Expert Tips from Radical Education
- Policies like the removal of the NRI quota can shift overnight. Always verify state-wise rules during every counselling round.
- With the NRI quota gone, more seats may enter the general/state merit pool. A good state rank now has higher chances of fetching a government seat. Prepare preferences accordingly!
- If you’re an NRI/NRI-sponsored candidate affected by this change, don’t limit your options. Deemed Universities, private colleges in other states, and management quota seats are still open.
FAQs
Will NRI or NRI Sponsored students be allowed to apply through any other route?
Yes, but only through general or merit-based counselling (AIQ or State Quota) if eligible.
Will this increase the number of general seats?
Most likely, the NRI/NRI-sponsored seats will be merged with the general merit pool, indirectly increasing opportunities for state or national rank holders.
What about previously admitted NRI students?
This rule is for the 2025–26 session onwards. Past admissions remain unaffected.
