associated CAPFIMS entry in 2026 data, including the newer campuses.This comparison uses the joining fee for Indian category MBBS in published institutes, and not an imaginary NRI joining fee. Figures for dollars have been taken on the basis of the exchange rate on 29 October 2026. These fees have either been taken from published joining notices/prospectuses, or are referred to as published secondary fee references.

Sources reviewed: official AIIMS prospectuses and MBBS reporting instructions, together with published college-fee listings where official campus figures were not independently located. The year and source type are identified in each affected row. Treat these as planning references, not guaranteed current payment requests.

AIIMS New Delhi MBBS Fee Breakdown

These are the fees for the Indian national students according to the official prospectus for the MBBS course in AIIMS New Delhi. These are in dollars as per the conversion table dated at that time for the benefit of parents in the USA.

Academic and admission charges

Hostel and related charges

The academic and hostel amounts come from the AIIMS MBBS Prospectus 2024, fee section 7.2. Confirm all updated charges and available hostel arrangements with the reporting campus.

AIIMS Foreign National Tuition Fees

The tuition for the foreign nationals in AIIMS New Delhi's MBBS course is $75,000, as stated in the MBBS 2024 prospectus. This fee will be paid in three installments: pre-clinical, para-clinical, and clinical. These installments are foreign national tuitions, not the three years' AIIMS NRI tuitions.

Other fees may also apply as per the notice issued by the institute currently. It would be inappropriate to extrapolate the figure of $75,000 to any other institute of AIIMS without having the official fee notice from there.

Are AIIMS Fees the Same at Every Campus?

The AIIMS institutions are government financed; however, payment terms, deposit refunds, mess deposits, examination charges, and accommodation may vary. An amount that is given in one institution cannot always be applied as a quote in another institution.

The campus comparison above distinguishes dated published amounts, reporting payments, and fees still awaiting a campus-specific notice instead of assigning every institute the same amount. For the MBBS seat matrix, see AIIMS NRI seats and college-wise MBBS availability.

AIIMS MBBS Total Cost: What Parents Should Budget Beyond Tuition

Tuition/ joining fee is just one of the financial considerations for any student. Families moving into the USA, UAE, or another country can incur other costs which could be incurred monthly, annually or even before travel.

For example, a published low initial joining fee should not be described as the complete MBBS degree cost. The biggest variable costs may be hostel, mess, travel and daily expenses, depending on the campus and family circumstances.

AIIMS Fees and NEET MCC Counselling: What Gets Paid and When?

The admission of an AIIMS MBBS candidate takes place through NEET UG and undergoes the proper counselling process by MCC. Fees for counselling by MCC and fees for institutes are separate; do not combine both to make “NRI quota fee."

For a practical guide, see AIIMS admission process for NRI students and AIIMS eligibility for NRI students.

AIIMS Fee Planning for NRI Students Living in the USA

In California, Texas, New Jersey, New York, and many other states of the USA, people prefer to calculate Indian MBBS fees in US dollars. Begin with the citizenship and school eligibility criteria before looking at the fee structure. An Indian passport-holder who studies in a US high school does not become a foreign-national candidate right away.
