Candidates Eligible to File NRI Choices for PG Counselling 2025

(INDIA) The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) on November 4, 2025 published the official list of candidates eligible to file NRI choices for NEET PG Counselling 2025, confirming which applicants were successfully converted from Indian to NRI status after document scrutiny and can participate in the NRI quota during postgraduate medical seat allotment. The list, issued through an MCC notice with annexures, names candidates and cites their roll numbers, and sets out clear conditions for reporting with original documents to secure admission.

In its notice, the committee stressed that the approvals are provisional and tied to compliance at the time of joining an allotted college.

“The above candidates have been converted provisionally from Indian to NRI for the purpose of PG counselling 2025-26 on the basis of scrutiny of documents sent by them to MCC of DGHS. However, the candidates have to produce the same original documents at the time of Reporting in case NRI seat is allotted to them, failing which their admission is liable to get cancelled.”

The language underscores that conversion for the purpose of NRI choices does not end the process; it begins a final phase in which original proofs must be produced.

The list, crucial for candidates seeking seats earmarked under the NRI quota, follows a two-tier priority system. Priority 1 covers NRI candidates and children of NRIs, while Priority 2 applies to first-degree and second-degree relatives of NRI wards. This hierarchy will guide how NRI seats are allotted in the coming rounds of NEET PG Counselling 2025, a detail that matters for applicants weighing whether to place NRI choices at the top of their preference order ahead of the choice locking deadline.

MCC’s notice also fixed a set of dates that now define the immediate calendar for candidates. The committee previously set the NRI document submission deadline for conversions as October 28, 2025. Following the November 4 release of the eligibility list for NRI choices, MCC has kept Round 1 choice filling and locking open until 11:55 PM, November 5, 2025. The seat allotment result is scheduled for November 8, 2025. With the clock ticking, applicants who are now allowed to opt for the NRI category must finalize their choices with care, especially those who plan to prioritize NRI quota seats under the Priority 1 and Priority 2 rules.

The MCC outlined that the list includes only those whose documents passed scrutiny for conversion from Indian to NRI status. It also made clear that the list is provisional and subject to verification at the reporting stage. Candidates must present all original documents—such as proof of NRI status and relationship certificates—in person at the time of reporting to the allotted college. The notice warns that if these original papers are not produced, the allotted seat may be cancelled. For candidates building their preference lists now, the practical impact is straightforward: use the NRI choices with confidence only if the required original documents can be shown on reporting day.

A snapshot of the names included in the annexure underlines the breadth of applicants covered. The sample of eligible candidates as listed in the notice dated 04.11.2025 includes roll numbers and names such as 25661163271 for PRAVEEN KUMAR S, 25661235531 for AKHIL S, 25661001368 for NOOR NESA, 25661205742 for JITENDRA KUMAR GIDWANI, and 25662130187 for ADITYA SURESH. The sample continues with 25661005473 for BENJAMIN DAVID, 25661044183 for AMRIT VIG, 25661163801 for MALAVIKA MOHAN, 25661146135 for SHRISTI DASS, and 25661155583 for AMEY SINGHAL. Additional entries listed include 25661152114 for PRANAV SHUKLA, 25663168897 for KARISHMAH SENTHILKUMAR, 25661233254 for AFSAL, 25662042457 for HABEEB SANAH, and 25661076612 for VAHNIKA GUNTUKU. The annexure also names 25661075739 for KANISHKA MATUR, 25661112390 for RONEL THOMAS, 25661036807 for MARIA JAMES, and 25661096000 for ELINA JAISON. The notice makes clear this is only a partial list in the public summary; the full eligibility roll is contained within the MCC’s annexures released on the same date.

For applicants navigating NEET PG Counselling 2025, the announcement answers a vital question: who can legitimately place NRI choices in Round 1. By specifying Priority 1 and Priority 2, MCC has provided a transparent order for seat allocation within the NRI quota, reducing uncertainty as candidates prepare to lock choices before the November 5, 2025 deadline. The confirmation also gives college authorities a firm reference for checking original documents at reporting, which is essential because the notice states that admissions will be

“liable to get cancelled”

if documents presented earlier for scrutiny are not produced in original at the time of joining.

The committee’s process hinges on document-based conversion from Indian to NRI status for the purposes of counselling, not for any other legal status change. Those who submitted the required paperwork by October 28, 2025 were considered for this conversion. The names released on November 4, 2025 reflect those whose submissions passed scrutiny. For candidates who do not appear in the list, the implication is equally clear: they cannot opt for NRI choices in this round and must proceed under their existing category preferences during NEET PG Counselling 2025.

The availability of the full list is central for those seeking confirmation before locking choices. MCC said the complete set of names—including both Priority 1 and Priority 2 candidates—is published as an annexure in its official notice dated November 4, 2025. The notice and annexures can be accessed on the MCC website, which remains the authoritative source for counselling schedules, eligibility rules, and subsequent updates. The committee also indicated that the same documents are circulated through official government PDF releases of the MCC, providing multiple paths for candidates to verify their status.

As Round 1 progresses, the deadlines set by MCC add time pressure for candidates making NRI choices. With locking set to close at 11:55 PM, November 5, 2025, candidates named in the annexure must ensure that their preference list reflects the NRI seats they intend to pursue under the two-tier priority rule. The expected publication of the allotment results on November 8, 2025 will then determine who must report to their allotted colleges with originals in hand. The stakes are high: the notice explicitly says admission is

“liable to get cancelled”

if originals are not produced at reporting, an instruction that will likely drive careful preparation over the next few days.

The significance of the announcement is practical more than ceremonial. In many past counselling cycles, delays or uncertainty around document verification for NRI category applicants have caused last-minute changes in choices or reporting decisions. By listing names and roll numbers and establishing that conversion is provisional, MCC aims to create clarity ahead of Round 1 outputs. The effect for candidates is immediate: if your roll number appears, NRI choices are open to you; if it does not, you must avoid selecting seats reserved for NRI candidates. The Priority 1 and Priority 2 distinction will further shape how colleges see the pool of applicants moving through NEET PG Counselling 2025.

In keeping with the strict tone of the notice, MCC emphasized that candidates must produce the same original documents at reporting that were used for scrutiny. That includes proof of NRI status and relationship certificates that establish eligibility under the NRI quota’s definitions. The committee states, without ambiguity, that failure to meet this requirement may result in the cancellation of the allotted seat. For those planning travel to report to colleges, it means ensuring that original documents—not scans or copies—are ready and available on the reporting date.

The release date of November 4, 2025, sets a tight window between announcement and choice locking. Applicants now have a defined checklist of actions—confirm their presence on the MCC eligibility roll for NRI choices, align their seat preferences accordingly, and prepare for reporting with original documents if allotted. The sample of names published with roll numbers, including PRAVEEN KUMAR S, AKHIL S, NOOR NESA, JITENDRA KUMAR GIDWANI, and others, illustrates that the list spans multiple regions and applicant backgrounds, but the governing rules are common: Priority 1 over Priority 2 in NRI seat allotment, provisional conversion pending originals, and fixed deadlines that cannot be missed.

While the annexures contain many more names than those cited publicly, the MCC notice is unambiguous on its status: this is the official list for NRI choice eligibility, and it has been issued specifically for NEET PG Counselling 2025. Candidates and institutions will now work within its framework as Round 1 closes and the November 8, 2025 allotment results go live. For prospective postgraduate trainees seeking to use the NRI quota, the path forward is laid out in the notice itself, anchored by the final instruction that governs admission at the end of the process.

“However, the candidates have to produce the same original documents at the time of Reporting in case NRI seat is allotted to them, failing which their admission is liable to get cancelled.”

With the calendar compressed and the rules spelled out, the next days will be about precision—verifying names and roll numbers in the annexures, ordering NRI choices in line with the two-tier priority, and keeping documents ready for reporting. The MCC list released on November 4, 2025 resolves a key uncertainty for thousands of applicants and gives colleges a clear reference as the first allotment approaches on November 8, 2025. For now, the mandate is simple and strict: stick to the official list, follow the dates, and carry original documents to protect any seat won through the NRI quota in NEET PG Counselling 2025.
