For 2027 planners · MCC deemed counselling

Deemed medical colleges for NRI students

NRI seats at deemed universities go through MCC Deemed University counselling after NEET. Not every deemed campus has a separate NRI row. Do not apply a flat 15% to the college intake.

Use the 2026 NMC intake as a size check. Use MCC 2025 Round 1 and Round 2 NRI AIR only as the last completed rank set. Confirm the live MCC matrix and the college fee notice before you pay.

The 15% rule on deemed seats sits on the NRI 15% page. This page is the college shortlist.

Replace the 2025 seat counts when the new matrix is out.

Last published comparison

Round 2 AIR is the last NRI rank allotted in that result. Vacancy and upgrades can move the next year a long way. Named fee totals on the NRI fee page can differ from a later college notice. Use the live sheet.

Each sheet uses last published figures from the source article. Admission route for all of them: NEET UG, then MCC Deemed University counselling, then the current MCC NRI papers.

Manipal · Karnataka · MAHE

KMC Manipal

2026 MBBS intake
250
NRI seats
2026 MCC split awaited. 2025 MCC reference: 38
2026-27 NRI fee
MAHE schedule: US$148,000 program fee + US$200 refundable caution. First installment US$37,150
MCC 2025 NRI AIR
Round 1 555,829. Round 2 559,034

Kasturba Hospital is a 2,032-bed tertiary teaching hospital. Families often pick this campus for research and a large international student group. Confirm the current WDOMS listing and ECFMG Sponsor Note before admission. The NRI fee page lists a different Manipal total. Use the live MAHE NRI schedule.

Mangaluru · Karnataka · MAHE

KMC Mangalore

2026 MBBS intake

NRI seats
2026 MCC split awaited. 2025 MCC reference: 37
2026-27 NRI fee
Same MAHE schedule: US$148,000 + US$200 caution. First installment US$37,150
MCC 2025 NRI AIR
Round 1 415,953. Round 2 201,031

Training sits across KMC Hospital Attavar, Government Wenlock Hospital and Lady Goschen Hospital. That mix is useful if the student wants a broad patient base, not one private hospital only. Round 2 looking tighter than Round 1 is vacancy movement, not a promise for 2027.

Mysuru · Karnataka · JSS AHER

JSS Medical College

2026 MBBS intake
250
NRI seats
2026 MCC split awaited. 2025 MCC reference: 38

MCC 2025 NRI AIR
Round 1 1,044,410. Round 2 1,244,680

JSS Hospital is about 1,800 beds with a large emergency and critical-care load. A high last-cycle AIR is a planning mark, not an admission guarantee. Confirm the 2026-27 reporting notice before you budget.

Porur, Chennai · Tamil Nadu · SRIHER

Sri Ramachandra Medical College

2026 MBBS intake

2026 MCC split awaited. 2025 MCC reference: 38
2026-27 NRI fee
Confirm the current package. Last official NRI package: US$260,000 for the course, including some hostel and institutional fees
MCC 2025 NRI AIR
Round 1 1,207,338. Round 2 1,207,338

Compare the full package, not only the first installment. Super-specialty exposure is the usual reason families keep SRIHER on the list. Check the current installment plan and the ECFMG Sponsor Note before you convert this into an annual figure.

Thandalam, Chennai · SIMATS

Saveetha Medical College

The 2025 MCC deemed seat matrix did not list a separate NRI MBBS row for Saveetha. Wait for the live matrix before treating this as an NRI-seat option.

2026 MBBS intake

NRI seats
No separate NRI row in the 2025 MCC matrix
2026-27 NRI fee
Do not quote an NRI fee unless MCC lists an NRI category
MCC 2025 NRI AIR
Not applicable

Saveetha reports 1,600+ beds, high patient volume and robotic surgery. Clinical volume can still matter for a later US file. For 2027 NRI counselling, the first question is whether MCC lists an NRI category at all.

Kattankulathur · Tamil Nadu · SRMIST

SRM Medical College

2026 MBBS intake
250
NRI seats
2026 MCC split awaited. 2025 official SRM/MCC reference: 3 NRI seats, not 38
2026-27 NRI fee
Confirm the new notice. 2025-26 official: US$50,000 a year + US$300 one-time registration
MCC 2025 NRI AIR
Round 1 886,880. Round 2: no fresh NRI allotment found

This is why a 15% guess fails. Three NRI seats against a 250 intake is a small pool. SRM reports 1,500+ beds and more than 30 specialty departments. Hospital size does not create extra NRI seats.

Kamothe, Navi Mumbai · MGMIHS

MCC 2025 NRI AIR
Round 1 977,586. Round 2 1,013,100

MGM quality papers describe a large NABH teaching-hospital system. Confirm the 2026-27 reporting fee before you convert rupees to dollars.

NEET eligibility for NRI students

A deemed college shortlist does not replace the eligibility file. Who can tick NRI or OCI, and which papers MCC asked for last cycle, sit on the NRI eligibility page.

MCC 2025 NRI AIR
Round 1 1,166,877. Round 2 1,277,668

The teaching hospital is published as 800 broad-specialty beds. A Round 2 AIR past 1.27 million is a last-cycle mark, not a 2027 floor.

MCC 2025 NRI AIR
Round 1 875,578. Round 2 1,095,766

DPU Hospital reports more than 2,000 beds, intensive care, modular theatres and transplant services. Budget the hike and the extras, not only year-one tuition.

Karaikal · Puducherry · VMRF

Hospital exposure is regional and smaller than the large tertiary campuses on this list. Compare research, electives and WDOMS/ECFMG notes if the student may later sit US exams.

If the student may return to the USA

NIRF rank and hospital size are not enough. The US path depends on the school listing and on the student’s own file.

  1. 1

    ECFMG listing

    Find the school in the World Directory of Medical Schools and read the Sponsor Note for the graduation years.

  2. 2

    Clinical volume

    Look for ward, emergency, medicine, surgery, pediatrics and OBGYN work, not only a large building.

  3. 3

    USMLE time

    Ask whether attendance leaves real hours for Step prep.

  4. 4

    Research

    Prefer a campus where undergraduates can work with faculty and write or present.

  5. 5

    US clinical experience

    Plan electives or observerships early. Ask which documents the college will issue.

  6. 6

    Transcripts

    Ask current students how fast the college handles transcripts, internship records and verification.

Case Example

472 / 720

Case Example: Riya, Dubai

CBSE in Dubai. She qualified NEET, compared MCC deemed options on hospital load and the payable NRI fee, and took a deemed MBBS seat in Karnataka. This is a planning sketch from the source article, not a 2027 allotment.

518 / 720

Case Example: Ethan, New Jersey

American curriculum. He qualified NEET, checked OCI papers, and took a deemed MBBS seat in Tamil Nadu through MCC NRI counselling. A US high-school year does not replace the MCC file.

How TestprepKart helps

TestprepKart will not sell an NRI seat. MCC still allots it. The work is the exam, the papers and a shortlist that matches the live matrix.

Shortlist

Colleges filtered by budget, state and a realistic NEET range, not by a copied top-10 poster.

Papers

NRI or OCI file, sponsor papers and the MCC checklist for that year.

Fee check

Tuition, hostel, deposit and any yearly hike, compared like for like.

NEET prep

Live classes, mocks and a plan that fits a US school calendar.

NEET exam results

NEET results from students abroad

These are NEET results, not a deemed-college allotment list.

FAQs

Are 2026 or 2027 NRI seat numbers final?

No. NMC intake is not the MCC NRI split. Use the live Deemed University seat matrix for the year you are counselling.

Why does this page show 2025 Round 1 and Round 2 ranks?

Those are the last completed MCC NRI closing AIR figures in the source article. They are for planning. They are not a 2027 admission cutoff.

Do all deemed medical colleges reserve 15% seats for NRI students?

No. Saveetha and Vinayaka Karaikal had no separate NRI MBBS row in the last completed MCC matrix. SRM had 3 NRI seats, not 38. Read the college-wise matrix.

Is NEET UG required for NRI, OCI and foreign applicants?

Yes. Qualify NEET. Then meet the MCC notice for that admission year, including the NRI papers.

How should a US family compare these colleges?

Live NRI availability, the full fee package, teaching-hospital case mix, the US licence file, and support for research, electives and transcripts. Do not pick on a low last-cycle rank alone.

Does a higher Round 2 AIR mean the college is easier?

Not by default. A small NRI pool, upgrades and vacancies move the number. Use it as a guide, not a guarantee.

Should parents budget only the tuition fee?

No. Add hostel, mess, caution, university or eligibility fees, insurance, US travel, FX costs and any yearly hike. Some colleges quote a year. Some quote a course package.
