As per the eligibility criteria for NRI quota, applicants will have to produce the document issued by the Indian Mission or ministry of external affairs (MEA) confirming that they are NRI, child or ward an NRI (minor under bona fide guardianship).

The documents submitted during the NEET UG counselling 2025 process will be verified at the time of reporting to the allotted college. The colleges will send these copies of proof to the MCC, which will then be sent to the concerned mission or embassy for verification.

If any candidate is found to have submitted incomplete or false documents, their candidature will be rejected.

“If the documents are found to be ‘FAKE’ at a later stage, the seat of the candidate is liable to get cancelled and action as deemed appropriate by the competent authority will be initiated against the candidate and the college,” the MCC said.

Further, the MCC reserves the right to seek further clarification or supporting documents if necessary. “Any attempt to misrepresent eligibility will result in disqualification,” it reiterated.
