The National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) Under Graduate 2013 for MBBS and BDS courses does not have clear instructions for the admission of Non-Resident Indian (NRI) students.

While 15 per cent of the total seats in private medical and dental colleges are reserved under the NRI quota, sources from the Directorate of Medical Education said so far they do not know the number of seats allocated for each state or the modality of admissions.

“The number of seats for any state or the number of seats in the NRI quota has not been announced by the Central government for both under and postgraduate medical courses. The case challenging NEET 2013 both UG and PG is still pending in the Supreme Court and the verdict is awaited,” sources said. Till date, the admission process has been based on the marks obtained in the entrance test conducted by the college managements. However, as per the SC order, results of various entrance tests have to be withheld until further instructions.

All the organisations have conducted entrance tests like the Common Entrance Test, Consortium of Medical Engineering and Dental colleges, individual deemed universities entrance tests and Karnataka Linguistic Minority Religion Professional Colleges Association, for admission to professional courses.

Each year, nearly 2,000 students of Indian origin claim seats in the NRI quota. However, the delay in the announcement of order has left medical and dental aspirants in the lurch.

Karnataka has been the destination for many students aspiring to pursue medical education due to the affordable fees and availability of seats in the NRI quota of private medical colleges.

AS Shrikant, executive director, Consortium of Medical, Engineering and Dental Colleges of Karnataka said: “Admissions for NRI students will be as per the previous year’s rules and students can seek admissions based on the results of entrance test and merit.

“The applications have to be submitted online and based on merit, students can secure admissions. There will be no change in the procedures.”
