KEA Notice: Applying Under NRI Quota for NEET UG 2025? Here’s Exactly What You Need!
KEA Notice: Are you planning to apply for MBBS/BDS/Ayush courses under the NRI quota for the 2025 academic session? Then it’s time to get your documents in order, because the rules are very specific, and one small mistake can lead to disqualification.
Who Can Apply Under NRI Quota?
If you are a child or ward of a Non-Resident Indian (NRI), you are eligible to apply under the NRI quota as per the High Court guidelines. This includes candidates whose sponsor (uncle, aunt, grandparent) is an NRI or OCI cardholder.
However, eligibility alone isn’t enough. You need to submit the right documents, and only the correctly signed ones will be accepted.

Expert Tips from Radical Education
At Radical Education, we’ve helped thousands of NRI families get through NEET admissions stress-free. Here are our pro tips just for you:
1. Embassy Certificate: Most Common Mistake
Every year, students submit notary-signed embassy letters. This is not accepted. The certificate must be signed by the Consulate General at the Indian Embassy — and must be recent (within 6 months).
2. Family Tree = Not Notarised!
Many families assume a notarised affidavit of relation is enough — it isn’t. You need a proper Family Tree from a Tehsildar (Revenue Office).
3. Sponsor’s Financial Proof Matters
Make sure your sponsor’s NRI bank passbook and visa are valid. Keep both hard and scanned copies ready — some states might ask for originals during counselling.
4. Start Early with Document Attestation
Embassy appointments can take weeks — book now if you haven’t! Procrastination is the #1 reason students miss NRI seats.
5. Apply in Multiple States
NRI quota rules vary by state. Radical Education can help you apply in multiple counselling rounds where NRI seats are open, including Karnataka, Maharashtra, Delhi (GGSIPU), and private deemed universities.
FAQs
I have a notary certificate for my family tree — is that enough?
No. You must get a Family Tree certificate signed by a Tahsildar only.
My sponsor is in the US. Can they email me the documents?
Yes — but make sure they send you proper embassy-attested PDFs, and not notary versions.
What happens if any one document is missing?
Your application for NRI quota may be rejected without review, especially by government or deemed colleges.
Can I still apply for management or general quota?
Yes. If you're eligible through NEET and domicile rules, you can apply under multiple quotas simultaneously.
